    Pleas Help - My new hen loves to escape

    Hi there. I just got a lovely new hen today. She’s sweet as can be. But I quickly discovered she enjoys escaping over my 8 foot enclosure. I clipped one wing, and she can still get out. I clipped the other wing, and she can still get out. I love this new addition but I’m scared that she’s going...

    New Bullying Behavior

    I have a small backyard flock of 5 hens, all the same age, about 6 months. There has always been one dominant hen but she's never been nasty, until yesterday when she straight up attacked one of my other hens, pulling feathers out of her head and making her bleed. These girls have a huge space...

    Could this egg come from this hen?

    Exciting news - I got my first egg today! It was adorably tiny, and peachy colored. The only problem is, the hen I think who laid the egg should be laying blue eggs. Now, I didn’t see her actually lay, but she’s my only young hen who has shown interest in using the laying boxes. In fact, this...

    Noises?

    Hi there! I have 5 pullets (12 weeks old) that have this habit of talking to me nonstop when it’s evening and they are in the process of roosting for the night. I’m taking it as though they just love me (lol), but seriously, what is all the talking at bedtime about?

    Showgirl behavior

    I’ve had these showgirl chicks for two weeks now. I have no previous experience with this breed. They are kind of strange in terms of behavior. I feel like they don’t interact at all, and don’t really do much of anything. Is that normal? My hens (Ameraucana, langshan, cream legbar, maran) have...

    Showgirls - pullets or cockerels?

    Hi everyone! I have three adorable little showgirls. I’m honestly not sure about the age, because the woman I bought them from, although super kind and lovely, seemed to have a bit of memory loss. I’m guessing they are somewhere between 4-6 weeks. Anyway, I think I have one pullet, and two...

    Blue Wheaten Ameraucana Sexing

    This lovely bird is 12 weeks old. I thought she was a pullet because she has lighter feathers. But just recently her face is making me think differently since it turned reddish. Thoughts?

    What’s your guess?

    This little cockerel is 8 weeks old. I have no idea what breed he is. He was sold to me as a chick as “either a langshan or blue copper maran”. He’s got cute little puffy cheeks and hardly any tail feathers. I got another grey chick from the breeder and she is very obviously a langshan pullet...

    Blue langshan or blue copper Maran?

    i have these two 5 week old littles. I feel quite positive that the lighter grey one is a BCM pullet. No clue about the other. It looks so different in body type, being much taller and with high set tail feathers. I thought at first it was a roo but it’s super timid compared to the others and...

    Golden Cuckoo Marans - how to tell the sex of chicks?

    Hi! I just got two Golden Cuckoo Marans. I keep hearing different things about how to tell the sex of chicks for this breed. I've heard the black chicks are hens and brown are Roos. Then I've also heard that color doesn't matter, it just depends if they have spots on their heads. Spots means...
