    Eglu cube- purple with 3m run Tucson AZ

    I am selling my Eglu Cube with three meter run. It comes with "grub and glug" feeder and waterer and shade. It has been used in the desert for a year so it is dusty but the plastic is fade resistant and other than being lived in, it's in great condition. It retails for $1700. I am looking to...

    New egg layer and the insane egg

    I have never seen this on a forum before although that could just be from lack of looking. My RIR just started laying in the last 5 days. I was out of town so i only know of one egg prior to this one for sure. Today we heard her throwing a fit when she laid her egg and came out to find this...

    Help im a horrible chicken mommy...(gross pictures of chicken butts)

    About a week ago my husband noticed what looked like glass in the chickens poop. They free range in the back yard and we didnt notice any random glass in the yard and they didnt have any blood so we figured it was just something weird and a one time thing then moved on. then today we got only...

    3 week old leghorn

    Sorry for the blurry leg photo... This chick is aggressive when picked up, has very few wing feathers, very small tail feathers and a pretty large comb and wattles for a little almost 3 week old. Her/His buddy in the brooder, a RIR, also has these little buds on her legs but her comb is...

    roosting in the windows?

    My chickens used to roost on their little 2x4 roosting "bar" inside the coop until about a month ago when they started cuddling up in the windows. The windows are covered with fencing and are about 4 feet off the ground, so i am not terribly concerned for their safety but it just a little...

    roo follow ups, i think ya'll might have been wrong on this one

    So i had a barred rock up a few weeks ago and people thought she looked like a black sexlink roo because she/he is stripped but the legs were sorta greyish. I was all upset for a few days thinking "why did they sell me this chicken saying it was a br!?" As time goes on her legs are most...

    Never planned to eat my chickens, but...

    I am now 99.9999% positive i have a rooster in with my girls. I have had him up on craigslist for a few weeks, but no responses. i called the local 4h coordinator and no one is in the market for an EE roo. So now i'm slowly resigning myself to the idea of eating him. But i have questions: 1...

    not again... BR pullet please? **updated photo

    Ok so i just found out on this cite that my EE girl is really an EE boy. and now today i get a good look at one of my BR "girls" and shes sprouted wattles and a comb that's almost floppy... She had no dot on her head ever, my other girl did/sorta still does. This girl takes food from my EE who...

    3 grooved pea comb= roo? **clearer photos

    i just read that on someone elses post, that an EE with a pea comb with three distinct grooves is a roo for sure. My betsy was the LAST one i would have thought was a roo. At first i thought she might be dominant since she would stand in the food and peep at the other girls, but she grew so...

    Polish with a thinning spot

    Today i picked up my Polish to see shes got a bit of a thinned out spot on her head. Shes always been a little thin on top (shes just 4ish weeks old) Its hard to tell if the little tiny feathers poking up are just new ones coming in or have they been pulled out? two of the spots were red like...

    Rescue chickens! Hens or Roos?

    The human society said they were roos when i called, but looking at them they look pretty hennish to me. but im a noob so what do i know? there are four of them for rescue and their chances arent good if the info is wrong since no one can legally own them in town if they are roos. HS says they...

    too young to free range?

    My girls are about 4-5 weeks old. They are nearly completely feathered, with the exception of one who just seems to be a late bloomer. Right now they are in the coop with access to a run, which they never go out into. But every time i go out there to see them, they run out the door like they...

    Ideal 236 V ee maybe?

    Ok i had asked about this earlier but i have clearer pics now. My second "Ideal 236" (which is Ideals Leghorn Hybrid) wasnt labeled when i get her, and so the only reason i'd say she is one is because the guy at the feed store said so when i told him thats what i wanted and he picked her out of...

    When will they cluck?

    i have no clue how old my chicks are. I guess 4 weeks. but when do they start clucking instead of peeping? heres a picture if you'd like to guess their ages for me That lighter brown one in the middle was the same size as the darker brown one when we got them, but now the dark brown one is...

    I am pretty sure they grabbed me the wrong chicken...

    I went back to the feed store a week ago to get another Ideal 236 because my daughter liked the one we got and i was hoping for a few more eggs. I wanted one the same age as the ones i have at home so i wouldnt have to separate mine so i paid more to get them out of the outdoor run. When they...

    parenting is impossible. Im at the end of a rapidly fraying rope.

    So, i mentioned once before (in passing) that my husband and i work opposite shifts. I work in a management function for a huge insurance company, he works in a more entry level position in the same company. As such my job sort of dictates our scheduling. Right now i am working the ultra...

    omgosh my Polish is insane!

    I thought i read on the BYC breed list that white crested black Polishes were docile etc. My girl (Phyllis, think Diller) is out of her mind. Every time i come in the coop she runs under the nesting boxes. the other girls know i bring food but this one RUNS and flies and does everything she...
