I have four 1st generation Easter Egger pullets. I hatched these. Three are black and one blue. All are bearded and have darker legs. Very cute! I just can't keep them all. The father was a pure blue Ameraucana [not EE]. Mothers were a black australorp and a barred rock. So these are...

Hi My enclosed run sits primarily under the canopy of my large holly tree. A tree I am very fond of. It's about 60' tall. Will my chickens kill or harm it, either by scratching the roots too much, or more likely, by the "hot" fertilizer they spread around? I have wood chips down as...

...one of three possible hens! I have to re-home my gorgeous show stock Blue Ameraucana [not EE] cockerel [who had been sexed as a girl--oops!]. :( We love him so much we are hoping to find a real home for him but he hasn't left yet. All the chicks are about 5 months old. This morning...

Hi all, I need help. I have a small backyard flock [~ 5 months old] and this morning I got my first egg! I have a blue Ameraucana [not EE] cockerel in with the girls and I've seen him mount the girls. What are the chances this first egg could be fertilized??? I have to re-home the...

I don't remember my password and it is not listed under my profile. Since I don't remember it, I can't log in on another computer. How can I find out what it is? Thanks.

Posting CLOSED The dollar amount is not necessarily actual. It forced me to put something. I didn't want to offend. I'm in the Philadelphia, PA area and am looking for a couple [even just one] SF to add to my very young small back yard flock. I just adore what I have seen about...

Wondering... I don't want to do any harm. Thanks!

Hi, My BF and I will be making a coop for my new chicks, and want to know if chickens like their perches to be near windows or not? Do they prefer that or do they prefer to be against a blank solid wall? Thanks! We want to design it with help from all the knowledge here. :)

I know they're easy supposedly, but my chick's head spot is throwing me a bit. I bought her from a feed store in a pullet bin. I hadn't read the info on what to look for until afterward though. Ugh. Now I'm wondering if I picked one that might not be a pullet. Her head spot is very faint...

I just want to thank the person that suggested molasses for pasting up chicks! And PLEASE FORGIVE ME that I don't remember who I first saw mention it. I read so many posts on it I forgot to write the poster's name down. This is a quote of the recipe though: For my quart waterer I used...

Hi, I'm a newbie and am looking to get some chicks soon! I am torn however on which ones! I was first leaning towards silkies and olny silkies. I adore them. Still do. Then I thought I'd add in some bantam sized EE's. Maybe another bantam breed. Nice mix. Pros: Smaller therefore...

Hi all! I'm new to chickens! I have a different twist on the hawk question and will try to make this brief. I am currently planning to have ~3-5 hens and keep them in a large [150 sq ft +] area, covered with poultry netting during the day. Coop at night of course. They will not free range...
