I am looking to buy chickens to show. I live in Scioto County, Ohio. If anyone is selling in this area. Please leave me a message. I'm not looking for any particular breed. My grand daughter is interesting in showing. I told her I would ask around. Thanks ChickenChickenBulkBulk

I laughed the whole time reading your post because the Ausrolorp I have (pictured here) can be SO mean to the others that hubby was just saying the other day "she is a beotch!" To us she is a darling but to the rest of the chickens she makes SURE they know who is the queen & she has...
I had this happen to mine. It was a coon. They can pull the babies through the chicken wire. I have had fox get mine while they were out and then I had a coons that killed a lot of my babies..now would you believe I have snakes taking eggs from the setting hens. I have done everything to...
One of mine that is setting is a buff..she is the meanest one...she likes to get a hold of my skin and twist it. I have a black austrolorp hen that runs around with her wings all fluffed and clucking the whole time. None of the hens can look at her without her beating them up!! The new...
I have 3 broody hens right now...this is there first year...when they come off the nest they are crazy acting...they beat up any hen that get in there way..they take a dust bath, eat, drink and did I tell you they beat up anyone that gets in there way...were all in trouble when the eggs hatch...

I feel your pain...I have lost over 20..I have a 3 month old turkey with only one wing. Every morning I go out just hoping they haven't been back. We have went over and over the cage so they can't get in. They are getting them through he cage, they won't go to the roost, they sleep next to the...
Yes they do!! Don't you love it. I don't know if you have ticks were you live, but they will eat them up!! I think you should get another one so she'll have a buddy. She'll adjust like that everyday of her life!!! Gotta love the guineas!! LOL
What on earth am I doing wrong? They 2-3 month old are in a coop with the momma hen and her babies that are about 3-4 weeks now. They roost. There is 3 roost in this coop. Plenty of room for everyone. They still are on the floor. I am out there every evening putting them over and over on the...
