I thought it would be fun to make a thread where people can post how they got their horse. It doesn’t have to be your first horse, it can be whatever horse of yours you want to post about, or even multiple horses of yours! I don’t have a horse yet, but hope to get one soon😁

My sweet hen, Piper, passed away this afternoon. She was a white leg horn, and was only seven months old. Piper started appearing sick a week ago. She was having a hard time walking and was continually losing her balance. I immediately knew something was wrong, so I did research and started...

I have been getting into fermenting some of my chicken feed and would love to hear y’all’s opinions on it and if you do it or not!

I’ve had chickens for about a year and have been on BYC for around 8 months. I decided it was time to post a thread all about my flock and what’s going on with them. I will start by introducing my chickens. This is Disco. He is my year old Black Australorp Rooster. He is your stereotypical...

When I locked up my chickens tonight I noticed that there are a lot of feathers in the run and in the hen house. All of the feathers are black. I have 9 chickens. 6 of them are black including my rooster. All of my black chickens are under a year old. My rooster is always extremely good with his...

I am getting a barred rock hen to cross with my Black Australorp rooster to make black sexlinks. Does anyone know what the hens will look like and what the roosters will look like? I know you will be able to tell them apart as soon as they hatch, but how?

A couple of my hens have poop stuck on their butt feathers. I don’t want to just pull it off because that would hurt and pull off feathers too. Should I give their rear ends epsom salt baths to help loosen it and then gently pull it off? What can I do to prevent this in the future? Should I trim...

Ok, so I know that if you cross a barred rock hen with a black australorp rooster, the chicks will be black sexlinks. My question is, can you cross a dominique hen with a black australorp rooster and end up with black sex link chicks, or does it only work with a barred rock hen?

Can you guess what breed Henny Penny is? I know what she is but I’m curious if anyone else does. 😊

Hello, everyone! I am wanting to get ducks in the spring and am wanting to expand my garden as well. I’ve heard about ducks being good in gardens especially certain breeds such as call ducks and Khaki Campbells. Does anyone have any opinions or suggestions about this? Do ducks actually help/do...

I love hearing about what others are doing in their gardens or about their plants! (House plants or outdoor plants) I love plants and have a number of them myself. It’s always fun to see what others do for their gardens and I love seeing various ideas of what you can do with your garden and...

So, I have a Black Australorp rooster and I am planning to get some Ameraucana hens in the spring. If I cross these two breeds, will the chicks be Easter Eggers?
