Meet Fats. Here is her/his story. We got her when she\he was a couple of days old. She grew up with all the others. She has never let a rooster touch her. Ever. She was the very last one to even start to try to lay. Never squatted like all the other girls do. She had a prolapse one evening as I...

We have 15 that we need to get rid of. Completely healthy and should start to lay here soon (within the next month or so). They were born on Aug 23, 2011. We are selling them for $2 a piece or $30 for all. Come and pick which ones you want. They are complete sweethearts. They were bought from...

Do hens mate with other hens? The reason I ask is we have this hen (at least we think she is a hen) that was mounting one of our other hens last night. If she is a rooster, she doesn't crow and is the whimpiest thing I have ever seen. From day one she is scared of everything. The hens do not...

Ever since he was a baby, if i come outside by myself him and the hens will all come up to me. Peck the bugs off or try to peck freckles or moles or whatever. Anyway, since he has put himself top rooster and is getting some, he will come up to me, do his dance then peck at me. Not hard. If I...

I have a red that just started laying. She layed for 5 days straight then just stopped. She still goes and sits in the laying box but nothing. She hasn't layed in 3 days and I am starting to ask questions. I have felt for an egg bound egg but i can't feel anything. Other than that she seems...

I went out yesterday morning and let the chickens out of their coop. The dogs were acting normal. The kids were outside feeding and watering all the animals. I went outside and was talking to my hubby on the phone and the dog started going crazy. I looked up at the tree and this was there...

It's so tiny and so beautiful!!! Now wishing the others will follow suit!

My girls started to squat last week. I am so excited, to start getting eggs here soon hopefully.

We got this puppy about 4 months ago. She was just a little thing when we got her. She is walker coon hound mixed with black lab. We were thinking that the coon hound would be good with chickens not even thinking about the part black lab was a bird dog. Well we had to put one down a couple...

This is our free rare and unusual breed chic from Mcmurray hatcheries. They will be 5 weeks old tomorrow. Do we have any guess on what breed he/she is? or wether it is a he or a she? [/img] [/img] [/img]

[/img] This is Lucy. I originally thought she was a Buff Orpington but she looks nothing like Fats now. These 2 are the same age but she is not getting her comb and waddles. [/img] This is Fats. They are 5 1/2 to 6 months old. Just wish they would start laying soon.

My girls are 5 1/2 to 6 months old and are on the 16% all purpose crumbles from orchelns. I was wondering since they haven't started laying yet when do i need to change them to the layer crumbles. Do I do it now or wait until they start to lay? Is there any such thing as a sterile chicken...

I have this hen who for the last couple of days has been laying behind the doghouse. None of them have started laying eggs yet. They are around 5 1/2 months old. She was laying on a walnut most of the afternoon today back behind the doghouse, so we moved the dog house and put the walnut in their...

My hens are about 5 1/2 months old. They haven't started laying yet, but the roosters have been trying to mate with them. Is that normal for roosters before the hens start to lay? Does it mean we are getting a lot closer to our first egg? Thanks

I have a question for all of you out there that are experienced in the art of chickens and laying eggs. We got out chickens from Orscheln's on May 19th. I am not sure how old they were when we got them. They were in the pen that said assorted laying pullets. Out of the 10 we got we lost 2...
