Hello I was wondering if anyone could identify the breed of my chicken. I had assumed she was a Wyandotte, now I am questioning. I was wondering about the grey one too?

Sorry I did not reply. She died the same day. My husband found her and buried her before I got back home.

Good morning, I have a hen that does not appear to be feeling well. She is eating and drinking, but moving very slowly and appears to have a crusty behind. I took a couple pictures of stools from her and was wondering if what you guys thought. Do they look normal? They had lots of bubbles.

Well I have some interesting news. I have had to keep the girls locked up in the run for the last several of weeks. No Free Range at all, do to an unrelated predated issue that still has not been resolved. And well I have not had a thin shelled egg in two weeks now. Her eggs have steadily...

I am sorry for double posting. I didn't even think about it. I am concerned that there is something more wrong with her, that could be causing all of the issues. Her feet look fine, I see no issues there. I will look for supplements to try and give to just her, not going to be a easy task, she...

I have always had free choice oyster shell and have fed a premium layer feed with enriched calcium. Is there a way to do more? She is the only one with a shell issue.

Is there some kind of calcium I can give her without giving it to the rest of the girls? They are all laying fine and I would hate to overdose them.

19 weeks and Edna is doing great. And look what I found today! Here she is and her surprise!

This is one of my Silver laced Wynadottes, Laverne. Does she look fat? You can see she looks and is built completely different than my other SLW, Shirley. She is much heavier and broader built. She also has a few issues that I am concerned that maybe caused by being too heavy. I have had an...

Hello, Iowa! I am looking for a Easter Egger pullet just about to or just started laying. I bought two this spring and lost one to a tragedy. I love this little girl she is about 19 weeks and would love to have another. I am located in central Iowa. Please let me know if you have one you could...

I just looked them up and you maybe right. Yay! I do like him and he seems to be settling with the hens really well. So as long as he does not become aggressive and time goes by. We are good.

I picked up a new rooster this morning. Let's hope he settles things. Once he is added to the flock. Girls are already curious and have been leaving Edna alone this morning. So that is a good thing. Chickens can be so mean. Here is a picture of the new roo, GW McLintock, Do you think he is...

My baby slept on the top roost last night! She is settling way faster than I dared to hope!

Thank you all for your posts. They are so helpful. I hope things get better for my little Edna soon. It breaks my heart every time I go out there. She tries so hard to come with me. Mrs K your free-range rules make a lot sense. It is close to what we have been trying to follow, but will get...

Oh I would to love to find that rooster! I have walked pasture out there over and over and I can not even find any sign of his feathers. I have searched the old trees out there looking for possible dens. I haven't found anything. I will setup the trail cam today. I have heard trapping a fox can...

Thank you for your replies. I really hope things settle down for her soon. Do you think I should let things settle for her before I add another rooster? I do miss the crowing. But I don't want to make life worse on her. I feel pretty confident in our coop and run enclosure. We have never had...

We have had an influx of predators since spring. This is the first time we have had any issue in over two years of having chickens here. We have removed 8 raccoons and a possum in just a couple of weeks. We have been very careful making sure to only free range in the middle of the day and making...

Week 16 has been very rough for us. We have had an influx of predators since spring. This is the first time we have had any issue in over two years of having chickens here. We have removed 8 raccoons and a possum in just a couple of weeks. We have been very careful making sure to only free range...

Wow they are very close in color. I guess I don't know much about leghorns, but I had no idea they had that color. I guess because of foghorn leghorn, I assumed they were all white! :) . Chicken breeds are just amazing to me.

WEEK 15, I wanted to show their colors. And they are just starting to turn pink\red in the comb.
