this isn't an emergency. My 1 yr old cochin was fine when i let her out at 6 this morning. At 7, she was in the laying box. At 9, she was dead on the coop floor?!!! I had been worried about how she was going to deal with the extreme heat this summer (Virginia). It's been in the high 90's. She...

Hi- I think i have a depressed chicken on my hands. She's a 5 month old Cochin, and came into the flock as a new born, with 3 others. I have 2 older girls that are the head honchos. Everyone's a bantam, except Cochin. She's a BIG girl, and looks like baby huey beside the others. Cochin is at the...

This morning, she was fine. When i came home a few hours later, i found her sitting beside the water trough, with her head resting on it. Her vent was protruded and drippy. I watched her for a while, and out popped an egg/. (So i know she's not egg-bound) She's never laid an egg "in public"...

SandPaper, my bantam, likes hiding in my bike basket... "Whacha doing?"

I am giving away my 14 month Old English Game banty hen, because she's a mean little thing, and pecks the hell out of my new chicks. She pecks me too. Time for her to find a new home. She's a good egg layer, and very healthy, and will sit for petting, if she's feeling it. I'm also giving away a...

I just got my chicks from MyPetChicken on Tuesday morning. They all looked fine, and then yesterday I noticed my Cochin is limping badly. She won't put any weight on her right foot. She stretches it all the way back, when she wakes, and can raise it to scratch her head. But she hops along on her...

I have a flock of 4 bantam hens, that have been raised together. We originally had 2 roosters with them, but got rid of them because we live in an urban setting. The hens are now 8 months old. A couple months ago, one hen starting some really strange, aggressive behavior towards me! She comes at...

at least i THINK it was... all 4 of my bantams were hiding, and wouldn't come out when i called, which is very unusual. I spotted 3 of them wedged in a tight spot, and they came out when they saw me. They were VERY quiet, which i also unusual. The fourth was nowhere. I checked my neighbors...

no pushing, no shoving....

Everything was fine for the last 4 1/2 months. my 4 bantam heans would run to see if i brought any treats for them whenever i came thru the door. I would love on all of them, and vice versa. But for the past few days, my Mink has been getting really snitty with me. If i pick her up, she bites...

Got my first egg this afternoon!!! I'm feeling embarassed of how excited this has made me! I called me mom to tell her, and she was silent, before saying "...you used to get this excited about a good sale!"... oh how times have changed.... photo below is my little egg, compared to a store...

what are the signs that my hens will start laying soon? I've heard something about squatting, and red faces?

Has anyone successfully diapered their bantam? I keep trying every few weeks, but they're just so darn small! Either the diaper slips off, or it's too heavy, and they tip over (which is TOO funny). I got the smallest diaper available.

I've been watching my 16 week old hen do this strange thing today, where she opens her mouth wide, and rolls her neck out, kinda like she's gonna puke. She'll do this every 10 seconds for a minute, maybe, then stop for a while, and do it more later. I noticed her poops are really watery, too...
