    An Araucana Bantam Or Just A Mix....

    I picked up this cute little hen plus a bantam RIR rooster. Do araucanas even come in bantam size? Also, any idea what color she might be? In other words, what is she (other than a chicken)? Thanks!

    Andalusian Cock Or Pullet???

    my blue andy had a large comb, but this bird's comb is HUGE, plus the size of the spurs puzzled me. The bird is over 6mths old. I cracked open an egg yesterday that appeared to have a bulls eye spot on the yolk..sort of made me question the sex of this bird...all the birds are supposed to be...

    Andalusian Cock Or Pullet???

    I don't see any hackles or sickle feathers but its comb & waddles sure are big. Has little spurs too. I have not heard any crowing, nor gotten any eggs from this bird. Its missing a few tail feathers 'cause it decided to fly over the fence when two of my dogs were in the backward and, well...

    Woohooo

    None of my hens have laid any eggs since Oct. My SS started laying an egg every other day about 2 weeks ago. Look at what I discovered this afternoon in two different nests!!! I know the greenish-blue eggs are from my bantam EE, and that the larger brown eggs could be from my SS, BR or SLW...

    Did the impossible

    The lice & mites...the bubbly eyes & wheezing did not suddenly pop up due to transport or from a cardboard box. No way; no how. I bet the woman you purchased the hens from is scrambling to treat her birds..if she cares at all. The hens probably had chronic respiratory disease that takes a...

    Sneezing hens, bubbly eye on one of them---help please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I'm sorry you are going through this... I had a bird that did not show signs but was a carrier. He gave it to a couple of new birds I had acquired and it did take time to to get the infected birds over the infection. I knew I could never bring another bird into the flock and had to be...

    Battle ax Hen ? Bully ? egg eater

    My blue andy hen was very bossy...after my rooster died, she took over the coop and even mounted the other hens. She still laid nice white eggs. Andulasians are very smart and very independent. They prefer to free range...mine could not because of where I live so I made my chickpen very...

    Just need to vent......bad,bad neighbors

    I go out of my way to make sure my dogs stay in their yard and do not become a nuisance to the neighbors. Its called 'caring about my dogs' and being a decent neighbor. I ticked off everybody years ago that moved out here and thought they could let their dogs roam freely. Big a b*tch if you...

    Need to complain to someone who will understand (New-PART III, Page 5)

    I learned the lesson the hard way that you cannot give birds to 'someone' that refuses to listen or thinks its ok to let dogs (some dogs) and birds inter-mingle. I do not give birds to the 'someone' anymore....she let her dogs kill every bird. Sorry you had to go through this.....

    Opinions to help chose a breed...Wyandotte, Sussex or Orpington???

    A friend has Orps and they go broody all the time. I have SS and BR and both are friendly, docile birds that lay medium to large brown eggs.

    Are Their Fuzzy Butts Freezing????

    I have one polish mix with a brain...she goes into the coop at might. The rest sit their fuzzy butts on an outside limb in the run. Heaven forbid I should force them into the coop..such language you have never heard!
