    Sicilian Buttercup Gasping for Air?! Sounds distressed... please help!

    Hello friends, I came home from work early this afternoon to spend some time with my flock. (And hoping for first eggs since the oldest are 18 weeks old this week.) All afternoon, the sicilian buttercup has been gasping for air, kind of like she's going to bawk, but little sound comes out...

    Do Marans grow at a faster rate?!

    Brooder A has a Cuckoo Marans. The 5-week old chick towers her Black Australorp sister, hatched the same day/week. Brooder B has three 3-week old French Marans. ALL of them are already bigger than the 4-week old welsummer, blue andalusian, barred rock and turken. Normal? Just curious...

    Lost Two Overnight: What Gets Through a 4" Hole?

    I had a sinking feeling when I noticed a feather about 20 yards out from reaching the run this morning. When I got to the door, there were 6 very still 8-week old ladies looking at me. No one was moving. No one was cheeping. I looked into the cardboard box I had lying in the run, thinking the...

    My Chickens are Chickens - Did I Screw Up?

    So my chickens are CHICKENS. Every time I reach into the brooder to clean their water, fill their food, etc. they run for the corner and smash their faces against the seam of the box. All 8 of them. It's almost like they're convinced I'm going to kidnap them. Here's a photo of them from last...

    Greetings from North Tustin, CA

    Hello, friends! I grew up with three hens and a rooster. Now, as an adult, I've convinced my husband that having chickens is a "good idea." We plan to stage an area in our yard this weekend - and build the coop ourselves. We're picking up 4 (or 6) chicks next week from the local Wagon Train...
