Anyone have any experience with French Marans? I adore feathered feet and I stumbled across these beauties! How do they do with your other flock members? Where did you source them? Did you show them? Are they friendly? Anything you have I will take.

My dad is at it again. After losing Daytona the whole family knows we need more chickens. Her death was really hard. She had a prolapsed vent that we just couldn't fix. Not even the vet. He wants a breed that isn't prone to laying too many eggs until they die, but will still lay a reasonable...

We have 4 brahma hens and 3 golden comet hens in a 10x10ish coop. The run is likely 15x20. I fear my coop is too big to keep them toasty in winter. We have a heat plate for those really cold nights but it's a last resort. It is difficult to send electricity to the coop so we are trying to save...

Willow my 2 year old Call duck is constantly injuring herself. We were gifted her about 2 weeks ago and she has been nothing but trouble.

We got these plastic chicken yard stakes from our neighbors and I really can’t figure out what they are…

I never ever thought I’d have to venture to this section, sometimes I get annoyed at the people post in this section. But here I am. I’ve got a buff Brahma who is nine weeks old on Monday. He/she likes to fight with everybody and has a red comb, but it’s still pretty pinkish and it doesn’t seem...
