I have a 2 year old Cinnamon Queen who has just been sitting around the past couple of days. She is normally at the top of the pecking order and almost always is one of the first out the door in the morning, first to greet me at the gate, last to go in the house at night, etc. But recently she...

I have gotten an egg a day from each of my two white leghorns almost every day for the past week and it has been snowing and well below freezing. I'm getting 7-10 eggs a day total from my 26 birds. The white leghorns I know for sure are laying since they're the only ones I have that lay white...

I know who she is, and I've got her locked up by herself. But how do I get her to quit eating her own eggs?

I have 2 cats and they have never given my birds any trouble. I think my dominant hen, Rosie, could take care of any cat... she gets up in my dog's face (45 pound Border Collie who could eat Rosie for supper if she wanted).

Why get rid of your ROO'S if you love them soooooo much?? JUST GET MORE HENS!!!!

I have several chickens who just go in and out of the chicken yard as they please. There is not much danger from predators in the daytime at least, but I'm tired of having to catch them and they do get into the neighbor's yard quite a bit. We have a 5 foot fence but for the white leghorns and...

I'm ready for it to cool down a little... notice I said a little. 70 would be nice. I'm not allowed to use the oven even in the evening now... I bake bread once a week at least, but not right now! BUT fall means school. Yuck.

My mom grew up on a farm and her mom raised all their own chicken. Mom hadn't eaten home grown yard bird in probably 25 years though. BUT last week we butchered our own chickens for the first time and she was going on about how she had forgotten what real chicken tasted like. So we have...

I've never noticed any coops... until the day I saw a PEACOCK WALKING DOWN THE ROAD! It turned out that he lived in a chicken coop that I had never noticed before, until then, even though I drove past it every day. We live about a mile outside the city limits - rule is 3 hens and no roosters...

I agree that these particular kids were rude... but you shouldn't sterotype all kids like that just because of them. Adults probably said the same thing when you were a kid.

I ordered 25 chicks, they sent me an extra but one died during shipping and another within a day of their arrival. and then 2 weeks ago (16 weeks) one dropped dead. Literally. About two hours between the time I noticed it was sick and the time it died. None of the other birds got sick. also...

I named a rooster Colonel Sanders... my friends think I'm diabolical.

My chickens don't really care... but my dog is about to die

Quote: There are a few horses that live down the street from us. When my cousins came to visit in the fall we picked apples from the trees across the road and took them to the horses. When my cousin came back in early March she suggested that we go feed the horses. I told her that we...

Wait, they can actually send chicks in the mail? At lunch one day, I'm eating a brown boiled egg. One of my friends says "did that come from your chickens?" no, my cat lays eggs. I'm really looking forward to when my ameracaunas start laying so I can hear "why do you have an easter egg in...

I had 9 cuckoos last spring and the males are much, much lighter... you can tell them apart as soon as they have a good amount of feathers. So I would agree with 2 roos, 1 hen.

looks a lot like a dark cornish.

She's a really bad broody then... sometimes I do have to take her off the nest box but not every day and she doesn't get back in there.

I have a one year old Cuckoo Maran (named Eudora), and I think she's lost her mind. First she developed her own special 'Eudora screech' that sounded different from all the other chickens. Now, whenever the other hens get too close to her she puffs herself up (she kind of looks like a...
