Turned out fine. One of them was the alpha so she seemed rooster-like. I had to wait about six months to find out for sure. Good luck!

Thanks so much. I'm a newbie so I have to ask about everything.

I'm in San Diego and we are just coming out of nine horrible fires over three days. My two chickens had to endure the worst heat and now there is mild ash n the air. The air is cooler now but they are still breathing with their beaks open. It's night and one of them is sitting at the door of...

Great advice. Thanks so much.

They are in a sizzle coop. I fed them some meal worms, sunflower seeds, corn, scratch. Thanks so much!

I have two year old buf orpingtons. I think I overused the treats :(. They are refuding their layers feed and when I fill up the feeder, they kick it and empty the feed onto the ground of the coop. There's a ton of it on the ground. I just removed the feeder and feel they can peck off the...

Thanks so much. I appreciate your experience. I'm new at this and have just the two. Take care.

I have a 9 months old buff orpington. The other one lays eggs every day. This one has started laying every other day and sometimes waits till 4:30 in the afternoon to lay. Any thoughts about this? Thanks so much!

Thanks so much. Those are great ideas.

We have two 9 month old buff orpingtons. We were told if one of them dies, we can't add a new pullet as the existing hen will kill it. Does anyone have any thoughts about this? We aren't planning on losing either of them, but just in case, I thought I would ask. Thanks always for your...

Thanks again. I think it might be pressure from the other hen as she is definitely the lead between the two. I'll keep watching.

Thank you. Should I be concerned or will she work her way out of it?

I have a 7 month old buff orpington hen. She seems to have just started laying. Each time she gets ready, she goes to the nest and will peck and circle, then pant heavily. The other hen stays downstairs in the coop and hollers loudly. When she finally lays the egg, she continues breathing...

I'm sure you have done this but I'm putting out cabbage heads on a screw bolt hung from a string. They stay so interested and busy pecking at it. Good luck and I hope spring comes early for you.

Thanks so much.

I have two 7-month old buf orpington hens. Twice after cleaning the coop, they pulled out all the straw from their nesting boxes and pulled up the roosting bars. They seem to always be in good spirits but I was wondering if this is a behavior I should be concerned about. Also, when I pet one...

Question: I was going to tie up and apple for the girls. Do they have to be a certain age? The girls are three months old ( buff orpington). Thanks!

Thanks so much. We will wait to see :)

We believe so. We got both of them at 6 weeks and that was 6 weeks ago.
