    Any pullets? Two Coppar Maran's & an Auracana

    SO I'm thinking I may simply have unfortunate luck. I'm pretty convinced the the blue Copper Maran is a roo. Even the attitude is cockier (pun intended) than the other two. 99.9% this one is a roo An Americauna I still have some hope for being a pullet, buuut am thinking there are...

    I'm pretty sure I'm driving my family & friends crazy - more chicken pics

    So I've been so much more entertained by my chickens than I can ever truly explain. I just find them absolutely absurd, silly, and awesome! That being said I'm pretty sure my family and friends are getting a "tad" tired of my OMG look at my new chicken picture, and silly chicken stories. So...

    The Bug Games

    So I decided to test my chickens today. We were picking up chicken feed @ the store and also picked up 10 crickets. Our preplanning skills were a bit off though. We also needed to go to the store.I offered to stay in the car so we could leave the AC running and not murder the crickets...errr...

    Hens?

    So I'm pretty sure these two are pullets, but since it came up in conversation as me possibly being wrong I figured I'd ask. There has been no crowing. They cluck when offended or when annoyed. Cadbury (Rhode Island Red) (note this pic for whatever reason turned out pretty red, I'm not sure...

    Sharing a Chair

    So we got home from picking up cat food to find all of the chickens on one chair. For whatever reason they prefer the green chair over the brown one. I'm bummed it didn't turn out clearer, but figured it was worth sharing anyway. Sadly when I walked up they all stood up but before that they...

    Cluck!

    So we spoil our 4 chickens. We know it. They know it... heck I'm pretty sure everyone knows it. Every evening we water our trees with a hose drip. When the trees were planted they made little moats around the trees and put water in them. We haven't ever filled these in, and the far one...

    dried mealworms

    So I got some chicken scratch treats for my birds that included meal worms when I got them. They loved them. The meal worms were their favorite. I just can't bring myself to do meal worm farming, it creeps me out just a little too much. That being said I decided to make my own chicken...

    Maricopa, AZ chicken laws

    So this isn't "currently" an issue since I haven't had any complaints, but after I got chickens I realized I had: 1. Read the wrong HOA Doc (and now that I am enlightened considering typing the CC&R's which are a crappy scanned pdf copy into word so I have a searchable document) 2. I found...

    Perfect over easy eggs - Lids

    So I'm sure many, if not most of you are already aware of this, but I apparently have lived 35 years without figuring this simple trick out. "LIDS" I'm telling you it's like a whole new thing. That's right. Every time I try to make over easy/medium eggs I flip them. How else am I supposed...

    Buff Polish - Hen or Rooster?

    SO I had to return Betty, now known as BettyBob to the breeder due to failing to be a girl... dang him. I'm serious when I say the first time I ever heard him crow was when I let him out he fluffed his feathers hopped on top of the coup and crowed like chicken who'd been smoking for 30 years...

    To handle or not to handle

    GlaDOS = the cuddle bug. Wants to sit on my shoulder and sleep in my lap. Seriously possibly the sweetest chicken ever. Peep = friendly not a whole lot of fear of being caught and handled. Will wander right up and make herding the chickens where I want them more difficult by wandering slowly...

    Leg bumbs.. is it the nail in the coffin that means Betty is a Bob?

    Hello again, I haven't had any crowing, or really anything in particular that makes me think that Betty is a Bob, but I've been paranoid about it since I picked her up and was told she wasn't "sure" if she was a girl or a boy. Today Betty was stalking us by the window as we were watching TV...

    Adventures with Chickens

    I was half talked into chickens by someone convincing me that they are bug eating machines. They even went so far as to brag about their abilities as natural scorpion removal (being eaten by a bird is natural after all), and ant annihilators. Heck from the way she was talking they made the...

    Dust Pile

    So yesterday after I got home from work I looked out the window, and was terrified that I had purchased a 'burrowing' chicken. I mean I knew they scratched, and I'm fine with that, but I don't want actual holes in my yard. All I saw was what looked like a hole, and I didn't see the chickens...

    Hens or Roosters?

    Hello, Since I know nearly nothing about chickens, other than they are cute, what to feed them, how to clean the coop and the fact that yes they do indeed eat bugs I figured I might ask for some help. I got 3 chickens. 2 (the Rhode Island Red and the Barred Rock) I got from Pet Club who...
