Hi chicken whisperers! My neighbors are having trouble with a hen. She looks like she now has a giant crop/breast and has stopped laying. Other than that, she seems perfectly fine. They haven’t checked her poop, and she’s scratching and drinking just like a normal chicken from my short...

Hello, chicken people! I would love some advice. I’ve read some things on here about roosters injuring hens, but I guess I just need some more information. We have two really big roosters (one buff orpington and one Easter egger who was supposed to be a hen... yeah, we know how that goes.)...

I’d love to hear some thoughts on this. We live near a busy road, and In 12 years of chicken keeping in this house I have never allowed my chickens to free range because I’m very concerned about them causing an accident. I would never forgive myself if someone got hurt because my chickens...

Hi, my daughter and I have three coops... one regular one, a duck pen with a single Rouen drake, and a retirement coop with 2 bantams. Well, the 2 in the retirement coop are 12 years old, and one died today. The other one, a very sweet Japanese bantam, is pretty upset, so we’re trying to...

Ok, this is a dumb question, but some comment on a recent show has me confused, and I'm a novice chicken keeper. I have always assumed that free range chickens had the most nutritious eggs because of the variety of fresh foods (greens, bugs, etc.) that the chickens could eat. However, I've...

Hi everybody! Ok, I'm still trying to identify this chick. We got it out of the bantam bin at TSC over three weeks ago. It's a little smaller than the other bantams we got at the same time, and it's very cuddly. I was thinking it may be a white/black Japanese with long legs, obviously not...

Can anyone identify this chick for me? It's extremely small even for a bantam, is about 3 weeks old, and came from the bantam bin at TSC. It's very sweet and cuddly, as you can see from the pic. Thanks!

We just got a bunch of chicks about two weeks ago, and one is a Buff Orpington pullet. We ordered her especially because they're supposed to be such nice, friendly birds, but this one is not interested in being handled and won't calm down when we do handle her. She's also the most aggressive...

Hi everybody! I live on a very small farm just north of Indy with two dogs, two horses, and 4 chickens. A neighborhood has grown up around our old farm, so we aren't isolated like many people with this kind of property. This is great for our kids, but not so great with broody hens who want to...

Hi! I can't seem to find any black copper maran hens to add to my flock. Is anyone looking to sell a couple? I'm in Westfield, IN, just north of Indy and could drive. Thanks!
