We lost one of our best hens last night :( We found this feather in the coop.. It's brown and none of our hens have any brown feathers anywhere. Can anyone identify it? My husband says he heard the chickens freaking out this morning at dawn but when he looked out he didn't see anything and...

My daughter was holding one of our younger hens and suddenly she began to drool which I just happened to get a pic of and then she dropped a shelless egg.. My daughter felt it hit her on the way to the ground an she said it was really hot.. I think the liquid that came out with the egg is what...

It's just the one hen.. She hasn't laid since June. I thought maybe she was just hiding them because she did that a lot but I've been all over the yard and found no eggs. I've checked all the possibilities.. She has plenty of water, food etc. She may be stressed but I don't think she is...

My husband and a friend were out back butchering the roosters.. I didn't want to see it nor did I want it to happen but it had to be done. Someone came over and wanted to go back there so I took this person back there thinking my husband probably hadn't started yet because he just got out...

I'm wondering if he's been injured but I can't catch him to investigate, he runs so fast, despite his limping and he hides in the bushes. I have to wait for my husband to get home to help I suppose but until then I was wondering if anyone else has had this behavior happen and was the result of...

Is a yellow dry vent cause for worry?

Sometimes when I give my hens bread, oats or other treats they won't eat it unless I offer it in my hands. I'll drop it on the ground and they'll just stare at me making little noises.. I'll even point it out and they'll follow my finger to the treat, look at it and nudge it but then won't eat...

Meet Tuck! He has chased two predator birds from our backyard this week! The other day two of our hens set off alarms which got our dogs attention! He took off out the door quicker than speedy Gonzales! So the kids and I followed and what did we see?!? Our dog chasing a hawk! That was a...

Our hen became broody and now we have some chickens we got from a farm with a variety of chickens. They're still pretty young so I realize it might be too early still to tell but I've had a few people suggest I post and try anyway and maybe we can get some guesses! Also they came from a...

My hen Tweeter has always been sweet but she is also the dominant hen of the bunch. I have had these hens for two years now. Last year Tweeter started the pecking order with Gumball (my other hen) and like I said, Tweeter came out the boss. All as been fine between the two.. They were like...

Is this okay? I mean they appear perfectly healthy to me and I always get compliments on how beautiful they are from friends but I've been looking at pics on here of other silver Wyandottes that look smaller than mine.. My other hen is a sliver laced Cochin. They are free range chickens but I...

I have two hens, they are the same in coloring except one is shorter, fluffier looking and has feathers on her feet. Here is the first: I think someone told me once that she is a silver laced wyndotte but I'm not sure. Here is the other one: You can sort of see her feet feathers in the...

Are they any good? Should I preform the float test to be sure? I probably will anyway but my worry is that they have been sitting outside in this secret place for who knows how long and so I'm not sure if they are bad just from being out there. She's a sneaky little girl.. I noticed she...
