    What could have done this? *graphic* warning (link) :(

    My little flock of 9 went down to 8 yesterday :( I was so heartbroken. Something got into the chicken run and killed my only blue layer (one that took me forever to find). And yes, I cried like a baby. Her body was completely intact, no marks anywhere, but her head was featherless and...

    FREE Beautiful black/white/green EE Roo to a good home

    I need to find a good home for my beautiful EE Roo. He is about 3 months old. He is super friendly and loves people. He is used to being handled. He is also very gentle, and gets along with all the other chickens- including several guineas that are only 1/4 his size in the run. The...

    Araucana/EE: Pullet or Roo?? (PLEASE be a pullet!)

    I bought this "girl" about 6 weeks ago. She was in the pullet bin, but she is growing mighty fast compared to the others. She thankfully still looks somewhat round and not too lanky. I am questioning if she is truly a pullet. What do you guys think? Thanks for any responses...

    What in the world?

    I bought eight new chicks this spring :) I know what each one is, except for one girl! (*fingers crossed she is a girl*) She was in a "white egg pullet" bin at our local feed store. The people working had no idea what she was, but she was with probably 20 others just like her. I'v...

    I am so confused???! Does this mean chickens are not allowed?

    Hello. My husband and I are moving cross-country due to a military move. We are looking to put an offer in on a home we really like. It has a 1.5 acre lot. It is zoned for 4 horses. This is what the housing subdivision stated (protective convenants and restrictions): "The lots within...

    Poor, poor Chi-Chi :(

    I just found my favorite teen-aged silkie dead- Chi-Chi, my only black. She was in the roosting box. Her box is a bucket with the top cut halfway off. For some reason, she does not like to get in the coup. I had been locking her up, but did not do so last night. I found her dead in her box...

    Rehoming silkie rooster :(

    How do you guys rehome your roosters? I bought what I was told a sexed silkie (3-4 months old at the time). Well, "she" turned out to be a "he." I live in a residential area and my neighbors are not happy with him crowing early in the a.m. I put an add on craigslist for $10 but no hits...

    What would you do?

    With a heavy heart, I need to ask your opinions. I have a Cornish Rock Roo I "rescued" as a newborn. However, he is about 4 months now, and I can tell he was not meant to live long. He is HUGE, and has a crooked leg. He can move, but he has to hop everywhere he goes and his legs bends in the...

    Help!!!!

    This is my first experience with letting silkie mom hatch eggs (i'v never incubator either). Out of two hens, and 12 eggs, every single egg has led to a live, healthy chick.. except this very last one. For some reason, mom pushed it out of the coop and pecked it. The little chick inside is...

    First timer! I'm obsessed!

    I am so in awe! I'v got two silkie hens (and one silkie rooster). One wanted nothing to do with her eggs, the other turned into a broody machine. We brought Lucy (broody machine) inside the house in a dog crate (from fellow BYC's advice). I candled her eggs tonight... BABIES! Very neat...

    Broody Silkie!

    I'v only had chickens a few months now (and I'm already OBSESSED!!). I'v got two female silkies and a silkie roo. I originally was only going to keep the hens, but "Fluffy," my roo, is the absolute best and I can't imagine getting rid of him (even with those 6:30am crows). He is very...

    What is Bob?

    Hi everyone! I'm still new to BYC, so I'm hoping I posted this in the right place! I got my first chicks a few weeks ago. I also have three silkies which I am in LOVE with! I have no idea what breed one of the chicks is! He has feathery feet. Some have told me he looks like a cochin...
