    My whole flock is all of a sudden spooked.

    I fed my chickens first thing this morning and everything was fine. I went back out to feed them some cantaloupe leftovers and seeds and the whole flock was afraid of me. They ran everywhere away from from me and even into my shop where I had to shoo them out TWICE! I've had my flock about nine...

    My chickens are getting ugly to my dogs!

    I've searched a little on The Chicken Forum about chickens and dogs and mostly find horror stories of dogs exterminating a whole flock and such. I have three small dogs that are not at all aggressive to my chickens. The dogs were introduced to my chickens when the chickens were just chicks and...

    How long have you been able to care for your crosbilled hen?

    I have one crossbilled hen in my flock. I considered "eliminating" her when I discovered her predicament as a chick. I had read about the feeding difficulties and low weight factors and wondered if it I wouldn't be doing her a favor. I'm glad I didn't. She's hanging in there and is quite...

    Do you ever step on your chickens feet?

    I swear every morning when I go out to feed my new flock on 19? week old wyandottes, I have to shuffle my feet to keep from stepping on someones toes. I weigh about 190lbs and I know it can't feel very good to them, they just squawk like " Hey! get off my feet so I can get to the chow". And then...

    Combining my 2 month old with my 4 month old Wyandottes

Do you think it's ok and start putting them together at night in the same coop. Some of the bigger Roos of the younger group already sleeps separately from...

    Keeping Chicks in Coop While Hens are Out

    This is my first year for keeping chickens. I got my first group of Columbian Wyandotte chicks in May so they are about 3 months old. I built a small coop that they go into at night. I also got a new group of mixed (beautiful) wyandotte chicks a couple weeks ago. I keep these 12 chicks in a...

    Introducing chicks to Pit Bull

    I have had my chickens going on a couple weeks now. My Pit Bull seems to have the sweets for my little chickies. She has always been with me when I feed and change the water out in the brooder. These are chicks from a silver laced wyandotte roo and silver laced or columbian hens. So I expect...

    HI All from Galveston Texas

    I just wanted to say hi to all of you. I have been lurking around this site ever since Hurricane Ike when I had to evacuate from here to Austin for two long weeks. I stayed with a friend there and noticed that a lot of people in his neighborhood had chickens in their back yards. I found this...

    Half Columbian and SL Wyandottes?

    This is my first post. I just got some chicks that are going to be half columbian and half silver laced wyandottes. These are also my first chickens! Anybody have any idea how these chicks are going to turn out? Also have some just plain silver laced wyandottes. And don't tell me they are going...
