Hey fellow Washington peeps!
I'm looking to expand my very small flock of two, as we are building a new larger coop. Due to some circumstances, I can't get any more chickies until late April-early June, but I'm looking for silkie and cochin chicks. I don't care about show quality/laying, I just...
The Story of An Unlikely Crazy Chicken Lady
Most of my earlist memories are set in two locations- my daycare, a place called Country Friends, where we were encouraged to grow and learn how to care for nature (I saw my first chicks hatch in their small incubator, small and cute, at age 4- a...
The hen is a Barred Rock. She has been like this for about 2 days, and has been through two epsom salt bath treatments. She has been favoring the other foot, only setting down the injured one when completely nessesary. If anyone knows what is causing this and how to treat it, I would be forever...
Just like the title suggests... if the pic above embedded proporly then I just need clarification... is this a early stage of bumblefoot? This foot belongs to my sweet buff orpington about a year old. She and her other americana friend love to jump up and down our lawn chairs, where they land on...

Now currently living in a 2 chicken house-had to get rid of my little austrolorp cockerel once he started crowing...:( And now I'm nervous about my favorite little hen Buffy the Buff Orpington (I know, such an original name) Chickens love shiny things- so when she was sitting on my shoulder, she...
Hi guys,
My favorite pullet (about 8 weeks old) Buffy was sitting on my shoulder when suddenly, she pulled out my earring and swallowed it. Is there anything that I can do to get it out? Any danger signs that it has gotten stuck or tore something in the digestive track? I can't lose her... Help...
I have three chickens about 6 to 7 weeks old- an austrolorp, buff orpington, and an EE.The austrolorp chick gave something like a really loud squawk or a crow. They were *supposed* to be sexed pullets, but the austrolorp certainly looks the part of a rooster (combs and wattles significantly...
