    trying to give some chicks to my broody hen?

    i’ve gotten new chicks this spring, yay! and when i first got them, my little OEG hen named waffles became broody. she’s roughly a year old, and has been broody before but we’ve broken her broods multiple times. she’s the roosters favorite. we didn’t plan for her to raise them, so we already had...

    bantam/standard mixed flock?

    i recently got new chicks, and they’re adorable! my existing flock is made up of two lavender orpington hens (one is LARGE), a salmon faverolle hen, a teeny tiny OEG hen, and a single OEG rooster, who’s the protector of our flock. we decided to get a bantam rooster, because we feared that a...

    can chickens love people?

    i was cuddling with my hen today, and i was wondering, do chickens love like dogs do? i’ve seen arguments on both sides, that they think you’re the head of the flock and are only acting according to that, but some people say that chickens can feel love towards their owners. i think some roosters...

    persistent pale comb ?

    hello, my lavender orpington hen has been really pale for the past couple weeks and i don’t exactly know what’s wrong with her. maybe it’s because of the weather? they’ve been more cooped up lately, but even when it’s warm enough for the chickens to be let out, she’s still pale. a while back...

    what’s this on my chickens foot?

    hi, so one of my lavender orpington hens had this weird black spot on her foot. it had a little bit of a bump, but was otherwise just a black spot. at first i thought it was bumblefoot, because my other lav orp hen had struggles with bumblefoot, but i’ve never heard of bumblefoot on the top of...

    is my chicken too cold?

    hello, my salmon faverolle hen (shuu) has been feeling pretty cold lately. i live in MN, so it’s been starting to snow today, but she’s been sitting and puffing up during the 30’s despite being a very fluffy chicken. she’s always been pretty lightweight, and she didn’t have any problems last...

    is my chicken sick?

    hello, my little oeg bantam rooster has been feeling a little lethargic and looking a little pale. he’s been eating and drinking a little, he’s not a very big eater but every time i feel his crop, it’s barely full. we noticed he wasn’t crowing as much in the mornings and his voice became kind of...

    salmon favorelle hen colors?

    i got my two salmon favorelle hens from a feed store (shuu and purin) as chicks for $4 each. when they started feathering, i thought purin was a boy since her feathers were dark around her head and beard. purin ended up having a brown head; hence her name purin. she used to have some black...

    hen picking at another hen??

    hi, my oldest hen (tangerine) has always been a bit of a weirdo. she came from the slaughterhouse, so i expected her to have some loose screws, but she’s been doing this for about a year now. she pecks at the other hens. not like in a pecking order way, when she’s asserting dominance, but like...

    infection on bumble foot?

    hi, so i've noticed that on one of my lavender orpingtons hens that her toe was a little puffy and red. i realized this just last week on friday, so i ended up doing some research on what it could be. initially, i thought it was a bee or wasp sting since there's a lot of bees in our area, but...
