Sadly we lost Red (Styrian) a few days after Christmas (probably to a common buzzard) so I bought home 6 pullets. They're now 7 weeks old. Hopefully there won't be any problems introducing them to the older hens in a couple of months. @ 3 weeks @ 6 weeks An older photo - Styrian hens...

Thank you everyone! donrae - the roos and hens have been kept and breed in strains/lines for a few decades now, no outside animals were added. They mix certain strains to produce commercial sex-linked chicks (and one non-sex linked, sexed by Japanese method). They only keep pure strains on...

This is one of my 3 Barred PR (roo) and RIR cross hens. They're all 6 weeks old. I have no idea what color they're supposed to be when they grow up. The darkest chick @ 3 weeks And now @ 6 weeks

3 new photos of my little flock. Styrians have finished molting and one is already lying eggs. The prettiest hen around Silvi Not bald anymore!

I actually use a plastic ladle (almost identical to this http://www.colourbox.com/preview/1478128-583103-black-plastic-soup-ladle-isolated-on-white.jpg). It's great since I can use it by holding the handle (more distance between me and the hen) or by holding it below (almost like eating off my...

When they were still on the farm we worked on the floor inside the barn. We were separated from other chickens by a wire and carton barrier (the could not see each other but they could hear us and us them). With more motivated and curious chickens it didn't take long for them to adapt and...

I have all our training sessions on videos but the quality is rather bad (filmed inside the barn in a small space with lots of chicken noise in the background). Here's one of Črči working with different colored balance pods (she was still learning here)...

I'm clicker training my chickens. :) I also clicker train some farm animals @ the local ZOO (for regional breed presentations), including chickens so that's @ minimum 6 chickens I regularly train. With ZOO chickens we work most on handling and going to selected places and staying there for a...

For my thesis research I worked with several chicken breeds (3 individuals per breed, I began with 5 but it took too much of my time!). The chickens I worked with were picked randomly out of a flock at the beginning and tagged with their own band (I worked with them at a selection farm for...

Thank you! :) This is Črči, showing off her skills during my thesis research (she had 4 balance pods in 3 colors, red, blue and 2 yellow and she had to pick one yellow, step on it and then step on the other yellow without stepping down or on the other 2 colors).

I got my first 3 chickens in mid June this year. :) I'm writting a thesis about learning abilities of slovenian chicken breeds and this 3 ladies were some of the chickens I worked with. They used to live inside a barn but now they've became backyard chickens. It took them a few days to get used...
