    Heartbroken Roo After Bobcat Attack💔😢

    My sweet Speckled Sussex, Poppy, was killed by a Bobcat last week. This was our first experience in five years of chicken keeping with predator attacks, and we did not even know about the threat of these creatures😢. Poppy and Keith Richards, our Polish Roo, have been BFF's since they were baby...

    Did Keith Richard's girlfriend transition to Ziggy Stardust, or was he/she just a late bloomer😣🐓

    A year ago and a half ago, I REALLY wanted a classic rooster, like a nice Cornflake box Welsummer, to keep my 13 young pullets in line. Fast forward to the current day...2 of my 13 pullets turned out to be Roos...but not quite the homestead staple...both of my Silkie puff balls😶. Tried...

    Will my OG Rooster chill or should I start planning for his dispo☹️

    So, I have a 1.5 y/o Silkie Roo, Dixie...one of two OG silkie Roo's of my OG flock (now 9 hens)... his brother Dusty had to be re-homed in February because of aggression with the hens as well as Dixie. I don't have any silkie hens, so aside from being a good look out and leading the girls in for...

    What more can I do for my 3 week Sneezing Tweetie? Will this pass or is she in trouble🥺🐥

    Tweetie Tweetie is my 3 1/2 wk old Salmon Favorelle chick who I just recently noticed with sneezing and guppy breathing over the past 2-3 days. I purchased her and six others last Thursday from a local chick breeder where I have purchased many pullets over the past few years with success. Very...

    Hampbar Chickens...who else has them?🐥

    I got a pair of these little darlings with my chocolate Orpington chicks last month from a local breeder. I had never heard of them before, but they were so pretty and the breeder said they would blend well with my flock (Americanas, Orpingtons, RIR, Australorp, Brahma). They really are...

    First Egg Layed in the Garage During a Hurricane 🌀🐔🥚 #ThanksIdalia

    Our hens are 22 weeks old, and although they’ve been squatting and checking out the nesting boxes, not one egg had been laid. I figured it was this God awful heat wave over the SouthEast US…until….We temporarily sheltered them in our garage as we were put under a hurricane warning w potential...

    Is there such a thing as a “pre-broody” chicken???

    My Black Australorp is 16 weeks old, has not laid an egg yet, and when I let the girls out to free range and the others are foraging or taking dirt baths, lately this is what she has been doing. Also, very vocal and nervous around the coop, reminding me a bit of when my Golden Comets first...

    Urgent: Airway/breathing obstruction or just Heat Stroke?

    Hi all: This just happened this afternoon with my 15 week old Easter Egger hen Hazel. When I let the flock out for their daily afternoon free ranging I noticed her breathing and wheezing(?) like this. We live in Northern Florida and we have a severe heat index (around 111) but this has been...

    Will my Gold Laced Wyandotte always be like this?🫠

    This is my first experience owning a Gold Laced Wyandotte and she is by far the most aloof and lacking in personality of any chicken that I’ve ever owned (Despite being stunningly beautiful 😍). I’ve raised her by hand from a day old chick along with her 12 other flock mates, consisting of...

    Silkie or Orpington Roo ?? 8 weeks

    So these are the last three chicks that have Roo potential out of our new flock…the eleven weekers we have determined are all pullets…these three are 8 weekers and the only two who we think MAY have Roo potential due to the comb are the Lavender Orp and the Buff Silky. We actually WANT a...

    Easter Eggers, do I have a Roo or just some dominant chick-a-dees???🐥🐓

    Hi all…I started a brand new flock a little over 4 weeks ago. With my previous flock up north, we didn’t know what we were doing and we just grabbed eight of the cutest chicks in the bin at TSC. We ended up with all pulleys, a silkie, a bantam, four golden comets and two cuckoo marans. Once...

    Starting A New Flock in Florida🐥🌴

    Hello All. My family started with this chicken business like many people did at the onset of Covid with the “panic pullets”🐣. Fortunately we had the location and opportunity with remote work/school situations to dedicate our time to raising a flock of eight chicks as well as building a safe coop...
