So I don't know if this is where to post this, but it is a chick and it doesn't fit squarely into any other category. I found a baby bird on my patio. It's not a chicken, I'm not sure what sort it is. It probably fell from the broken light that birds have tried to make nests for in the past...

I posted another thread in here about antiques but this one is more specifically about dolls. Are these two dolls worth anything? They appear to be from the same manufacturer and the same set. They say on their tags The Wonderful World of Effanbee Dolls. One is still in the box, the other is out...

I doubt anyone on here knows anything about antiques but this is one of the only forms I'm a member to and the antique forums I found were generally un-active so I'm posting it here in hobbies since antiques is a hobby. If anyone knows anything that would be helpful. I'm hoping to find out if...

My mother's bantams are now laying eggs, at least 2 or three of them are lol, and we're wondering a few things. First of all, can you tell if eggs that have not been set on are viable by candling? She would like to keep the ones in the coop that are viable, and eat the others, but I don't know...

My mother has this plant growing next to her house where she's planted other things. She got it from my sister who got it from her school, (I think it was only seeds or a bulb when she got it). She didn't know exactly what it was...she thought it was a squash plant. However, the first produce...

We got some new Bantam grow-out chicks (for a multitude of reasons I suppose), but having trouble with the flock accepting them. There's only three of them, 2 hens and one rooster. Thinking it was a mistake to get the roo, as it's making this process harder, but they wouldn't sell me the one hen...

My mother just got three more bantams to replace the three in her flock that were lost, (not recently, all 9 chickens in my breed/Sebright post are still alive). Specifically we were looking for ones small enough to hang out with Chip, who is smaller than the rest and was friends with a hen his...

I have a thread that's got only 2 responses and hasn't had any since yesterday. How can you draw attention to your threads? Are there rules about that sort of thing? Also, I followed some people on here and want to be notified whenever they make a new thread. Is this possible? Does it happen...

My mom got bantam chickens a few months ago, and we're hoping to hatch some eggs of ours this time, (she had some normal-sized chickens before, but that was one thing we never attempted). They haven't started laying yet, and we would like to know the timeframe of them doing so and how broody...

When researching Golden Comets to see what their roosters look like I found some information that confused me. I had been told/thought that Golden Comets were crossbreeds between Rhode Island Reds and White Leghorns. However, when I looked them up today some websites said they were crosses...

Hi, I need some information about how wheat will look at different stages of growth. I figured gardening would be the best place for this discussion. I need some sort of time-frame to go with it, (all the things I was able to look up online had no week/month estimates), like so-and-so weeks...

I'm writing a fiction book with chickens in it. Can't tell you much, but I'm developing a list of chicken names. I need to replace some names as well. Any names would be helpful. Also you can list what sort of chicken the name would best be suited for, and what gender the name could be used for. :)

Trying to name a character in a book.

A home has been found for my two hens,(one Americana, one commet). The person who has taken them has one lonely rooster. I know that roosters can over-breed hens, (i.e breed them so much their feathers on back, head, and neck can come off). Then rooster could possibly break skin if he continues...

Hi, I'm a chicken lover and I also love birds in general. I've always been fascinated by birds, (especially chickens), and I still don't know why. I have two chickens who live in a different place than I, (complicated things I won't go into here), and they likely will be re-homed soon. They are...
