Can anyone tell me what breeds these are? These are both hens. To get some idea of the size, the red one is significantly smaller than my RIRs, and the gray one is barely bigger than a pigeon. Thanks!

This may seem like a strange question, but we are having a big problem. Our two RIR hens who are 1 year old have gotten progressively more brave and are no longer afraid of anything, human or animal. They follow us around pecking at us whenever we go in the yard, thinking we have food (or we...

I have two Rhode Island Reds that are 7 months old. They free range in the back yard and have a cage that they can go into and out of freely, where their water is and the lay their eggs. They also sleep in their cage, in the back corner inside of a planter - it's where they chose to sleep the...

My two RIRs love plain yogurt, and I especially like to give it to them now that it is so hot outside. If you feed your chickens yogurt, how often do you give it to them? I don't want to give them too much (if that is possible).

My RIR laid her first egg at 7am yesterday. When she did it, she made the "bok, bgok" noise for the first time also. Today, she made the noise around 7:40am, and again at 9am (nonstop). When I went out to check for an egg, I found her sitting on the fake egg that I replaced yesterday's with...

We got our first egg today (yay!) from Lala, one of our RIR hens (she's about 21 weeks old). Chester, the other hen (yes, she's female), seems to be about a week younger than Lala and hasn't laid an egg yet. The strange thing is when Lala was laying her egg, she was making a lot of noise, so I...

Our chickens are free range in our back yard, and for some reason they love to hang out right by the sliding glass door. I don't mind, except they poop all over the doormat where we wipe our feet! Obviously, going to wipe dirt off of your shoes and getting poop on them instead is no fun. So...

So, this is a weird one. Recently, we noticed that when our Greyhound squats to pee, our 2 chickens run/fly toward her like she is the fountain of youth. Her pee settles into the dirt, but they make sure to drink some before it does. Anyone know if this is something I should be concerned about?

We have a 3.5 pound Miniature Pinscher, Kiwi, who is obsessed with our chickens, and we are trying desperately to calm her down around them. We let the chickens (we have 2) roam the backyard freely, and haven't been letting Kiwi out when the chickens are out, but obviously this is not a good...

I am a fairly new backyard chicken owner (and loving these forums!) and have two Rhode Island Reds who are about 8-9 weeks old. They have a coop that I keep them in at night and they roam the yard freely in the daytime. They have been starting to fly higher and higher, and today I saw one of...
