    What is your favorite breed?

    My Black Copper Maran, and I have 5 breeds. She is quite the little spunky girl. I ordered a full size, but she only weighs 3 pounds and gives me large eggs almost daily. Every time I am outside, she I close by giving me the squat.

    Help! New neighbor suddenly hates chickens!

    After you have your chickens securely staying in your yard, politely ask her to stop throwing her garbage in your yard, and if she persists,take a shovel and throw it back in her yard.

    Try clipping their wings of the offenders so the don't fly up in the trees and over the fence.

    Limping hen Stella

    Not a huge difference. The one that is hurting her, right side, is not swollen. No obvious damage to either foot.

    Limping hen Stella

    My beautiful Stella started limping yesterday. She stand on her left foot. Upon inspection there appears to be nothing wrong with either foot, but the left leg is larger, I guess because she uses it more. Any suggestions? She is the top bird of 8.

    Wild Wyandottes! What should I do?

    I have enjoyed this post. I have a Copper laced Wyandotte, and those look to be about 16 weeks old. The one with a single comb look like a mix.

    Feeding worms

    I was working in the yard and digging up quite a few worms. My hens are in a coop, so I decided to give them a treat. Is this bad? There seems to be a lot of watery poo going on today.

    Automatic watering system

    My System: 30 gallons. My chickens prefer the cups, but I did not want a large pipe. This is how it ended up. Make sure to use a Tap & Die for the holes along with plumbing tape. Makes things a lot easier.

    Water bottle

    I crocheted a cover for this water bottle, put a poultry nipple in the cap, and in order for it to operate you have to drill a small hole in the bottom of the bottle. Hang on a hook, and they are enjoying it.

    My chickens don't know to come in from the weather

    Thank you all for your input. Tonight they all went in on their own. I put a brighter light, added the concrete block, and today I added cleats that they were practicing on this afternoon. Yesterday they got quite cold and were happy when I put them inside even though I had to chase them down...

    I was surprised to find a rooster in my brood of ladies...

    So the black polish was not a rooster. What a hoot. My daughter just loved him/her. Is that a full-sized bird? I have 8 that are 8-weeks old today. I am pretty sure one Easter Egger is a rooster. He is so sweet, but the smallest of the bunch. The problem is I can't keep a rooster in my...

    My chickens don't know to come in from the weather

    Thank you. I hope so, as I hate chasing them down. They will get on the roost at night, and then it is much easier to put them inside.
