    Are these worms, or fly larvae?

    I've noticed flies around the coop a lot lately (it's summer on a horse farm, go figure!) but last night I saw something wriggling in the poop in the coop so I waited to take a pic this morning. Is this just fly larvae or are these some kind of worm my chickens have? The vast majority of all my...

    Fox trapping

    My wife is terrified I'm going to kill or seriously injur our daughters favorite barn cat with my traps. I've got both live cages and coils for setting and can put them relatively far away from the barn but does anyone have experience with trapping foxes? They just don't seem dumb enough to walk...

    Fox Dog Training?

    I have a fox problem but I may also have a dog problem. If I'm around my dog will listen to me and not go after the chickens but a young one wandered into her territory once and she made a snack of it. How can I train her (or the new puppy) to be a guard and not a predator for the flock. Side...

    Lemon Blue?

    Are these all considered "lemon Blue?" Ignore the random ones in the background, just focused on the three yellow/gray EE pullets.

    Splash? Wheaten Easter Egger 9 week update

    I know I've posted her before but I can't stop questioning if it's actually a her or not. The comb is drastically smaller than the obvious cockerel to the point it's laughable and yet it's pinker than any of the other EE pullets. Below I've included a pic or two of the cockerel, of an obvious...

    Do you see more than two cockerel?

    Just double checking. I have one know BV cockerel and one known EE cockerel. Hopefully the rest are pullets. For reference they are just about to be 8 weeks old.

    Red shoulders on Easter eggers

    So I've noticed recently that my six week old EE pretty much all have some type of symmetrical red coloring coming in on their shoulders. One of them (Easter Egger Allan Poe) is quite obviously a cockerel and has been for several weeks now. My biggest concern is the wheaten one as that's my...

    Peek-a-Roo

    So my little flock is ranging in age from 4.5-5.5 weeks and I do believe I have spotted two, possibly three, roosters in the bunch. I'll post pictures and videos as they age for the next few weeks and let you guys tell me what you think (I'll keep my suspicions to myself for now). Also any help...

    Chicken making crackly grunt noise

    My 2.5 week old EE is making a very odd crackly kind of grunt noise for the last day or so. Occasionally it seems to coincide with a sneezy head shake/flick but not always as the chicks seems to be able to make it at will. It will go a minute or more without doing it and be chirping normal and...
