    Hen Walking Backwards with Head Down

    I'm so sorry! I haven't been on in a long time! I had a baby a year ago and she has kept me crazy busy! I never did find out what caused it, but I still have her, and she's healthy and acting fine!

    NY chicken lover!!!!

    Hello! I'm having the hardest time finding a silkie hen and a "lavender" colored hen of any breed. Seems like chickens are getting harder to come by these days! I'm in Schenectady County.

    I was not aware of that - only roosters have this color?

    Disturbing Egg

    Sorry I didn't get a picture. It was too late. I was so nauseated I had my husband throw it out. It was a meaty looking hunk in the egg white. The yolk was normal and undisturbed. This was likely a meat spot? I've had the little bloody meat stops before but never a solid mass! I'm just...

    Disturbing Egg

    I recently adopted a new hen. Today when I cracked open one of her eggs, there was what looked like a chunk of meat or sausage in the egg white. I didn't take a picture because I was horrified and almost threw up. I've read about lash eggs and I don't know if this was that or not... it didn't...

    Please keep my girl in your thoughts. Sorry for another long post

    Oh the poor baby! I'm so glad she has a good home with you. So many others would have just put her down. People don't understand when I say my girls are pets. They just see eggs and food. I hate the jokes people make about roasting them. How would they like jokes about eating their dogs? She is...

    My Beautiful Sue

    I lost my first chicken to a predator. I would like to post in her honor. Sue was a sweet 2.5 year old RIR. She was very mouthy and sassy, yelling at anyone who disturbed her while laying her eggs. She was definitely a protector. She always sounded the alarm when she saw someone she didn't...

    Lost my first Chicken

    I found out what happened. When raking out their run, it appears there was old rusty metal fencing under the dirt that was unearthed. A big rusted metal bar was sticking up. She must have caught her belly on it. My husband pulled it all out of the ground so it's safe now. I feel so awful. My...

    Lost my first Chicken

    She was in her enclosed pen. I didn't see anything sharp that could have hurt her. The poor girl. I feel awful and wish I could have helped her.

    I'm so sorry. I just had the same thing happen. I was at a loss for words. It was heartbreaking. It was my first loss.

    Lost my first Chicken

    Today I lost my first chicken. She was sitting all balled up. When I picked her up, her intestines were hanging out. I cannot figure out what happened to her. They were not coming out of her vent. They appeared to be coming out of a cut on her belly. Nothing was chewed on and she has no other...

    Parakeets for Adoption

    My husband's grandmother passed. She had two parakeets. One is a green colored male, and one is a blue colored female. I do not know their ages. We are currently taking care of them, but cannot keep them. If anyone in the upstate NY area is interested, please let me know! We live close to the...
