Sadly, my little hobble cripple chicken does not seem to be getting any better, and I'm feeling quite bad for it. I'm also squeamish as heck and cannot manage to off it myself. Does anyone know of a reasonably priced vet in Northern Virginia or Southern Maryland that might be able to take care...

We put hobbles on our little crooked one and it's not particularly happy (I don't imagine it would be) though is eating and drinking. I sort of fear it being pecked to death overnight though - those of you who have chicks, would you leave it in with the others or try to make it it's own box? I...

Lbrad, is that because the males are a little more upright, as a friend described it? The tail feathers are a little different on some. Thank you!

Bumping this up - anyone?

I acquired a recent bunch of two week old Marans. The internet seems to indicate that I need people more skilled than me to tell me if they are boys or girls.

I recently got a box of two-week old chickens from a poultry auction, sight unseen. While they all appear perky and happy, one seems to have a twisted leg. We googled perosis and it looks a little like that, it looks a little less like the REALLYSUPERAWFUL slipped tendon pictures and more just...

Bumping this up

She's made her own nests in the hay in my feed/hay storage room. She's got three of them at the moment. Someone accidentally walked in on her laying one. Said it was like walking in on someone in the bathroom... they're definitely fresh, I just don't know if this...

Can we eat them? Mrs. Kravitz, the judgy feral chicken plucked from her suburban bus station habitat and set loose upon the grounds of our farm, has begun laying eggs in the barn. Mostly she's free range around here but has spent the last couple months munching (among other things) some...

But we're fairly sure she's a hen, right? Because she keeps crowing in between little tweety noises. Go figure the feral chicken is a bit of a cross-dresser...

Anyone have any idea?

Crunchie, if you change your mind and decide you want to sell off a weird looking hen or two, please let me know. I definitely can't take a roo though, unfortunately, as much as I would like it, I think a few others on my farm would quite protest. We saw this one at the Pennsylvania Farm...

Thanks! Do these help? I'm quite hoping it's a hen since we've already named it Mrs. Kravitz.

My chicken needs a friend. Not terribly picky on the breed, but would prefer something that makes me laugh and that lays eggs. Absolutely no boy chickens. A double plus if it looks like Phyllis Diller.

Please bear with me as I'm new to ALL of this... but I'm trying to figure out if this young chicken is a boy or a girl, and what sort it may be.
