Hi, I have a ten year old barred rock hen named combs. It has been months since the last time she layed, and the last time she became egg bound. Yesterday she spent most of her morning in the egg box but seemed fine and left without laying. When I went to feed the chickens dinner I found her in...

Chance May is almost ten months old and is showing interests in the eggs box and such. I am so excited for her first egg! I am craving me some guinea eggs.

I have a rooster who is EXTRA people friendly. He is so sweet and loves car rides, being on the hammock, going on walks, being on my shoulder, hugs, and kisses, ext. He's always been so sweet with me. Well he isn't exactly that way with chickens. He targets our two ten year olds (who don't even...

This is Zeppelin....he's a mamas boy and loves to e on the hammock

I was looking out the window when suddenly I see my roosters attacking a small bird, it managed to get away from them but it then was attacked by various other chickens. She is not a good flyer. Basically she is in a small bird cage on our front porch now and doesn't want to leave. We tried to...

So call me crazy but I have a dream for my chickens when I reach like mid 30's. I want a flock that is all of my babies, ya know normally chickens and lots of different breeds. Then I want a temporary flock area that will be used for when I get new rescued/adopted chickens and I need to...

Which taste better? Chicken or Guinea eggs? Personally I like Guinea eggs more, I wish I had more than one lol.

It's taken me a while to get back on this sight (idk why) but now i've been sharring a lot of stories that's been happening lately. Anyways my family rescued 8 mallard ducks over the summer. One of them (named Crinkle) developed wet feather. He couldn't fly well and had a hard time keeping up...

I have 4 handsome roosters. Ricky Ricardo is 6/7 and has saved our girls from lots of prediotors but is getting rough around the ages. Then I have three May babies. Diesel is a barred rock and lives in the garden with Zeppelin, my lavender orpington. They're bad, don't ask. But then there is...

I begged and begged for my mom to let us get lavender orpingtons in our shared flock, finally they came! Well of course I decided to hold off on naming until they were a bit older.. except for one. So kind and loving, sweet, loves to cuddle. Well of course Silver ended up being a boy because...

I have a barred rock chicken names Tootie Fruitie. To be honest I had no idea she would be so popular and thought she would fade in the background, hence the funny name. Anyways I should have known better. Too Fru is very adventures, even from a young age. Her curiousity gets the best of...

I already know the answer is yes, but I want to tell what is going on. I have a beautiful 3 year old black austrolorp named Nana. (She was named by our 5 year old.) She is the sweetest and loves the children. Always fat and happy. Gets along wit everyone even when she puts the pullets their...

Ricky is my 6-7 year old barred rock austrolrp rooster. Yesterday afternoon I noticed his left wing was hanging down. I felt the two wings for a difference and it almost felt unattached. My mom suggested maybe it was just resting (we share the flock) but today it seems to be even lower and when...

(for the sake of time I will abbreviate all rooster names.) I have 30+ chickens, and 4 roosters. R is the orginal, D,Z, and M are all new this year. Born in may. D was the first to become a roo and while he was learning how to have sex one of my ten year old chickens Connie (barred rock, as of...

Next year I'm looking to hatch and sell Lavender Orpingtons. How much could I sell them for as chicks vs as pullets?

So how do you trim chicken butt feathers? My 3 yr old Black Austrolorp named EE needs a trim before winter sets in and I need to find out how. Sorry I didn't know where to put this thread.

So as many of you know I have a barred rock rooster named Diesel and he has twisted toes. He's a may baby and It hasn't really caused him many issues except when he was younger and got boo boos from how the toes rubbed together and it was very hard for him to figure ouut how to do the scuffing...

I have 4 lavender orpingtons and 4 barred rocks hens that were born in may. None of them have started laying yet. All 12 of my new austrolrps were laying at this age. I'm worried that because they didn't get finisher feed that it affected they're laying. Maybe I'm paranoid.

I have a young barred rock rooster. At almost pullet age he got twisted toes. No one listened to me and so I was unable to fix them. Any ways he's a big boy now and walks, talks, and has a healthy sex drive but i worry about his poor toes still because they can mess him up when he runs sometimes...
