Wow, thanks for all the great responses! Scarlett has always been bossy and mouthy, but this has been pretty crazy. We live in close range to our neighbors and well...I worry about complaints. No one has said anything yet, but I figure if she's grating my last nerve with her tantrums, she's...
I posted a while ago about one of my hens that I thought could be a rooster. Everyone who answered my post seemed to think hen. Then she started making this crazy crowing sound so I thought she is a he. The other two hens have since started laying, and Crazy Scarlett has begun squatting...
My Rhode Island Red, Scarlett makes a noise that does not sound anything like what's on the video. She's the only one of my 3 who does this. Ginger, the smallest of the girls is laying and does not make any noise except a little muttering. Ruby also lays and does not do this. I've checked for...
Well...everyone who has responded has said "hen" so I'm going to wait and see. I just read an article in True Grit Magazine about how hens will sometimes crow when there is no rooster. This chicken has been bossy and mouthy from day one. The birds are all about 5 months old, I suppose in another...

Good morning All,
For the last 2 days, my RIR Scarlett has been "crowing"...long and loud every morning and throughout the day. Pretty safe to say that Scarlett is actually Will Scarlett...lol... I live in Tacoma and the city ordinance won't allow me to keep him, plus there are rumblings from...

Hello All,
Living in Tacoma city limits and I have 3 Rhode Island Red hens. I had 4, but 1 was a rooster so I sent him back to the fellow I bought from. The girls are almost 10 weeks old and beginning to cluck instead of the little baby peep-peep-peep. I'm kind of watching for eggs, but I've...
Hello All,
I've been outside everyday almost all day for the past week tending my girls, working on and finally planting my veggies and reclaiming the yard of our home. We've been here only since March and have managed to clean up and replant the front garden beds, dig out all of the crab...
Hello All,
I grew up in the 50's with neighbors who had lots of chickens and grew mini farms of veggies and flowers in their backyards. Lots of years gone since then. I just moved into a house in city limits of Tacoma, WA and have a nice 10 x10 graden area fenced off in my back yard. I think I...
