I got my newest batch of chickens yesterday since we are trying to self isolate against the mess going on. When I got home, I noticed the Barred Rock pullet has feathers that go out instead of laying against the body. Does it look like she may be a frizzle?
We had a pack of 4 dogs come into our property and go after our chickens in their run. We were alerted by our Pyrenees who was in the house, but she woke us up. I saw one with a chicken in it's mouth running, and we thought they had gotten a silkie. Luckily the silkie came back quickly, and was...

Hi everyone! I've been getting a lot of your page pull up in my Google searches, so I decided to join.
I've wanted chickens for YEARS but we lived in a neighborhood that they weren't allowed. Last June, however, we moved to the country on 3 acres. We didn't get chickens right away, we have...
