Hi all!! Haven't posted in a very long time but I have a BO who is going on 3 years, her and her coop mate both went through a molt about the same time, she started first. My other chicken a GLW has grown her feathers back and seems just fine. But my BO hasn't grown most of her feathers back...
So this is Francis. I've wanted a hedgehog forever, and the pet store not to far from me got in some babies! So I went and looked. I of course wavered back and forth a bit because of the price, but as soon as they put her in my hands I was sold!!!
So my run smells... It didn't until I went in today and tilled up all the soil that had gotten packed down. Now it smells BAD!! Besides lime what is a good way to make it less smelly?
So it's starting to rain quite a bit here. and I was wondering if I should cover my run with a trap to help keep it from getting all muddy. Any suggestions?
Is there a difference between Buff Orpington eggs and Golden Laced Wyandotte eggs? I'm curious because my BO has been laying for like 2 weeks now and my GLW should start laying any day now.
So my chicken has laid 3 eggs in 3 days. These are her first eggs. But she lays them under the coop. The one today was in a corner where it had looked like she had tried to build a nest. But she won't use the nest box. I have nesting material in the boxes and a fake egg. So what else can I do?
Finally got my first egg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lucy my Buff Orphington laid it today, she just turned 23 weeks today
And here is the happy layer!!!

I caught these fish down at the river just outside of Molalla Oregon, and was wondering if anyone knew what kind they were...

So I've got 4 chickens, A BO who is currently 20-21 weeks, GLW who is like 16 weeks, and EE who is 17, and a Polish who is like 10 weeks. I'm not too worried about the younger ones but my BO is at POL and I'm still waiting on that first egg and since I'll be leaving for a week I won't be able to...
Okay so I'm rather annoyed with my family at the moment. It all started last night when I was working and I kept getting picture messages from my brother of my polish in his lap. When I got home and got on the computer he had posted pictures of how he vandalized my chicken. He took food...
So I have two questions, first off a little background I have 4 pullets, A Buff Orp 14 weeks, Easter Egger 11 weeks, a GLW 10 weeks and a White crested Black polish at 5 weeks(currently seperated) But I was wondering....
Is it okay to feed them layer feed now? and if not why?
Also what is the...
The 3 oldest, Lucy(BO) 14 weeks, Persilla(EE) 11 weeks, and Gloria(GLW) 10 weeks
Lucy has an evil side to her
Persilla is getting a nice beard
Gloria is getting laced up
And lastly the youngest, Alice a white crested black polish, at 5 weeks, who is currently integrating into the flock...
I have a 2 week old polish, who is living inside away from my 3 other birds. Well today I thought I would take her out and introduce her to the other three just a real quick kind of thing to see how it went. It went badly. Lucy my BO attacked the poor thing and before I could scoop it up she...
Okay so I have been wanting a polish for the longest time and finally went and got ONE today. Only one, we named her Alice. And holy cow is she tiny. So tiny that I don't think it'd be a good idea to mix her with a 2 month old and 2 4 week olds. So she is going to stay inside for awhile until...
I'm praying she's not a Roo. This one is my moms chick. She'd be upset if we had to rehome her.
Maybe it's just me but her comb is starting to look a bit red to me... But it could still just be the brown color it was.
and size comparison to my EE of about the same age.
Thank you for your...
