    Roosters or Hens?

    We honestly thought that Freckles was a cockerel (long legs, flies over the 6' fence, roosts in trees) but three weeks ago he started laying eggs! Roosevelt layed her first egg yesterday.

    Comment by 'Finding Fifth' in item 'Ancona'

    Oh so glad to read this as we were convinced that our Ancona was a cockerel until he started laying white eggs. She has developed a floppy comb but she still acts aloof, flighty and loves to escape over the 6' high fence to get some quiet time. Yes she roosts in trees and has a great talking voice.

    Dog Attack

    This looks like a great run. Did you do the work yourself or get a professional in? I see you have a roof on it. Do you need that to protect them from hawks/falcons? I am new to chickens and so can I ask what is an RIR chicken? How do you find the silver laced wyandottes? We are keen to get...

    Dog Attack

    It is hard to lose a chicken but to lose them to a predator is traumatic. Sorry for your loss as well. We know that one of the dogs is well known in the neighbourhood and the street on which it lives. It wears a distinctive red bandana around its neck. My husband will file a report to the local...

    Roosters or Hens

    Good for you. It is not possible to know what another culture might find offensive especially if you live half a world away. Australian aborigines are proud of their heritage and far better suited to this hot sunny climate than my inherited Scottish skin will ever be.

    Dog Attack

    We just had a front fence with dog wire constructed at our property but the driveway gate is yet to be attached. This morning two small neighbourhood dogs got in and attacked two of our laying hens Washington and Breanna. We took them to a local vet. Washington's injuries were bites to her rear...
