I love Cochins, all types of Cochins. So everyone let's post pictures of our Cochins, age, name, and what category they win in your hearts. Just for fun. Every fluffy butt chicken is a winner. I'll post a couple pictures of my hen and deceased frizzled bantam. I'll grab pictures of my new...

Originally I had brought back a chicken from the fair and she seemed fine. A few days later she was floppy and could hardly walk and later, she kept falling over and wasn't able to get up. Now, two weeks later she's fine again. However, I have two other birds now that are sick, they seem to...

I just wanted to share this cute picture of my brother and his Mille Fleur d'Uccle chick. The little girl absolutely loves him! I can't quite remember how old the chick is, a month or two? He'll probably want to post more pictures of her once he sees that I made this post! Please excuse the...

My hen Beatrice (Buff Brahma, about a year and a half old) came back from the local fair and she seemed perfectly normal until a few days later. I noticed she wasn't running around the yard as fast as usual, and she didn't seem to have any interest in her daily activities. Just after I noticed...

So, four dead chicks later I finally have some luck. At least for now, though I have a good feeling about it this time. Our hatchery EE didn't do so good as a broody, though I can't blame it all on her. I was in the coop yesterday and found one of the dead chicks and proceeded to remove it...

So, I've had a chicken sitting on eggs for awhile... Though, frankly I didn't expect anything to come from in it, but I did hope! I checked in the coop today, and so far there was actually one hatched little baby, still wet and drying. A little black poof ball, I hope it will be okay, I...

I have a broody hen who decided to jam herself in the hay storage area, about five feet down. Needless to say, she's hard to get to. I know I have to move her eventually, is there a too late or a too early to do so? She's about a week and a half along sitting on the eggs.

So, I was hoping for a broody this week. Hoping so bad, because I wanted to time it the first week of spring break when I'd have time. Today, my wish was granted. My little girl Lacy wouldn't get off her nest. She's a very skittish little girl, flees if you come within two feet of her. I...

My little butterscotch is a BO hen, she is over 30 weeks old and has been laying eggs for me for quite some time. In the past week she doesn't want to eat, drink, walk or do much at all. She can hardly walk but she does run away and flap her wings when my silly rooster Jack mates her, at least...

I'm sure you guys have seen this, but for those who haven't!:

My five BO hens are the only ones missing fethers on their big fluffy butts. Could it be excessive mating from the roosters? All seven of my BOs sleep on the ground, however my roosters show no sign of missing feathers. But maybe I haven't noticed. Also, if it was mites wouldn't it not be...

Today around 6 I came home and went to shut the chickens up in their coop. It was pouring and I was late so it was pitch black. As I walked up I noticed three of my girls were all sopping wet and still outside. I sighed and attempted to chase them in and the wouldn't move. I entered the coop...

A couple of days ago I noticed my rooster Thorn had his one eye closed and wouldn't open it. He opened it after I held him and it seemed ok enough. The next night I saw him he had it shut again an it was weeping. I never saw him open it until I brought him into the basement away from the...

I'm very curious. In another thread someone said a buff Orpington roo and a wyandotte make sex link chicks. How does that work?

It was raining all day and finally picked up to sleet a few hours ago, now it's almost completely snowing! I'm so excited to go and see my chickens, only a few more minutes! Last time I didn't get to see them in the snow because I was at school, which was a bit dissapointing. Anyways, I'll be...

I have a buff brahma and whenever she's in the coop where it's a bit dusty she gets bubbles in her eye/eyes. When I bring her outside it clears up. However when she sneezes bubbles go into her eyes and then fade in about 5-10 seconds... Help?! I've heard that chickens die from stuff like...

Well, we're building a whole lot more coops here and my mom wants a few chickens for her garden. I would make her a chicken tractor as well as a coop so she could monitor their 'weeding'. She's not sure what chickens to get and she doesn't really care about looks, as long as it's not a turken...

Well, in McMurray's FAQ They said they did, and then contacted me and said they didn't. So needless to say, my feathers are a bit ruffled. All the hatcheries here in Canada don't have a very big variety and are very expensive. So do you know any hatcheries that ship outside of the US? We're...

Well first of all while cleaning out the chicken coop today I found bloody poo up on the roost, at least I think it was bloody. I have no clue who did it and if it really is coxy. I can't figure out which one did it because they all seem rather healthy except one, but she never goes up on...

So, first of all I blew around fifty dollars at the poultry swap, which resulted in a very happy Gabrielle, which of course is me. The sad part was saying goodbye to my excess roosters which I absolutely loved. Storm my little boy who thought I was his hen and actually tried to mate with my...
