    What happened here?! (Graphic)

    This chicken seemed fine this morning when I left for work. Just got home to this? I’m fairly new to chickens and I’m at a loss.

    Is this safe?

    We just brought home two new NH Reds to eventually integrate with the two we have left from our original flock of five. Are they safe like this for tonight? Also, how long do we need to keep them separated and what are we watching for?

    Injury?

    I’m not sure what this is. All four girls are in major molt, but this looks like blood. She is behaving totally normally and doesn’t like being handled, so I don’t want to bother her. Do y’all think I should be concerned?

    Free range risks vs rewards

    Curious about everyone’s thoughts. I understand the risks of letting our chickens free range. We just lost our rooster a few days ago, I assume to a hawk, though that’s a guess. I know my hens would be safer enclosed, but they don’t want to be enclosed! They wait at the gate and aggressively...

    Lost our very good boy!

    We haven’t seen our New Hampshire Red rooster in three days. Pretty sure he was snatched by something from the sky. I’m heartbroken and would like to get another at some point.

    When should I worry?

    Hi Y'all, My girls have been laying pretty steadily since we got them in July. One of them (Poulle) has been laying very large solid eggs consistently but over the last three days, only shell-less eggs. I know that can happen occasionally, but this seems like an issue. No change in feed or...

    What the heck is this craziness?

    Rooster just spent some time hiding in a bush, making strange noises. After about 10 minutes one of the hens came to check on him. He got up and followed her back to the flock and they all went off together into the woods. ?!?!

    She does this all the time. No threats around. Everyone chill and just hanging out.

    Questions from a newbie

    I have a couple of questions I’m hoping y’all can help me with. Firstly, one of our hens was laying regularly since we got her, but has not layed in the past 4-5 days. Also, her comb is floppy. Otherwise she is behaving normally; eating, drinking, free ranging with the flock. the other question...

    Chickens have a new favorite spot

    Our flock has discovered the condensate drain on the side of the house and spends a considerable amount of time hanging out there during the hottest part of the day. They drink from the pipe and from the puddle that forms under it, and seem to enjoy getting dripped by the nice cold water. Can...

    Who is laying?

    We got our chickens about a week and a half ago and I’m trying to figure out who is laying what? So far I’ve only noticed three of our four hens in nesting boxes and we got one egg most days. Yesterday for the first time we got two. We got chickens mostly for pets, so egg production is not my...

    Treats every day?

    I'm reading a lot about what kinds of kitchen scraps and other treats are good for our chickens, but not finding as much about quantity. Between me and all the kids, we probably go out to hang with the chickens 5-6 times a day, and each time there is something we could bring out to give them. We...

    Rhode Island Reds?

    My friend who brought us our chickens and built our coop only knew the breed name in Spanish, which I don't recall. What do y'all think?
