    Do your hens recognize...

    The fact that golfballs are not eggs? I have three broodies who I've moved to a private pen to prevent the other hens from laying more eggs in the clutches I'll be giving them or from accidentally breaking eggs when they try to share a box with the broodies. Now.. usually, I'll move them at...

    Hen with an eye problem

    I have a strange problem with my arucana hen.. First of all, a few weeks ago, she started molting. No big deal, I had 3 others start before her, so I guess they gave her the idea. She still looks rather raggedy, but is active, eats, and drinks with everyone else. She has not laid an egg since...

    4 Double Laced Barnevelder Chicks! No shipping!

    These four chicks were hatched under a broody hen on 12/8 - 12/9. They are robust, active, and healthy. Handled often, they are friendly and adventurous. They love being picked up and cuddled. They are eating and drinking well and all broke their own shells. These are NOT from hatchery lines...

    Youtube video link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkuDWujySgQ This is my black mottled cochin pullet, Ms. Frizzle. At :09 in the linked video is an example of the "sneezes" she was making for almost 10 minutes.. of course, everytime I was recording her, she turned camera shy and wouldn't...

    Easter Egger Cockeral free to pick up!

    Free to a good home to anyone in the Dallas area... I'm offering the renamed Apollo. Since what we thought was a beautiful pullet has now proved to instead be a cockeral, he must be rehomed ASAP, so I am offering him here first. Originally named Artemis for an early showing of hunting...

    Is this Artemis... or Apollo?

    Well.. I'm hoping someone can give me some advice/opinions.. This is what Artemis, my ameraucana pullet (?), as she looked a few weeks ago.. Here is how she looks today at around 4 months old. The reason I am questioning her gender is that this morning.. she crowed. But comparing it...

    She's brave.. if not smart.

    Despite my setbacks in chicken keeping.. I have enjoyed watching the personalities develop of my little flock. Today, my dad told me about something Artemis, my arucana, did. While we're worried that Artemis is showing qualities that might require her being renamed to Apollo, I still found it...

    Help with Brinsea Octogon 20 eco

    Hello, everyone.. hoping I can get a bit of help here.. A few weeks ago, I bought a Brinsea Octogon 20 incubator, wanting to take a shot at hatching my own eggs. However, before I commit living embryos to it, I wanted to do some "dry runs" first with setting it up and maintaining the correct...

    Are her intestines coming out!? *graphic img*

    One of my silver laced wyandottes has developed a horrible problem at her vent.. It looks like a bloody sausage stuck coming out. I ran her under warm water to try to see what exactly was going on.. but when I tugged on it, more came out but seemed to be covered in a white mucus. I was afraid...

    Injured chick! --what's wrong with her eye?-- *RIP my little one*

    I am a new chicken mom to four adorable chicks.. however, the smallest of the 4, an ameraucana, has somehow managed to become injured: Any idea what could have happened to it? Is it possible that one of the others pecked it? I have not seen any acts of open bullying, but this chick has...

    Hello peeps!
