    My Broodie's gonna set herself to death X.x

    I have a broody BO who's been sitting religiously on her dozen eggs for at least 20 days now, candling what eggs I could (curse those thick-shelled EE eggs) I see there's little hope of a successful incubation. She's been sitting hardcore on the nest, going into broody over-drive and has lost a...

    Hatching Concerns - Poor Chooks O.o

    It's been a good few months since I last posted here, been busy building pens, looking through catalogs and otherwise enabling my chicken addiction. I just started raising chickens this year and and now that my chickens are older (mass chicken-birthday in march) I have a few questions. I...

    Standard leghorns unable to walk - low stamina - ideas?

    I have two chickens like this that were given to us as chicks by a family member who worked at Tyson's, these guys were rescued from the "not gonna make it" bucket and with some TLC, have been raised to near-adulthood. We've tried to make sure they have all the amenities, but they are still...

    Lil' Banty roo the first to crow of my babies.

    So cute! I was out feeding and interacting with my bantam babies when my little Mille Fleur rooster flew up on my shoulder, did his little power-stance thing and let out his first crow. Which, if I may be so bold, was very handsome for a first try. Especially after hearing my Gma's poor Standard...

    Predator loose with inconsistent MO - 4 dead and counting.

    Now I've read the sticky, and it has to be a weasel or a raccoon or one of the more crafty predators. But I'm curious to see what you guys think about the ID, and possible methods of eradication. Our pen consists of a 20'x20' chain-link fence square with hex-link chicken wire around the bottom...

    Arkansas Newbie sayin HI!

    It all started when I moved south from WI to help my grandmother around the house when she told me shortly after I arrived that she was going to order some Pullets for fresh eggs. Now, I was born a city girl and had never once thought of raising chickens in my life. She tossed me her Cackle and...
