My Lucy is molting and my husband put a doghouse in her and Pigpen's "bedroom". She went in the doghouse and hasn't come out lol Surely she's not broody? Maybe just cold? Any suggestions?
I have a question about the cold weather coming up. I have only 2 chickens and we don't have a coop. They free range during the day and when they're ready for bed they jump up on a sawhorse in our breezeway and wait for us to shut the door. It took me months before I realized they would not melt...
I have a black sex link hen that I got in July. Her owner said she literally just hatched some chicks the week we picked her up. Can anyone tell me how often this breed goes broody? I'm getting impatient lol I want babies!
I have no idea what he is. When he was younger, someone told me he looked like a leghorn. Now that he's older, fishnet1971 has suggested he is the same as her Bird, a RSL. But someone on the thread for posting pics of RSLs said he don't have enough color to be a RSL. So any suggestions as to...
I have a question. Pigpen, my rooster, has been having what I call "chicken farts". He will be doing whatever he may be doing at the time and just freeze and stare into space. I wave my hand in front of his beak "Yoo-Hoo Earth to Pigpen" and he continues to stare like he's been hypnotized. Then...
How old are roosters when they start to show aggressive behavior? And if they are going to be aggressive will it show by then or will they one day a year later just decide to be a jerk? I'm just wondering. My Pigpen is 6 months old and he's never shown any aggression yet. (except the foot...
I have a question... My rooster, Pigpen has developed quite a foot fetish. He doesn't attack us or anything. He just follows us around and pecks us on the tops of our feet? He can hear the door open and he comes running. If its my husband, he will move on, but if its me or my daughter, watch out...
I want to make a page but I am always on my phone. Never on an actual computer... Is it possible? I switch to desktop and for the pictures it pops up enter image URL I've tried different browsers on my phone and I've tried entering image urls from Dropbox but it says failure retrieving URL. Any...
She looks like a Columbian Wyandott (not sure if I spelled that right) but she has feathers on her feet? Lol she's kinda dirty cuz we just rescued her and her four friends from my in laws who obviously don't care if their chickens have shelter, fresh water or food :(
I have two questions... First one: I had two chickens, Pookie and Pigpen. Friday Pookie disappeared right from under our noses literally. Well some if you may already know my chickens are very tame. We got a hen yesterday for Pigpen and thankfully, they get along just fine. But since Pookie...
))Hi I have only two chickens. They are about 3 1/2 months old. Not exactly sure since we bought them from a farm store and they were starting to get small wing feathers then. We have had them 3 months. They roam the yard during the day. We have been feeding them chick starter. What can they eat...
Hi. I've been reading (and posting a little) on this forum and have learned so much! Especially that no I am not crazy because I love my chickens lol I want to thank everyone for all of the valuable information. We had two chickens a hen Pookie and a rooster Dano. They were our pets and we kept...
Can someone tell me what kind of chicken these guys are? We got them at Easter (hence the green heads) but the store just had them labeled Easter chicks! Thank you
Here are my two chicks... They both think their name is Danny (my husband's name) and when we got them they were green. All that is left is a little on their heads. My daughter found out if you "pinch" their tail feathers they honk like a dog's squeaky toy lol here they are hanging around my...
I'm not sure if this I'd the right place to ask this question, but do chickens purr? I was sitting outside with my chicks (about 1 1/2 months old) trying to get them used to being outside. For some reason they hate walking in the grass lol and of course they both immediately jump into my lap and...
Hi! I'm new to this site (obviously lol) and we are not chicken farmers or anything, but we recently acquired 10 colored chicks. 2 green, 2 blue, 2 pink and 4 orange. After about a month, we realized there were too many chicks and not enough of us! We kept the two green ones and the other eight...
