Chicken has had increasing lethargy over past few days. Lost willingness to eat today. Not egg bound: can't feel an egg, and until she stopped eating she was pooping semi-solid feces. She is now standing with her wings slightly out to her side. Her eyes are usually closed. About half the time...

We bought a chicken in the late spring that was supposedly a cross between a Cuckoo Maran and an Ameraucana. We can definitelty see the Ameraucana in her butwe can only take the seller's word for the other half. She is just reaching the age where she should start laying. Yesterday, I caught her...

One of our hens has been hiding her eggs. Today, I found her nest, with a full dozen eggs in it. I have tested them with the float/doesn't float method, and by that rule they are all fine. Are they all good? How long can eggs last out of the refrigerator? Can we eat them safely? Sorry for my...

Does anyone have an explanation? She is more like 11 weeks in my opinion. Has all of her adult feathers. Her voice has changed, but barely. We got another chicken at the same time we got her, but the other is 2-3 weeks older. They are good friends, you will not find one without the other. Ember...

Our OEGB is broody. She has been for a long time, longer than it would take to hatch eggs. She is not eating very often, and is really skinny. It has got to the point where we bring her inside to feed her. She is sitting on golf balls. What can we do to get her to stop being broody? We are...

Can anyone tell me how I can get salmon faverolles in British Columbia (Victoria)? We would love to get a pullet to add to our unique backyard flock. Thanks for any info!

Is it OK for chickens to eat cat food? They discovered some recently and loved it. It wouldn't be anything more than an occasional treat.

Post your opinion! Purebred or mixed! I want to know your opinions on this topic; whether the best chickens are purebred recognized breeds or mixed breeds aka mutts. In our flock the friendliest chicken right now is a silkie crossed probably with multiple breeds. She gives us tons of eggs and is...

One of our chickens squats when approached and sits for awhile to be pet. Sometimes she will run over and squat when we are standing still. Is this normal behaviour?

Our chicken Pepper fell in our pond just a little while ago. She appears to be in shock and is shaking badly. Is there anything we could do?

We have a chicken who gobbles her food. The other day she started hiccuping. We think that's what it is, but could anyone support this? Thanks

How do we keep our chickens out of the vegetable boxes? Also, is there any way to keep them off our deck? They like to be near us and even invite themselves into our house. It wouldnt be so bad but chickens tend to have dirty feet and poop alot

What can I do to keep my flock warm and healthy during the winter? It freezes here and I'm worried that they won't be able to get water. Short of bringing them new stuff every few hours or breaking the ice every hour, what can I do?

I want a rooster. My mom doesn't on account of their crowing at between 5 and 6 am. Anyone know how to keep then from crowing before 7:00?

This is Blacky standing next to Pepper, our barred rock. Anyone know what she is? And yes she is full size

This is Skittles. We do know she is part silkie but idk the other half. Light sussex maybe?

We have a five month old columbian wyandotte, Lacy that chases, and beats up cats. She (or he) is not the dominant bird, that would be Pepper, our barred rock. Lacy hasn't laid an egg or crowed yet and I was wondering if given the circumstances this might be a hen or rooster. The cats aren't...
