    Are These Buff Orpington Chicks? (1-2 Weeks)

    I had an EE who looked like your mystery chick. Very cute!

    is this molting?? something else?? I need help please...

    Regarding the dust, not sure if its the same, but I had a parrot for a while and when her new feathers came in, the sheath the new feathers were cased in would break open and it created a tremendous amount of dust.

    Leghorn Cockerel?

    Any conclusions because I'm having the same dilemma with one who looks very similar!

    3 yr old Welsummer hen with dirty butt, hasn't layed in a couple of months, seems to be waddling.

    I'm so sorry for your loss. Did you ever figure out what made her sick because my Lefty (2 year old leghorn) is exhibiting the same symptoms. I never would have believed how attached we can become to them!

    I'm so confused!!!

    Ok, so I currently have 3 two-year-old hens (2 EEs & 1 Leghorn - had 2 of each, but the serial killer raccoon got one.) My coop is 4x4 with an attached run. When I first got the chickies, I was scared to let them out of the run, but my nerves have gotten much better about it! Now, they're...

    Let's hear it for Coop Knox!

    How far does the skirting stick out from the run? I've seen a fox circling our coop/run for the past 3 mornings. I'm too afraid to let the chickies out before going to work and now they're being held hostage until someone comes home to let them out! I hate this.

    Plants/Garden ideas for around coop...

    someone suggested mint - careful, it spreads very quickly too and I find it's hard to contain.

    Post your FIRST EGG pics!

    First egg (ever!) today! Must be from one of the leghorns, as it is white. They are exactly 16 weeks old! This really IS fun!

    Do These Chickens Look Close To Laying Eggs *UPDATED WITH MORE PICS*

    when you say "singing" is it like a long croaky groanish sound? I don't know how else to describe it.

    Six out of Six? Could I be that lucky? Is my White Leghorn a Girl?

    This thread has been a HUGE relief! I have 2 15 week old leghorns that look exactly like Foggy who have been making a weird, pretty quiet, muffled crow-ish sound? I was so afraid they were boys and it was an immature real crow. This is my first time with chickens, so any sound other than...

    Should I "free range" 5week old chicks?

    Verlaj - I did EXACTLY the same thing! Broomstick and all - LOL! but I found they seemed to liked a yardstick better. And what you said about them slipping through the wires - true! At one point, my 4 week olds were in the dog crate and the little ones were in a washtub with a light. My son...

    Tacky coop & run contest ****Update: It's time to vote!!!!!***

    I'm beginning to think zip ties are taking the lead from duct tape when it comes to "Hillbilly Chic!" I love the whiskery effect. That washing machine (or dryer?) Has to be my favorite so far! LOL

    My coop is going to end up in a divorce!

    Wow, you guys really are great! Thanks for sharing. He's a little happier today, except that he had to go back to the depot for more pvc connectors for the run. It occurred to me that at least part of the reason it must be so meticulous is that when his contractor friends see it, it must pass...

    My coop is going to end up in a divorce!

    Ok, so he doesn't share my "reuse it" gene because he is a professional contractor who says that if you don't build it out of solid material it will fall apart and he'll have to rebuild it again later. $600 later I'm getting an earfull of "stuff"!!! I'm trying to stay calm and zen like but I...

    Deep Litter.... Maybe A Dumb Question.....?

    About what to put in the compost heap - just remember: If it grows, it will decompose (and no meat or dairy)
