    Possible Impacted Crop in poor Liz Johnson

    (Yes our girls are named after professional women bowlers...tee hee). I'm fairly sure our sweet barred rock Liz has an impacted crop...and sadly I think it's partially my fault. I've been letting them roam around the lawn and I was totally unaware of the fact that tall grasses can be harmful to...

    How many days in a row do chickens tend to lay??

    Our RIR started laying recently and I'm surprised at how frequent her laying has been! We only have three girls: one RIR, one barred rock and an EE. Our EE hasn't started laying yet and it's obvious to tell the difference between the RIR and barred rock eggs because the RIR lays a darker tan...

I tried to get a few different angles...thank you for any...

    Barred rock pullet or cockerel?

    I’m new to backyard chickens with 4 little (hopefully) ladies that will be turning 6 weeks this weekend! I’m fairly confident that three are pullers but this one I’m on the fence...anyone with more chicken knowledge that might have a better guess than I do? Her comb and wattle do have a little...
