    HELP! 6month Chicken has bent neck.

    When I went to check on my birds one of them had her neck bent almost 80 degrees to the right. There is no visible signs of external injuries and it’s not likely a predator attack. The only way I can imagine she hurt herself is if she fell off the top of the henhouse (about 5’ tall), or if one...

    The fortresses is finally complete!

    I know it doesn’t look as fancy as some of the amazing builds I see here on BYC but it is my first build, and I have zero wood working experience. I am very proud of it because, with the exception of the screws, locking hardware and a couple of bags of concrete; it is constructed entirely of...

    Can’t figure out what breed she is?

    I got one more for you guys. I bought her from a local feed store. The owner of the store wasn’t sure of the breed. She is the same size as my white leghorns, but unlike them she is super gregarious. She is always the first one to greet me when I hand feed them meal worms. Grey feet and rose...

    Need Help Identifying Breed

    Can anyone help me identify what breed of chickens these are. I bought 6 chicks from a local pet food store in Phoenix, AZ and I was told that they were all "Mottled Javas". The other 4 pullets are all Javas, but these 2 look different from the rest of the flock. The staff at the store, was not...
