    How many eggs can my broody banty cochin cover?

    Hi, all. I bought 6 Welsummer and 6 Ameraucana eggs from Inside Yolk through this site, and he very generously sent me 8 of each. I don't have an incubator, I bought the eggs to try to take advantage of Bootsy going broody (again!). She has hatched out someone else's egg before, but I can't...

    Was it the cat?

    Hi, all. Today I lost a smallish hen (a blue araucana) to a predator. The head was missing altogether, and she was ripped open. It happened in broad daylight, next to the back fence of the yard. I live in an urban area, but have a big back yard that backs up to the train tracks, so it's a...

    funny chicken sounds

    The little Easter Egger pullet sounds like a telegraph machine. She beeps CONSTANTLY. Like she's reciting War and Peace in Morse Code. It is MADDENING, since she hasn't been admitted to the coop and is actually spending her nights in the kitchen. I'm about to drown the little critter...

    Good-bye Goldilocks (bronchitis ... diarrhea ... fleas (rescue hen))

    I went to a poultry show last Saturday and came home with an "Araucana" pullet (supposedly, but with a tail and no ear muffs), who is perky and healthy, and a miserable salmon faverolle hen, of undetermined age, from the same breeder. I'm afraid the faverolle was one of those...
