Just got this new Texas sage plant and it wasn't long before my yard inspectors came to check it out lol. It was about to be a disaster in just a matter of minutes! I love my babies so much it is almost satisfying to watch them do it because they have so much fun, but I did have to remove it...
Hello everyone,
I have a hen who is my rooster's favorite and her back is getting worse. I noticed feather loss and healed lesions of what I believe is his nails/spur when he climbs on her. Can anyone recommend a good chicken saddle? I got some from Amazon and they are very bulky and seen not...
So for the first time I experimented hatching my own eggs. This is dad, mom, and child. I am shocked (and in love) that I got this black chick from the parents. I keep thinking how is possible. I always wanted a black chicken and I got one not expecting. Can someone explain how is this possible...
This chick I rescued is growing strong and inseparable from me. She really sees me as her mom. I've never done this and it is amazing to see how she follows me around, perches on my shoulder, "dust" bathes on my shoulder or lap, pecks at my clothing and shakes, grooms herself lol. It's so funny...

Hello everyone. I got a call from daughter that her friend found this beautiful chick stranded. It was alone. We picked it up yesterday evening and are trying to take care of it. I tried feeding it mealworm and all flock feed crushed up and it did eat a tiny bit (ate all the worms) and I placed...
I was on a walk with my dog and spotted this beautiful chicken on the sidewalk sleeping. I started to feed it yesterday and giving it water. I checked on it today and she is more mobile yet hiding and sleeping in the bush of these palms. It's sneezing and has puffy tired looking eyes. More...
Hello!
A neighbor gave me this rooster about 3 weeks ago. I have no clue which breed and how old he is. I have a mixed flock and he is quite a gentle man with all 5 girls. He leads them to treats, protects them, is always alert and watching over them. I never thought I would be so in love. He...
Hello,
This is my first time having chickens. I had 5 otherwise healthy girls. I was given a rooster by a friend 2 weeks ago or so. I noticed a change in their droppings and noticed some long strips with what looks like worms to me. I believe I may have an infestation possibly rooster passed it...
