I have one very aggressive hen who only likes one other hen. So we have had two small coops with two hens in them. Well one of our hens was stolen. The coop was locked and the cover over the part that can be lifted up was in the exact same spot that it was when I fed them . I don't know what to...
These ladies are chic. I am rasing 4 Easter Eggers. They are good egg layers. Stripes and Monique. Stripes is the one with more black on her head.

Was told repeatedly at Farm & Home that this was a female. She should lay nice brown eggs too. I don't think this chicken will be laying eggs ever. He's a rooster. We can't have roosters in town. I was told to try a collar to keep him from crowing, but I still have another chicken who seems to...
My friend says she thinks these might not be and said they looked like a cockerel.
I took the picture last night when I fed them before bed. First I'm sure they will be insulted they were called girls. I always tell all of them, girls you need to be quiet or girls leave each other alone. The...
My friend raises chickens and said I should raise some too. I told her I need to know what kinds of chickens I should get. She likes Bantams. She said I should try raising some. Any other suggestions?
