    My Sweet Bunny

    My little Bunny is quickly weaseling his/her way into #1! Eleven weeks old tomorrow. Think it could possibly be a pullet? Either way, s/he'll be very loved and have a forever home!

    Help please!

    I have 2 chicks that were hatched at school. One has an obvious case of splayed legs. I wrapped her legs together and she at least doesn't flip over now. Another one had gone almost 30 hours try to hatch so as a last resort I helped her out (on Sunday). She cannot walk and seems to just be flat...

    New Chick

    We are hatching chicks at my school. This was the first to hatch yesterday. Today 3 more went into the brooder with her. This one relentlessly attacked the other 3 smaller ones. I have a hen laying on 4 eggs due to hatch next week. So I brought this one home and put her under Tiny's wing. She...

    Breed?

    I'm a first grade teacher and our first baby at school hatched today. I know wing sexing doesn't work in all breeds, but if it did for this one, she'd be a girl. I'm curious if anyone has an idea about breed? I'm sure she's a mix but I am clueless about breeds. She has feathered feet.

    Broody hen

    My very first hen has gone broody. She's barely over a year old and has been on 3 eggs (one is hers) since yesterday morning. I've reluctantly decided to let her have her babies. I'm nervous though as I'm new to this. I know everyone says mom will take care of everything but I still have...

    Honey's Back ❤️🐓

    This is my roo, Honey. He just turned one this week. About last October he went to live at my son in law's grandparents' house because he was becoming aggressive here. They have a lot of land and chickens who free range (he was in a run here) so we thought he'd do better there. He did for a...

    Respiratory Issue

    This is a video of my sweet Ruthie breathing. Someone suggested I give her Denegard for Swine. Any suggestions?

    So confused

    I know hens can stop laying during winter, molting, etc. but this confuses me. My BCM laid her very first egg on Dec 5. She then laid 2 more, and hasn't laid one since. Why even start and then stop? Lol. She's about 7/8 months old.

    First Colored Egg!

    Got my first colored egg today, a beautiful light green from my sweet Licorice! She's my first Easter Egger to lay. Up to 4 hens laying now. All the others lay different shades of brown. The last picture is hers next to my Naked Neck's egg.

    Whose eggs??

    I have one hen who's laying in one of my flocks, and I've had 2 in the other flock. I now have 3 on the second flock. I've only actually seen one lay, my naked neck. The second I'm pretty sure was my BCM. The only other one who's been in there is my buff orpington. Now I'm confused bc I saw the...

    Stopping Brooders

    I'm a fairly new chicken mom. I started in May. I'm up to 8 hens and 2 roos. Only 2 are laying. It hasn't happened yet (knock on wood it won't!) but I've read some of my breeds are known for going broody. I don't have room for more chooks and definitely can't have more roos (I've already rehomed...

    Egg washing

    Sorry, I didn't know what topic to put this under. Also, I searched before posting but couldn't find what I was looking for. I know all about the bloom, how to wash an egg, that they have to be refrigerated if you do, etc. My question is, do they really need to be washed before you eat them? Two...

    Poop question

    Not an emergency, but should I be concerned?

    Finally happened :(

    I knew it would probably happen eventually. I have two boys who were hatched and raised together, living separately from my girls. (I recently rehomed one who was becoming very aggressive toward people.) They've been doing fine and suddenly today my favorite, sweet boy began attacking the...

    Update on the Chickies

    For those who've read my entries and are familiar with my babies... Tiny is doing great with the new girls now. Starting to get chilly out and they were all touching at bedtime for the first time last night. Honey has a new home where he can free range and has a girlfriend. He was getting too...

    My Roos

    These are 2 of my boys, Fudge and Marshmallow. They're about 21 weeks old. Marshmallow is like a puppy and loves physical attention. Fudge has always run from me like a crazy person lol. He is slowly warming up to me and allows me to touch him in small spurts. Yesterday he jumped up nest to...
