    What are these bantam pullets?

    Sadness: my chickens aren't working out

    Hello friends, Last summer, we got our first chickens with high hopes.... alas, a year later, they've gotten into a stubborn habit of screaming every morning from 5am-7am. They have quite the spacious chicken compound, yet appear to be demanding to forage with these awful, incessant screams...

    Naked Chicken Bums

    3 week chicks, tail pecking

    Hello all! This is my first time owning chickens, and my first time posting. I have 8 3-week chicks, and we're getting into some issues with the EE. S/he has been pecking the feathers of the others, so much that my poor Delaware can't seem to grow her tail. I'm worried about her tail as it is...
