    He's a "long tailed mix". Looks to me like a cross between a black breasted red game and some long tail, like Onagadori or Phoenix. But his personality is pure lap chicken. He's never been aggressive and is content to just lie around all day, even if on my lap. Ornamental long tails in Asia have...

    Mohawk chick

    It's a little too early to be certain about the sex, but you've got some gorgeous birds there! I especially like the one that is mostly black with a white front. There are breeds that can have a narrow crest, like Sultan, Appenzeller Spitzhauben, etc., but because your crested ones are...

    Anyone see anything wrong with this picture?

    Nope. Nothing at all wrong here. (Spoken by the lady who watches tv with a pile of kitties & roosters sleeping on her lap together.)

    Wet/damp chicken

    Just wet mid-back? Is another chicken drooling on her?

    Wet/damp chicken

    Hmmm. Is there an open water bowl she's getting into? Has she been feeling well? Vomiting? Do you have other birds?

    Wet/damp chicken

    The amount of steam that can come off chickens at night if they are closed in is considerable. Is your coop vented at night? I would blow dry before putting her back in a slightly vented coop. It takes a loooong time if they're really wet. Fluff the feathers with your hand as you're drying to...

    What to do with hens for hurricane?

    We always just brought them in the house in whatever cages or very large cardboard boxes we had. We laid plastic down on the floor and put the cages on top of that, in the living room. Newspapers changed often for the droppings. If your bathtub has a shower door you could keep them in there...

    The name "Fizzle" popped in my head when I saw the photos. No idea why.

    Which color should I get?(Duck color)

    I'm biased because I had a black runner as a pet and he was a hoot! His name was Runner. He never ceased to entertain with his silly antics. And his color was pretty. When he got old he grew some white feathers on his chest (gray hair!) in the shape of a "V," which was cool. I'd also go with a...

    What is Your Favorite Word to Describe Your Flock?

    If I'm being silly, I'll whisper, "the cheeeeek-ins," in a sinister cartoon voice. In addition to my roos, my flock consists of all the other birds I have, including parrots, canaries, budgies, etc. Sometimes I call them "the boids," or "the bird bodies." I probably have a hundred nicknames...

    What is Your Favorite Word to Describe Your Flock?

    I have just the two roos at the moment. They're indoor chickens because we're not allowed to have them outdoors, and my son & I joked that if anyone hears them & asks about it, we could say they're "Sumatran Pheasants." ;) We also joke by referring to them as the "unspeakables." I sometimes...

    Is this ordinance unfair? I need advice!

    One place I lived had a no livestock County zoning rule, but I had a large wooded lot bounded on 3 sides by un-buildable property. I wrote a letter to the County zoning board and made the case that if I had chickens and kept them on the far side of the lot from the only neighbor, they wouldn't...
