I noticed that my roosters feet have started looking really rough, swollen even? The bump on his right foot is also worrisome. He is a marans, 3 years old (& huge!) & has never grown feathers on his legs/shanks/feet, ever. Are his feet abnormal looking? I know the red is hormones, it’s his...

You can build your own fence with thin-ish tree branches. Make it as tall as you want, sharpen the end of the branch that is going vertically & stab it into the ground, then proceed with the next vertical branch & so on & so forth, then with thinner branches you create a weave. I think the term...

I feel that we all have our right now I choose on how to deal with predators. I’m not one to judge. My leghorn hen was a victim of a fox attack… and it happened right below me. I didn’t see a thing, none of the chickens alerted. A few months later another fox tried to get to my Easter Eggers...

After watching Uncle Ben at The Urban Rescue ranch deal with his male Rhea… no thank you. Kevin is terrifying.

I can get one today when I get home.

She will most likely start laying again once things are back to normal for her. She might be a little traumatized from the attack, poor thing! Her energy is being put into healing her wounds. I had a hen that was attacked by a big mastiff one evening. Ripped out every butt feather, left some...

I wanted some Buff Laced Brahma’s from Carolina Rare Chicks. I will have to look into them again.

Big Boy, Bear… Easter egger Big boy, Claw, Easter egger. Big boy, Hei Hei, Black Copper Marans Big boy, Kai (pronounced Ky), Mosaic These are just 4/6 of my big boys. I also have a silver spangled Hamburg named Kermit, &EE/Hamburg named Peacock Peake. And 8 bantam roo’s (ugh) named Taz...

Will do!

Funny thing about that, my husband got the receipt out to see how much we paid for all 10 chicks. Our receipt only showed “4 premium pullets $5.99”. Apparently they only charged us for the 4 Orpies, even though the Brahmas & Orps were separated out into 2 different boxes at checkout. We...

As they have feathered out more now, they are definitely buff. Both breeds. 🤣😭 Our first time buying from TSC, too.

Bump?

Hello from WNC as well. 🤚🏼

I need some help with these little cuties. On 8/5 My husband made a trip to TSC one evening to get some supplies. While there he called me & said that they had Light Brahmas, & if I wanted some. Of course, I said yes. Then he called back and said that they also had English Orpies, but only had...

My blue australorp-mixed hen was kind enough to leave me a very tiny egg as well…. My first fart egg, egg fart, fairy egg, etc. weighing in at 12g. 😍

That round floofy tush screams cochin (like others have commented). She’s so pretty! Cochins are so darn cute.

How awful! As someone who has experienced quite a bit of death surrounding chickens mainly, it never gets easier. I cry like a baby every time. Hope that you can heal from this experience, it sounds so stressful & sad!

So strange! She’s had a tiny freckle thing in that same spot ever since she was a chick. Almost like a blackhead that humans get that has grown large, possibly full of gunk?? It doesn’t seem to stop her from doing her thing but it doesn’t look like it’s going anywhere any time soon.

Thanks for your response, & I apologize for my late response. Had a different hen with impacted crop that I was working with & lead me to forget about this post that I made. I’m definitely keeping an eye on it. I thought it was an injury due to the hardware cloth or something but it hasn’t...

I’ve had Ginger since she was a day old chick from Mcmurray’s & I always noticed this tiny brown dot that she had in the same exact place on her nose as this bump, but it looked nothing more than a freckle. Now it’s grown fairly big. When I study it, it looks like it might have a small pin hole...
