    White Tips on Comb

    I just noticed that the points on my BCM’s comb have white tips. What is this, nowhere near cold enough to be frostbite? I can’t catch her to see if it’s something that will rub off. The other 3 chickens don’t have this.

    Another “How do I get my chickens to sleep in the coop” Question

    I know we get too many of these questions, but here’s my situation: I added two pullets (now 12 weeks old) to my two 3.5 year old BO 3 weeks ago. Two weeks of “See no touch” with the babies in the extended run and the big girls in their coop/attached run set up. Last weekend I integrated the...

    Hen Growing Spur?

    I just noticed one of my 3 year old BO hens is growing a spur on one leg. I have no idea when she grew it, but I’m certain she didn’t have it at the beginning of summer. Is this common? Will it become a problem? She’s generally quite friendly, although molting at the moment so I can’t catch her...

    Shout Out to Miller Manufacturing!

    I bought a 2 gallon Little Giant galvanized vacuum waterer manufactured by Miller, but purchased from Amazon. When it arrived, the valve leaked, so I contacted Miller to ask for a replacement valve. They promptly sent a new waterer! Kudos to Miller Manufacturing.

    Chicken Panting and holding wings out and down.

    One of my 3 girls is behaving oddly. She came running out an hour and a half ago when I let them out to free range, now she’s standing still, holding her wings out to the side with her tail down and panting. Poops look fine, she won’t come out for treats, and lets me pick her up which she hates...

    Solved Zombie Posts

    This seems to be an issue recently, folks responding to old threads sometimes repeatedly. Is there a way to post a message to let new folks know to check the date of the original thread before they respond?

    Chickens Afraid of Something?

    I have 3 nearly 3 year old hens who stay in their coop at night and in the protected run area all day, they are only free-ranged in our fenced yard when I’m around. Hawk issues. I let them out when I get home from work and they go back in at dusk, or at least they used to. Since the beginning of...

    Red Solo Cup

    As I was trying to round up my Jerk Chickens before the storm coming in tonight I was reminded of a failed social event from this summer. If all else fails, my spoiled chooks will always come running when they see me come out back with their little red meal worm treat cup (about 1/4 cup in...

    What’s on my hen’s comb?

    What’s this on my BO hen’s comb? It’s only on the one side and wasn’t there 2 days ago (I didn’t check them out yesterday due to rain). She is the top of the pecking order of 3 girls, all nearly 3 years old, I’m positive no one would dare peck her. Very healthy, although probably overweight...

    Chicken Molting Again?!

    Hi All. This is not an emergency, so hopefully I’ve put it in the right forum. I have three 2.5 year old hens, this is their second year molting and taking a Laycation. First BO molted in September, second BO molted in October, and my Welsummer started molting in November. She currently looks...

    Beautiful Black Ameraucana Cockerel needs a new home (Atlanta, GA)

    Our 5-month old vaccinated Black Ameraucana cockerel needs a new home. We love him, but unfortunately my husband works from home and says the crowing does not make for a "Teams" player. He only crows in the morning and isn't very loud, yet. (Welsummer not included). Please contact me if you need...
