My chicken miss Vana White is acting funky. She is a little over a year now and a mixed breed gal. She just recently molted and is now almost acting like she had a stroke or some kind of head truama (walking around really slow and not as fearful of me) she is all fluffed up and her comb is a...

My dog Maggie killed one of my little girls today...my favorite Barred Rock Oprah. The dogs are usually out with them so we thought nothing of it but when we went to let the dogs in from outside and saw the mess my mom told me to go back inside as she cleaned her up but I was extremely upset...

So As usual before work I head out to the coop to check on my girls feed and water them, and leave a little snack for them. Well as I was counting my now 5 weeks old girls I notice I'm 2 short....Oh NO! I start searching and panicing. I shout into the house for help and now everyone is looking...

My girls are almost 2 weeks old and I was wondering if there were any snacks they could start having now. I would really like to give them something to stimulate them other than the obvious holding them. Any awesome ideas? Thanks!

I have multiple small children that either live with me or around me and I was wondering if you can hold your chicks too much. They are in their brooder the majority of the time and each chick gets a break from the kids but should there be a max time being held? I'll have pictures of my new...

Okay so it's a sunny afternoon and the chickens are kicking around things in the coop and outside so I wandered in to check on somethings and I noticed two of my girls pecking at a ball on the ground infront of their nesting boxes. I walk closer and see a tiny brown egg. I of course squeel with...

https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=205890 So I finally got a picture of the two love birds...My little brother brought over a few friends and showed off his chicken whispering skills. They almost knocked the door down waiting for me Here they are together Whut...

Tonight while I was tucking my ladies in with a afternoon snack of relatively old hot dog rolls my youngest brother (9 y/o) asked if he could help feed, I said that would be great! I told him to go slow because they are usually a little shy, and he did great he stood on a little ledge becoming...

Okay, So I am a new chicken owner I've had my girls for a few months now, and within the last couple of weeks one of my hens has started to crow like a rooster. Her name is Meredith and she is the lighter or the two in the picture. the one in the back is Charlotte and she is Meredeth's right...

We picked them up yesterday around 6 and they are doing so well. This is what we picked them up in. This is them finally at home. Roaming around and exploring. Darkest one at the top is named Charlotte, the next darkest on the right is Meredith She has become my favorite so far, the lightest...

I'm just going to post the pictures lol enjoy Process beginning to end Dog butt A shadow chaser in his natural habitat What will happen to the chickens if they cross the line the nesting boxes Oh, to explain the plates inside the nesting boxes they are for easy cleaning if...

Okay I'm pretty sure everyone here has seen this website but I lost it and now even when search can't find it. It is a site that sells eggs from many breeds that are ready to hatch. It has pictures not only of the breeds of chickens but some information of the breed if someone could leave the...

I found this awesome site today and I thought everyone here especially with their own free eggs would love this...well atleast I hope! I'm actually going to try it tonight and see how it goes! Wish me luck http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=157915.0

I'm not quite sure if this fits here or not but I'm going to try it out anyway. I live on a 14 acre area but the coop is closer to the front half near the road. It's not right on the road but I have the fear they will wander off that way if given the chance. We also have some neighbors that live...

Alright I have 16 sets of pictures of my babies and if anyone could take a guess on what they are I would be so excited! We have 20 but 4 got away sneaky little things. They are all 7 weeks old 1 2 3 4 5(pretty sure this one is a roo) 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13...

Ok so the situation i am currently in involves 5 different breeds of chicken and one roo all the eggs are mixed up have hatched and are now 7 weeks old or so. We know for sure one is a roo but we were wondering how to sex them by personality. For instance do roos tend to fight more together or...

Just a few pictures! Tell me what you think! It's roughly 15 by 8 feet and we still need to seperate their living space from out storage space and then build all their nesting boxes and roosts. So so far so good and they will be nice and toasty warm during the winter with all that...
