    Broody Leghorn???

    Imagine my surprise when my brown rose comb leghorn "Winner, Winner Chicken Dinner" decided to go broody along with her buddy "Lowrider" the Japanese Bantam Cross. I always thought Leghorns were a breed that were less likely to go broody. Anybody else have a broody Leghorn? Winner Winner...

    Arizona Brown Chicken??? Please Help Identify.

    I have an Arizona Brown Chicken that I need help identifying. As a chick she looked like an EE with the chipmunk stripes. But she has yellow legs and no muffs. She also has a really flat comb; like a raised bump. She is about 3 months old. Thank you!!

    Help ID my "lowrider" chick

    This is one of the chicks that I got for my broody BO to raise about a month ago from the feedstore. She is extremely skittish, afraid of me and hides behind the other chicks. She looks like she's squatting most of the time, but she's really standing up. All the other chicks look tall on their...

    Two Sets of Chicks... How to Integrate?

Any how I went to the feed store and got her three one day old chicks and gave them to her. She's as happy as a clam being a...

    Help... Myrtle is in trouble.

    My 6 month old buff orpington Myrtle is in trouble. About 4 days ago she started hanging out in the nest box 24/7 so I thought she was going broody. She wouldn't come out to eat or drink, and I had to put on leather gloves to get the eggs out from under her. I tried giving her a bowl of water...

    My hen has a snotty beak, should I worry?

    Shamique, my 3 month old black australorp hen has had a dirty, muddy beak with sand, and stuff sticking to it for a day or two. Today I noticed mucous/saliva on her beak while she was eating her treats (boss). She wipes her beak on hard surfaces to clean it off. Is this something I should be...

    Got Comb? My Red Star Harriet Does.

    About a month ago I purchased several baby chicks from MPC, including two Red Star Pullets. One of the chicks, has a very large comb compared to the other. She is also a much lighter color. I thought Red Stars were sex-links. Is my Harriet a roo, or just "well endowed"? Any feedback is greatly...

    I thought I was hearing things... a crowing hen?

    Yep, my little lady Allison crows like a sailor. Every morning at the crack of dawn, and at other times during the day too. It has become louder and more frequent. Is there any way to make her stop or at least crow less? I've been squirting her with water from a squirt bottle when I see her...
