I've got a weird problem happening here in southwestern Va in my coop -- invisible bugs are jumping on me in my chicken coop! My face and hands, the part of my hair, around my ankles...anywhere there is bareskin, I'm itching when I leave the coop after feeding and watering. The chickens seem...

Hatched Feb 14, 2012, from show quality french black copper marans. Bev Davis lineage. Have 2 beautiful cockerels that need homes, and will consider selling a few of my 10 week old girls as well. My flock is fed only organic/soy free feed, the best that I can possibly find, from Countryside...

Please if you have an idea of what this is I'm dealing with ,let me know. Only my marans are coming down with this. They don't seem to feel bad at all, just look awful. These don't seem to be 'warts' like pics I've seen of the fowl pox...and their combs are shriveling up! They started this...

Rhode Island Red Cockerel for sale. This 14 week old RIR boy I bought at Tractor Supply as a baby chick, from a bin of 'all' pullets! Well, he surprised us by turning into all boy! He's easy going and easy to get along with. Would love to find him a home with lots of hens, and someone who...

Seeking Lavender Bantam Pekins, just for pets mostly. I live in North Carolina. Searching the internet over, and every breeder or listing seems to be in the UK. Any advice? Someone must have them here in the states, right? Thank you in advance for your advice!

Seriously need to rehome two 6 month old Buff Brahma boys, and two 12 week old buff brahma boys ASAP. If you or anyone you know wants them...either to come pick one or all up, or have them delivered, please let me know. All are very nice, non-aggressive, and even well-trained. I just can't...

First time chicken owner here....please give me your opinions here. My roo, Dancer, has a pretty large comb for a buff brahma, and during that cold snap in December, his comb went from standing up straight on his pretty head, to flopping over to one side, and covering most of one eye! He is...

Ok, I realize I'm new to chickens, BUT. Isn't it just plain common sense that any type of bird feeder needs a LID??? Why is it that I can't find one WITH a lid? The metal feeder I bought at tractor supply out of necessity I rigged a pie pan on the top, and even though it's supposedly a...

Just went up to shut my chickens back into their chicken house and saw a hawk (huge one) fly out of my fence enclosure. My 8 week old buff brahma pullet was laying on her side. Amazingly she is not dead. It's been about an hour since the attack. She's probably about 1.5 lbs. Her wound seems...

Just read this on aol news: http://www.aolnews.com/nation/article/egg-recall-salmonella-cases-expected-to-rise-as-recall-widens-lawsuit-filed/19598839 I'm new to chickens.... my girls are only 6 weeks old, and no eggs yet. What advice do you all have to avoid salmonella poisoning in my own...

Hi, I've read the article here on sexing dominique chicks and poured over the pics of the dominiques. I only have two chicks and here are the pictures of them from this morning. They are a day and a half old here....from Hodges Farms in Virginia if anyone knows of them. Out of 16 eggs, these...

Here's my first hatched chick! It's still the biggest one, I can't believe this big chick came out of that tiny egg!!

Hatching wasn't supposed to start til tomorrow. Obviously those chicks forgot to look at the calendar! So, I've got one that is now 8 hours old, and another that is about 2 hours old, and a 3rd pipping..... My question is this: I read on a another website that if you don't have starter feed...

First time hatcher here. Bought Miller Still Air incubator for around $45 at the local Southern States. Was using the tiny thermometer that came with it. Kept it right at 100 degrees. Then went out to buy a Walmart Hygrometer, plus thermometer.....the thermometer clearly doesn't...
