I just spent a month up in michigan and I left my chickens at home. We just made it home today! I want to surprise them with a good treat. Do you guys have any good treat ideas for me?

Hello! I posted a forum a while ago about Ash's bad behavior, and I'm proud to say that she's better. She'll let me handle her now. Anyway, I was out on a trip for the weekend and I come home and she's acting really broody. I collected all the eggs and she still stays put in the nest. When I get...

Hen Show! Put down your Hen's name, date of birth (or age if you don't know), breed, and a short little story about how you found them, their coopmates, and why you entered them in the contest. IT MUST BE A HEN! (I think roosters have an advantage because they are so handsome...) Contest ends...

Sorry for the bad english. I apparently don't know how to human today. So tomorrow I plan to make my chickens some egg-free pancakes and let them free-range all by themselves. That means I won't be out there. The problem is that there's a lot of big birds flying around my neighborhood and I...

This little chicken is Ash. She looks cute and innocent, right? You just wanna pick her up and cuddle with her. Well if you do that she will peck you so hard that you start bleeding. Every time I try to change the food or water or pick up one of the good hens, she either pecks me so hard that I...

I have a six-month-year-old black sex link hen that is very small. I was looking online at black sex links and I noticed that most of them are bigger than Ash (the black sex link). I would understand that she's young, but her sister who is a golden wyandotte the same age as her is bigger than...

When Ivy was young, she had two other sisters and an amazing brother. They were kind and caring. Sadly, I had to get rid of her brother because of the law. She missed her brother, and she still does. A while after, her sister Kim died from heart failure. She was devistated. We took her and her...

What do you raise your chickens for? I'm just curious to see. If you want to, comment below why you raise them that way.

There have been big birds flying around my yard that look like hawks. They're up really high so I can't tell if it's a hawk or something else. How can I tell a predator from a harmless bird from up in the sky?

Don't get me wrong, but Ivy is the nicest chicken you could ever meet. She likes to cuddle, she will eat out of your hand, and she will follow you around the yard. But we got new chicks, and we built them a new coop right next to Ivy's about 5 months ago. Yesterday, we moved them in with Ivy...

Ivy has always been a good girl, but shes never acted like this. Ivy was pecking at the new hens like they were an all you can eat buffet. Is there any way i can stop her without harming her?

Ivy used to love baths. Until I gave her a mcdonalds stuffed animal, which she carries around everywhere. She carries it around in her beak until she finds food or comes to me. And during bath time, I make her give it to me for bathing. She gets upset and flies out to retrieve her toy. I've...

About two or three weeks ago, I received 4 baby chicks for my birthday. They are two different breeds. They used to snuggle together and forage the little cage. They were only one or two weeks, and now theyre four weeks. Now, the partridge welsummers are separated from the black sex links...

I need help! Ivy pooped on and ruined all her nesting pads and we don't have any more for her. We don't have enough time to go to the store and buy more for her. So, what can I use for a substitute and if I need to how do I put it together?

Poison Ivy had 3 siblings. One was a rooster, and we aren't allowed to keep roosters in our area... We gave him to a better home. One died from heart failure, and while innocent Coconut and Ivy were grazing in our large backyard, a hawk came down and killed her sister. Ivy has been alone in the...

Hey! My baby chicken, Henrietta, got poop all over her butt and forehead, so I decided to wash it off with a washcloth. I wiped the poop off her forehead and her butt and dried her off with a towel. I put her back in the cage with a heat lamp and she started screeching at the top of her little...

Ive had Ivy since the beginning of time. I originally had four, but (in order) One turned out to be a rooster, so we had to give him away because its against the law to have one, one died for an unknown reason and one was decapitated by a hawk. All I had left was Ivy. And Ive gotten so attached...

Ivy drinks water all the time. Of course, this is healthy. I like to treat her as a human child, but before I give her human foods I do research. I wanted to know if chickens could have soda? And what brands can they or cant they have? I think Ivy would really like this sweet treat, but I dont...

I have a family of seven wild ducks who come on my lawn mostly everyday. There are two grown up boys, the mom, and four babies (which are girls). We feed them bird seed and cheez its when they come by, but we notice that the two grown up boys attack the mom and the babies. Their screams say so...
