    Against all odds . . .

    I am hoping against all odds that Phil Collins, the eight-week-old chick pictured, is an overdeveloped pullet. I think I know the answer. :he

    World’s noisiest egg song

    My Ayala Cemani is the NOISIEST EGG SONGER OF THEM ALL! For a three pound chicken, she packs quite a decibel wallop. So, silly discussion time. What is YOUR noisiest chicken breed?

    Who knew they were that smart?

    I just got a fabulous new coop and run to keep my chooks safe and secure not only from predators, but to keep them out of my neighbor’s flower beds. The builder ran a string inside the door frame so I could open the latch from the inside. I fed the ladies, watered them, and went Inside for a...

    Cuckoo Maran/Barnum mix - they have me so

    My Barnie rooster was a very late developer (hence the name Marge) and my cuckoo Maran hens produced these guys/gals? I know the darkest one is a cockerel. I give up on the other two. Any guesses? Ignore the little brown dude. I know what he is. :) THEY WON’T STAND STILL!

    Why did my rooster suddenly square off with me?

    I slog out into the chicken pen today. I am not feeling well at all, but needs must. After feeding the ladies and talking to them for a bit, my rooster decides that today is the day to square off with me. He gets several boots to the chest, then he runs off. He is a very mild guy - why today? Is...

    Different breeds? Or just hatchery quality differences?

    Two different black and white feather patterns on these chicks. I thought I had all barred rocks. Any ideas? They were both hatched on April 20th and I got them from Mount Healthy Hatchery (if that makes any difference.) I don't think it is a difference between males and females, but I could...

    Magic Marge

    On April 20th, 2020, I received (11) random rare breed hens from Mount Healthy Hatchery. Everyone is a delight - including Magic Marge. This bird was shipped as a female and looked female as a check. It took me a while, but I finally figured out she was a Barnevelder along with two others At...

    Why are my chickens afraid of mice?!

    I saw a mouse or vole today, strolling nonchalantly thru my chicken yard. The ladies picked up their “skirts” and made shocked noises. Am I going to have to teach them how to eat mice? 😳

    Sour Crop news . .

    I have been researching the treatments for Sour Crop on BYC for the last week. I have a ten-week old Barnevelder named Marge with the condition and she wasn't getting any better with the 'throwing up' treatment and refused to eat yogurt after I emptied her crop. She was getting skinnier and I...

    Clicking and failure to thrive

    I have a two-week old Cinnamon Queen chick who's 1/2 the size of the rest. She eats a little and drinks a little; still poops HUGE. She also clicks when she breathes and I haven't noticed any of the others doing this. No discharge from the nose, nothing like that. Just puny and clicky. Any...

    I got an order today of three buff Brahma’s, three Cinnamon queens, and 15 assorted heavy chicks. The only one I’m having trouble with is this. What breed is this? I received four of them. Thank you for your help!
