    My white leghorn not laying

    I have a white leghorn that is 8 or 9 months old. I got her when she was a few months old - no comb or facial features - she looked like a pidgeon. Anyway she is fully mature now and carries on like my other 2 hens before they lay eggs. She will sit on the nest for an hour or more, but has...

    NO! NO! NO! NO! You bunch of enablers.

    I have a hen that is young and recently grew her comb and facial features. She is about 6 months old . She seems to be trying to lay an egg. She goes on the roost and makes quite a verbal commotion. My alpha rooster stands by her side for the duration of these 1 to 2 hour episodes. So far...

    Chicken afflictions

    My chickens obviously have chick ticks or chick fleas that have gravidated to my Brittany Spaniel, Sassy. She has these really small fleas on her belly that I cannot remove. I have tried tweezers to no avail. I finally sprayed her belly with Frontline Flea Spray even though she gets the K9...

    Chicken Names!

    I named my first 4 roosters Paul, John, George and Ringo. Then I got one hen and named her Jezebel. Then I inherited 4 more hens and a little banty rooster. The banty was annoyed by my 4 roosters I already had so I named him Baby and babied him with attention until he fit in with the others...

    can a hen crow?

    Thanks for all your information. I hope she is a hen displaying rooster actions because her name is Amy and I don't want to start calling her Arnie. Seriously, I will just have to wait to see what happens with her. A friend who knows chickens checked a different chick several weeks ago and...

    can a hen crow?

    I heard a strange crowing this morning unlike any of my roosters - 4 bantys and one a bit bigger. This sounded like a much larger bird, with a very deep voice crowing. I went out to the back yard and waited and it was one of my 2 dominecker hens, or at least I was told was a hen. He (she) is...

    I am totally new to all of this about chickens. I have 2 out of my 5 hens that are mature enough to lay eggs. They lay them on the ground in the same place every day. One chicken appears healthy and normal. The other one does the same except that she has something hanging out of her vent...
