Hey everyone -
I’ve had my Golden Buffs for around 2 years now, and I only just noticed this. Some of the Golden Buffs are a darker shade of orange, whereas the others seem to be a lighter shade. For example, here’s Cyberdemon, who has a darker shade of orange
And, on the other side of the...
Has anyone every kept Fayoumis? If so, how do you like them?
My dear Fayoumi hen, Rex, is easily one of the most interesting birds i've ever kept. She's smaller than everyone else in the coop but, surprisingly, is rarely picked on. She's rather skittish, so she's not too fond of us holding her...
My hens don't like going outside (it's currently snowing where I live), and seem rather bored inside their coop, even when they are allowed to go outside they don't. To make matters worse, one of our poor wyandottes was pecked to the point of blood release (I don't know if that's boredom or...

Hello there -
I was in Utah a few months ago (it only occurred to me to post this now, sorry) at the This is The Place heritage park. Of course I eagerly spent my rime hanging out with the goats, sheep, pigs and chickens. I came across one chicken, however, that baffled me. I've never seen a...
