Awesome topic. I love fluffy chicken butts. This is what we called the "fern bar":

I have a few chickens for eggs right now, and in the future plan on raising some birds for meat as well. I'm wondering if there's anyone in the san francisco bay area who processes their own birds and would be willing to let me come out some day and watch/help/learn while they do it. It...

There are usually a couple of posts on craigslist advertising people in the BA willing to take in roos. Do a quick search on sfbay.craigslist.org and I'm sure you'll find something worth looking into...

Great idea! I live in San Jose, and I'd love to get involved. As far as disease spreading...if all the visitors stay outside the coops themselves and we make sure that the area around them is all clean, I think disease wouldn't really be a problem. For my part, I have a brick walkway around...

Cuties!

Quote: The wyandotte, actually. I want to get a really good close up of the feathers and blow it up and put it in a frame. Simple and gorgeous like the chicken herself.

No I'm allergic But I gots chickens! TPBM have you ever baked a cake from scratch?

A nice day of sun after a few days of rain put both me and my ladies in a good mood. So while they ran around looking for tasty snacks, I decided to take some portraits. Those little heads move real fast, it's hard to get a good shot! But here's a few of my faves, just for your entertainment...

Nugget is gorgeous! So dignified. I don't want to hijack your thread, but I'm curious so I have to ask: I see a polish in the background of one of those photos, and she looks all gorgeous and healthy! Mine get picked on by the other hens and have to be separated...do you have a solution to...

As to the red around your hen's vent: According to this website, that's 100% normal. http://www.afn.org/~poultry/egghen.htm

Quote: Congratulations and your kitchen wall..... that is beautiful!!! ALMOST as beautiful as that egg. Thank you, luvmychicknkids! The morning light really makes the walls glow...along with the yellow living room, green bedroom, and bright blue bathroom! I don't shy from color, that's...

We went with the chicken themed names: Henrietta (seems like a popular chicken name) Peckers (originally Gregory Peck, now nicknamed) Ms. Peepers Henny Penny CeeDee (CD for "Chicken/Dog" because she follows my boyfriend around like a loyal puppy!) I loved the post where someone mentioned that...

We gave her a trim this afternoon, and what a difference! As soon as we put her down, she started running around all crazy, dancing and dodging and pecking! It was so joyous. I feel like we gave her the gift of vision. Best of all, she stood up to my other hens that have been bullying her...

Thanks everyone. What a great forum.

My RIR finally paid her rent! She laid it right in the nesting box like a good girl. Let's hope the others follow suit... The egg in its box (along with the decoys): The egg in my kitchen: The proud RIR: Congratulations to everyone who posted on here so far! Those are some beautiful...

That is about the cutest/funniest thing I have ever heard. If I invited my hens to nap on the couch, they'd cock their heads and say, "Well, what are you gonna do for me in return?" They are, at best, scheming little opportunists... Seriously though, what is the poop situation like on your...

Hey everyone, I recently adopted two white-crested black Polish hens. (They are so cute! And for the record, the answer is no. No eggs. They are moochers.) One of them is very active and curious and seems pretty normal. But the other Polish has such a fluffy crest that she is blind! It's...
