I have a 3 month old Speckled Sussex. Snow started acting like she was having seizures about 3 weeks ago. I took her to the vet after carrying her everywhere and sleeping with her on my chest for 3 days. Dr watched her and said that though she had never seen it before, it wasn’t seizures she was...

I was given a fertile Silkie egg which hatched into a beautiful white baby. I believe she has begun to lay as she’s the only one left to do so. Twice in the run over the last two days. It’s green! Olive egger in her background? How does that work?

Hello, I am new to keeping a rooster and want to have good advice before I allow my girls to try and raise chicks. I purchased two Giant Cochins from the local feed store and one of them turned out to be a cockerel. Is it considered in-breeding to allow him and the pullet who came from the same...

My beautiful Blue Cochin looks like she's turning into a Roo. What do you think? I am so sad, she/he is my most cuddlie baby. She/He thinks it should be a house chicken. I really didn't want any roos but I love it so much!:(

So here is my story... Awhile back I saw a t-shirt on Pinterest that I really liked and decided to buy. While I was on the page I saw another t-shirt that said,"These premises patrolled by a crazy chicken lady" I really liked the graphics they used but not so much the words. I had an idea that...
