    Prissy

    Good afternoon Folks. This is my BR Prissy. She is close to 4 years old and really moving slow these days. She spends a lot of time squatting in the dirt, taking it easy in her old age. She sometimes has to flap her wings to get herself going when she gets up to walk. She also seems to be...

    Really Tiny Egg

    Greetings all. I have a feeling this is probably discussed on another thread, but there are so many, I'm not sure if I'll find the info I need. I went out today to find an egg half the size of my regular eggs. Is this typical for a hen's first egg? Penny, my Delaware, is right at the age now...

    Question

    OK, folks. I hope you don't think I'm crazy but I couldn't figure out where else on the forum to ask this question. Please don't think I'm a crazy hypochondriac. I'm usually not, but I have a question: Can a person get any kinds of parasites from a chicken?? This afternoon I picked up Prissy...

    Any Hispanohablantes here?

    How long till they accept her?

    Hey everyone. Yesterday I introduced a new Delaware to my flock of three chickens which include a Buff, a Lavender, and a Barred Rock. The Delaware is about 7 months old and up until now has been accustomed to free ranging. My girls have not attacked her, but they have certainly been treating...

    Fighting or Establishing Pecking Order??

    Hey Everyone! I just got a two month old Silkie today. I put her in the coop and Prissy, my Barred Rock, immediately started a fight and was locking on to the silkie's neck/head area. This lasted about 5 minutes and then the Silkie turned and started being the aggresive one, even worse than...

    Can't figure this out...

    Hey Folks. There could very well be a similar thread to this issue, but I didn't really see anything particular, so I'm asking for your input and suggestions as to what might be going on. Prissy, my Barred Rock, has been acting strange lately. She appears normal from all visual angles, but...

    So what do ya'll do for your day job?

    I'm a full time high school Spanish teacher. Hablo español muchísimo con mis estudiantes todos los días. What do y'all do for a living? I'd be interested to know....

    Here's a "Random" question for y'all:

    So someone please tell me why it is that as of late, my electricity company bills me for a 33 or 34 day cycle instead of a regular monthly cycle of no more than 31 days?? I talked with a rep from the company and they tell me that it depends on when the meter is being read. However, I don't...

    Another Fatality :(

    Good evening all. I posted about this orginally in another forum because I thought it might be odd chicken behavior but now I'm beginning to wonder if it's not a predator. I went out to the coop this evening to check water and food and found another one of my girls dead in the coop. It...

    Comic Irony and your opinion, please....

    So how many of you feed your chickens leftover eggs or chicken from the dinner table? I did this over the summer and I found it comicallyironic, considering that they gobbled the leftovers up in no time at all. Seems weird considering that they have no idea that they are eating their own kin...

    Bare Chicken Butts

    All summer long, two of my Buffs have had bare butts with few feathers. At first I thought it might be mites or something so I dusted with DE powder. I saw no difference, and the girls were acting fine otherwise -completely healthy. Now that they are in the height of molting, their little...

    Such good people!

    Hey Folks. I just wanted to say that I've been on several different forums in my limited experience, and I have to say that I have yet to meet folks that are so kind and pleasent as everyone here on BYC. Ya'll are so very nice. I think there's something special about the farming community and...

    Embarrassed and sadened. What actually happened?

    Good evening everyone. I hesitated to post this but let me give you the quick version so that you can give me some feedback. Last week I got really busy for about four days, and with the change in time and it getting dark earlier and me getting home in the dark, I forgot to check on my girls...

    A little concerned....

    If there is another thread on this, I would appreciate if someone would redirect me to it. I apologize if this is a repetative question. I have three Buffs (a little over a year old) and they have been doing great. This is my first time with hens that are in this stage. They only just started...

    New member (again)

    Hello folks. I was on the forum back about 10 years ago but had to sell my girls because we moved to Texas. I've been back in PA for 7 years and recently acquired some Buff Orpingtons last spring. I look forward to dialoguing and getting some good advice from all the members here.
