    Are my hens going to trust me after heavily misting them with water? Do i continue?

    It is 95 degrees outside and my chickens are struggling. They come out of the coop and hide underneath it all day. It may be a little cooler underneath there but there is shade in other places. They wouldn't even eat the cold fruit I threw out to them and they normally do. I gave them ice water...

    coughing? & losing feathers around neck

    I gave some chickens to an 'aquaintance'. (I call him an acquaintance and not a friend because after all this I really didn't like how he treated my chickens and his own animals.) He fed them corn and white bread. They are back on layer pellet now. Anyways, The rooster I gave him would make a...

    Please help ASAP!

    I noticed that my lavender orpington was hobbling. After inspecting her foot I can see that it is very swollen. Her skin is gray and where it is stretched it is Pink. She has a big brown spot that I thought was mud and tried to scrape off but actually it's where she is hurt. I can't think of...

    Chickens drinking dirty stagnant? water

    I put a question mark after stagnant because the definition includes smelly and this water isn't smelly. My A.C. Unit is in part of my chicken run beside my house and drains a lot of water in the summertime. This is the first summer I've had chickens. I always put THREE fresh bowls/small buckets...

    egg, no shell, odd posture, is she ok??

    I said posture because I can't think of a better word. Today my hen layed 2 eggs? She is most likely an ISA Brown, less likely a Rhode Island Red. (Red with a few off white feathers in her tail and on neck and the root of her red feathers is white) The first egg either came from last night or...

    What breed is this pullet?

    She was supposed to be a blue copper maran but from the few pics I can find online she looks nothing like them? She looks kinda like a blue laced red wyandotte but they came out months later at the store. I sure hope you know! Thanks!

    Ameraucana? Green legs. Blue or green eggs?

    I would love to know any and everything you might know about this 5-6 month old pullet. I was told she is an Ameraucana? I was told she will lay blue eggs but she has olive green legs, and someone else told me the eggs will most likely be green because of her leg color? Do you know the size of...

    Did my chicken suffer a long time?

    I'm upset today, finding out that a beloved chicken, Mary, that I had given to a friend was attacked and killed last night. The chicken got her head bitten off. Do you think it lasted a few seconds or minutes? Are both possible? I just wonder if she suffered a lot. I will try to find out more...

    How many yearrs do chickens lay eggs?

    I really hope this isn't true. I hope this doesn't mean that after buying 10 hens they are only going to lay for a few years and still be my pets but lay no more eggs? If so I really didn't do this the right way. Seems like you should buy a few chickens every few years. What have you...

    OK. My mind is totally blown! What is this!?!?

    I am new to chickens. I have one hen that is laying and the rest are young pullets that are very close to the general age of laying. I found a big piece of what looks like skin. I had no idea what it was so I smelled it and it smelled like raw chicken so I know it came from one of my chickies...

    Is my hen sick? Do i need to switch her food or add something?

    I have a ISA Brown hen named Belina and I bought her almost two months ago. She laid her first egg yesterday. It was a humongous brown egg. Certainly bigger than regular white large store bought eggs. Seems like she was kind of hiding out in the coop instead of coming out into the run for a...

    Columbian Wyandotte? Hen or Roo?

    My chick looks nothing like a Columbian Wyandotte but that's what all the yellow, grey, and white chicks were labeled when I got (her?). I guess her colors are going to change A LOT?? Isn't she supposed to be white with black on her neck and maybe butt? If not I'll love her the same but she's...

    So worried about my hen. HELP ?

    I bought a supposedly 9 to 11 month old ISA Brown hen (for my roo) from the flea market 7.5 days ago. (**See if you can tell by looking at the photos if you think she's that age??) She has been eating and drinking all she wants, as do all my chick-a-dees (food and water always available). She's...

    A match made in heaven or the other place?? lol

    I just got a supposedly 9 to 11 month old ISA Brown hen for my 3-4 month old Barred Rock Roo just so he'd have a mate while my other very young hens are growing up. They are both docile chickens and I can say this from raising 2 roosters and them turning out to be complete opposites. I got rid...

    What breed is this on the book cover?

    I live in TN USA. Someone told me this chicken was a California...... ? I can't remember the whole name. I googled it and could only find chickens with a spot or two. Thank you for your time.
