    Yikes it's a chicken hawk!

    Well, I guess the girls won't get to free range anymore. I had noticed a small hawk in the area, but thought it was too small to be interested in the girls. He is actually smaller than my hens. I did get worried enough to move the coop and build them a larger run. Apparantly, the run is...

    ulcer on waddle - is my chicken sick?

    Today I noticed a lump on one of my girl's waddles. That waddle is also sagging lower than the other one. The feathers directly under the area look rough as well. I would say similar to moulting. Is she sick? She's acting normal and I'm thinking I should just wait and see, but don't want my...

    New hen introduction advise

    One of my pullets turned out to be a roo. I cannot keep him in the city and am planning on rehoming him. I would like to replace him with a new hen. The question is - is it better to introduce the new hen while he's still around or to wait until he's gone. The roo and my two hens are about...

    Free to good home- Black Australorp Rooster - San Diego

    One of my 20week old pullets has turned out to be a Roo. He is just learning how to crow and we're in the city so he has to go. He has been raised as a pet and although he is not a lap sitter, he is a sweet boy and not aggressive at all. I would hate to think of him as someone's dinner. He...

    I'm soo confused - or my chicken is - help - Australorp hen or roo

    The more I look into this, the more confused I get. I picked up a 7 week old Black Australorp "pullet" from a local farm in April. She did develop faster than the other two birds I got, but they are all different breeds. Just as her comb and wattle started to turn red and I thought I'd be...

    Tiki coop

    All the birds sing words and the flowers croon... ...in the tiki tiki tiki room... My inspiration was the dog house I built last year. In San Diego, it's more about shade and keeping cool. Here's the coop before the roofing. At this point, I had plastic chicken wire set up on my tiki...

    Hello from San Diego!

    I'm new to chickens. My flock consists of: Mrs. Howell (blue cochin), Ginger (speckled sussed) and Mary Ann (black australorp). I picked them up when they were 7-8weeks old. The dog had to donate her house for temporary digs while I built the tikicoop(she sleeps on the couch anyway). They...
