I’ve had this girl for 2 years and I went to check on her and she is not doing well. My 2 year old male also passed away today.
She keeps getting extremely cold and feels like she hasn’t eaten for a while. She’s super weak but still alive. I don’t have any electrolytes unfortunately. I really...
My horse always tries to eat the Queen palm fronds whenever she gets the chance. She has the proper amount of grass, hay and grains but really likes the fronds. Are they okay for her to eat?
I did post this on BYH but got no response.
I was looking at the OEGBS on cackle hatcheries website and they seemed pretty nice quality, especially the whites who maybe just needed some work on their tail. I was wondering how close they are to the SOP and/or how hard it would be to breed them to the SOP.
If you have pics of your OEGBs...
I thought it would be fun to dedicate songs to our chickens. I heard a song that I haven’t heard in a while but it made me think of my chicken. I will start, I dedicate the song Love Someone to my boy Attack.
I’ve heard so many different answers to this question. I’ve seen some say 18 weeks, I’ve seen some say 6 to 8 months, and I’ve seen some say a year. So what age do you dub?
EDIT: This thread was gonna be about photos, but it changed.
Now it’s a more serious thread. You have to pick a side. Choose carefully because once you pick a side your stuck with it for the rest of your life.
Cochins Vs Orpingtons
So I know that all say Cochins are the best. Besides only one special (That’s not meant as a compliment) person on here. But I was thinking, gamefowl are just a little better than Cochins. Sorry to the cochin group, but I believe games are better. @HappyClucker7 @Overo Mare @black_cat...
I got this beautiful and unique feather today from my BR. She’s a poor quality barred rock because of her black feathers. I do like her very defined barring though. This feather I got is from her. @NatJ what do you think of this, is there any way I could breed more that have more feathers like...
I just love to mix my chickens to make beautiful mutts. Definitely share any of your mutts too. I have black ameraucana x cuckoo maran which made a beautiful girl. She has a rounded tail, almost like a hatchery cochin. I also made a bird which is growing fast and he’s meaty, somehow I got LO...
Since everyone loved The Angriest chicken thread, I’m gonna make a Goofiest chicken thread. It ends on December 15, a month from today.
Add their name, age, and breed.
This is for the funniest pics of your chickens. You may add as many pics as you want.
I hope that everybody enjoys the thread...
This is a thread for anybody who has or likes skulls. I’ve seen some skulls with some beautiful decorations or some that are just beautiful in general. If you have any, definitely share. I have 3 that I found buried in tall grass in my neighbors pasture. I’m hoping to one day hunt and earn my...
My LO had a super red comb about a week ago, it did get a little colder but I live in FL so it’s not that cold. What happened to it? It’s only like 70 degrees at the lowest, maybe high 60s.
This is it a week ago:
This is it now it’s also bent:
This is my neighbors dog, she stays at my house because she’s afraid of her owners and because of my young age I can’t call anyone on them. She’s pregnant (and they say she isn’t. But she’s growing and growing so I’m just wondering when you think she’ll give birth. She’s found and her babies...
So I bred my blue ameraucana to a BJG. One chick came out like this and it’s black.
So is this one blue or something? It has the same mother and father. Here’s it next to the black chick (same parents)
So I am going to try to hatch grocery store eggs. I thought it would be a fun project. I am going to try hatching “Happy Egg” eggs. I saw that someone else had success in hatching their eggs so why not try it myself. They have Marans (I believe BCM) and i believe lohmann browns and what they...

I see many people wondering how to tame aggressive roosters. Roosters have a bad reputation even though they are actually really sweet. They just get hormonal at a certain age, and some are worse than others. Different things work for different Roos so you’ll have to see what works.
Option 1...
