    Hi Folks, I recently lost my Barred Rock Hen which left me with 1 lone lady. Before she passed I was planning to wait until spring to add to the family but now that I am down to 1 knew I couldn't wait. A friend was willing to part with 4 of his ISA Brown pullets that are somwhere between 10-12...

    My PRB hasn't layed in 2 days and I have started to worry. This is her first fall and she is about 8 months old so i though maybe she was starting to molt. Noticed her butt was looking "wet" and she does not have her usual energy and personality. I checked her vent this afternoon and it looks...

    "Sad" chick...

    One of our 3-4 week old chicks (Barred Rock) seems to be not as active as the others and has her eyes closed quite a bit. She doesn't have the same vigor her sisters do. My wife said she seems sad and we are getting a bit worried there is something wrong. We have seen her eating and drinking...

    Possible Breed (5th toe black legs?)

    Hi All, A couple of weeks ago we went to local nursery who get their birds from a hatchery. I purchased what was sold as 2 Plymouth Barred Rocks and 2 Asian Black chicks.
