    Maxine's tractor

    This chicken tractor cost about $100 in materials. It is a very small tractor (3' x 6' footprint) and houses no more than 3 regular-sized chickens.

    He wasn't a fancy chicken, he was just my indoor pet in my Beijing dump of a house.

    Who's got the tiniest eggs?

    I don't, because I don't have a cute tiny hen. But I saw this in the Chinese news today and wondered if this is totally normal for tiny bantam hens or if it's actually noteworth-ily small. (from http://english.peopledaily.com.cn/102774/7983624.html ) So can I see some pictures of...

    My rooster says "grgrrbrbrrRBRBRR!!" every time I sneeze

    I keep my chickens indoors so they hear me go about my business all the time. The rooster makes a "brrbrbrbrbrr!!!" sound after anyone sneezes, coughs, or pshaws or makes some other loud burst-of-air noise (i'll leave you to your imagination there...). It's sooo funny. He only does it if he...

    Is it just a coincident that my rooster started crowing when.......

    My sister and I have been raising a pair of chickens indoors for about 14 weeks. Last night my boyfriend flew into town, making it the first time in our chickens' lives that a guy has slept in the house. This morning , 7AM my rooster crowed for the first time. Now, it's probably just pure...

    China

    I live right smack in the middle of Beijing, where there are less giant highrises and more old old traditional courtyard houses. We are in a courtyard house but the courtyard is full of kitties and weasels that would nom up our birds in an instant.... though they're getting big now and our...

    Hello from China

    Hi, we will definitely have to trade stories! Where did you get your birds? What are you feeding them? So glad to see another poultry-raising expat in China on the backyard chicken forums! :)

    China

    Are yall talking about me?!?! Shenzhen, eh? You are up high off the ground so I agree you won't have as much of a predator problem. Lovely terrace! I am keeping the chicks inside because we are on the ground, with roaming cat packs and a resident Siberian Weasel. We do hear some hawk-like...

    Mutt Sex (week 10, unknown breed)

    Thanks for the input, everybody! So maybe we won't get any eggs.... but they are nice pets.... which will crow.... indoors... Will they fight a lot? Will they kill each other? Has anyone ever had roosters together with no hens who got along happily?

    Mutt Sex (week 10, unknown breed)

    what does "hatchery quality" mean? you never know where things come from when you buy things off the street in china, so i'm interested in any thoughts on where they came from. maybe they were sexed rejects from a factory farm ... which would mean 2 roosters. :( yesterday fifi appeared to try...

    Mutt Sex (week 10, unknown breed)

    We got 2 mystery chicks off a street vendor in Beijing. No idea what breed. They are about 10 weeks, though when I see other people's photos, they look comparable to peoples' 5-week olds or something. But they are 10+ weeks old now. Do they look bantam.... or just malnourished? We dont have...

    8-week old with balance / leg issues?

    Thanks for the reply. Actually she is walking around a liiittle bit today, but slowly. Maybe the leg emergency was a false alarm, but hopefully it won't be recurring. She's still really clumsy. But for precaution, I would really like some advice on how to supplement nutrition. The only animal...

    8-week old with balance / leg issues?

    We're new to chicken-keeping. We are keeping them completely indoors. One of them, about 8 weeks old, breed unknown (probably a mutt), has always been a bit clumsy. She (not 100% sure she is a she) used to be able to fly up and down to the roost (12"ish), but would often have crash landings...
