Back story: I grew up with chickens on my grandma's farm and loved them. When my husband and I bought our first home (2013) it came with an established chicken coop and run, there was much to do on the property and home, so it was the spring of 2015 by the time I began my first (as an adult)...

Hello all, I've had chickens before, but have always lived well outside of town on acreage. We bought a house in town this spring and sold our mini farm and my chickens, our new town didn't allow chickens but is going to change the law effective this year with gender and number stipulations. We...

I've done my research and determined that I've got coryza in my flock. 2 of 16 showing severe eye swelling & bubbling. 2 others wheezing & sneezing. Getting my list together to go to the store & pickup tylan 50. I made a big mistake by purchasing 5 new birds & not keeping them isolated, I...

I free range my chickens, have been for about 2 months. I trained my dogs not to mess with the chickens, they are well behaved farm dogs that obey and listen very well. They are wonderful varmint dogs, with the exception of leaving the property 2-3 times a day when its hot to swim in a...

Hello everyone! I'm looking into beginning a project to meet a local market & create a beautiful chicken for my own flock and for enjoyment. This beautiful bird is a combination of Australorp, Marans & Isbar. The bird in my imagination comes in the BBS variety and lays and olive colored egg...

Yes. My main flock of 30 9-16 week old pullets want to eat me. They peck my legs & fingers (if and when I HAVE to reach down) like they want to take a chunk and gobble it up. It isn't all of them, none of the younger birds (who were not raised by me, until about 6 weeks old) do it. Not all of...

OK, this is probably going to sound silly.. I cannot figure out the difference between Red Sex Links, Production Reds, Cinnamon Queens, Isa Browns, and Golden Comets. I'm not sure if some are nicknames or synonymous to others... Or frankly, which I have... I have tried google, and wickipidia...

Hey everybody! Fairly new to chickens and have quickly become addicted to them, and BYC as well. I have, however, come to notice that there are quite a few meanies lurking around lately. So here it is, a 'MEANY FREE' chicken chat thread. What do we all love more then being asked about or...

My family just got 3 horses from a friend on our first farm. They were all green broke, but then the daughter of the friend moved away (in the air force) and they haven't been messed with since (6 yrs ago). My question is in regards to health treatments and stress. Moving is the most stressful...

Pictured below is a black and gray (blue?) 4 week old chick with yellow feathered legs who is feathering out to be quite interesting. He has 4 toes. In the last 2-3 days he has suddenly sprouted red feathers on his chest, and his earlobes (I'm quite sure they were not red before??) He's got a...

I searched for a couple hours for a similar thread to no avail. Anyone with any suggestions or similar experiences please help. I have 35 chicks. 30 are 4 weeks old and in the "big girl" coop (although if sexing is correct they are 18 pullets and 12 cockerels). They have begun working out their...

I picked up two chicks from TSC's pan fry bin, they are quite cute, and the lighter one is my frendliest chick (out of 36!) Neither should be bantams. I did try to figure it out myself, to no avail. But i know someone out there has had a chick that looks like these, and can answer easily.... :)...
