Hello, my flock has a chicken that we don't know if it is waterbelly or eggbound. My question is, is that do chickens lay while having waterbelly? thanks. Also, I know my grammar isn't exactly up to par on those sentences, I'm just in a rush.

In Two of my chickens, Kentucky and Aretha, they seem to always make the brooding sound, even when they're not broody. Kentucky has been one of our most broody birds, so she may have become accustomed to that sound, but Aretha has never been broody. When I try to pet or pick Aretha up she makes...

So, I live in the Bay Area, and there had been a fire in Napa Valley. The smoke from Napa has came all the way to where I live (Antioch) And I'm wondering if I need to do something. The smoke looks like fog, but isn't.

So I was just bored and I decided to make a game using my knowledge. Here is how the game works, so you start off with a word ex. Chicken. then you have to keep naming thing related to the word like ex. Chicken -> Bird, and have to keep going on, at least 12 times until you get back to the...

I just head about the Las Vegas shooting today at the Mandalay Bay hotel. May those who died rest in peace. If you were a victim, please tell us about the experience.

I have this barn owl in my backyard for as long as I could remember, looking at my chickens. The only "Attacking" pose I saw the owl do is when a squirrel went close to it. My chickens are 14 weeks and 3 days old. I need to know, for my chickens' safety. If they do attack chickens, I'll have to...
