Hi all, I was looking online at types of beautiful bird breeds, say that 5 times fast, when I came across the penciled wyandotte. I thought they were gorgeous! I'm not looking to buy chickens right now, but in the future I would like to have some penciled wyandottes in my flock. I was trying to...
I have a large backyard. There is more than enough space and grass and things to hide in and play with for my chickens. And yet, even with all this space plus a spacious coop and run just for them, when I let them out to free range THEY GO AND POOP IN THE ONE FRACTION OF THE YARD I DON'T WANT...

Hi, I have a dog who is so sweet and I love him, but when other people come to our house, he will sometimes try to show off by chasing our chickens. I don't believe he has ever hurt them badly, except for one time I think a chicken might have broken her leg running from him, we're not sure if it...
I hope everyone who reads this contributes to the thread! I will be posting random chicken related facts once in a while. I'll start off with this. Franklin D Rosevelt had a pet one legged rooster.

I think my chicken has mites. Her butt was really red so I assumed it was pecking problems but upon closer inspection i saw little bugs walking around on her butt. I believe this to be mites. because she has it i assume my whole flock has it. Any thoughts on if it's mites or not? and if so, any...
My chicken broke her leg a while ago. I only noticed when she stopped walking. She is doing slightly better now. she kinda hop/flies short distances. I can't take her to the vet. I don't own her I just take care of her, but I have come to think of her as my pet. She sometimes lightly claws the...
