    Sick pullett, crop problem - URGENT

    Faith is a 22 week old Seckled Sussex pullett. I noticed that she has seemed listless and not interested in treats over the last week and I saw her "heaving" like she was trying to throw up. Today she was up in the coop and I was petting her and noticed that her crop was huge and felt like it...

    Need breed for roo and hen - bantam?

    My SIL was looking for a rooster and was given a rooster/hen pair that are supposedly the same breed. Here is a picture of the rooster and the hen (usually hiding behind the rooster). They are smaller than her leghorns so possibly a banty. She just wants to be able to tell people what they...

    Do your chickens wear jewelry?

    Overheard my daughter telling a friend that she helped put pretty anklets on our chickens today - LOL multi-colored leg bands do kind of look like anklets and that is a nicer way of looking at it.

    Sex-links - all of the fun, non-technical stuff

    4 week olds - roo check EE, Sussex, Delaware?

    Okay, my chicks are all 3 weeks old. I'm starting to be concerned that one of my delawares is a roo-let. The first picture is the suspect, the second is a picture of the suspect with the other same age delaware. The suspect chick is bigger, has thick legs and acts much bolder. The last...

    5 day old chick taking bird baths?

    She knows how to drink and drinks some water from the ice cube tray and then dunks her head it in and takes a bath like she's a robin?! Anyone else's do this? She's a cute little chick (how's that for redundant!) from the Speckled Sussex bin.

    I'm Baaaaaccccckkkk!

    I gave up on chickens a couple years ago after getting tired of feeding the local raccoon, hawk and coyote populations. When coyotes came and wiped out half of my girls innocently free ranging in my yard in the middle of the afternoon, I gave the survivors to a new home with a LGD to protect...

    Who killed my hens?? - graphic

    It's my fault, I have a cold and I'm kind of out-of-it and forgot to close up the coop last night after the girls were freeranging. This morning, my daughter came in yelling that the coop was open and 2 chickens were dead. Zilpah was outside the coop, surrounded by feathers. Deborah - my...
