I have two hens that are about a year old. We tried twice to integrate two new pullets. Each time we had them near each other for while while ranging. The coop design did not allow for us to keep the babies separated so, we kept them together during the day and moved "the littles" back to the...

My BR started loosing feathers months ago. She never slowed or stopped producing until recently. At the time we had a roo and he seemed to peck at her back quite a bit. We have since re-homed the roo. He has been gone for about a month now. She got one new feather that immediately fell out...

Thank you!

Our neighbors have called the city and we must re-home our beautiful boy. "Bill" needs to find a new home. He is very affectionate and mostly well behaved. He does tend to be a bit more aggressive with the kids although, he comes to me to be picked up and will even sit in my lap. He is very...

My rooster was attacked by our dog on Friday evening. He lost most of the feathers on his back end. It was not a deep wound so I let it be. The wound now looks like it is turning green. Is it mold or is that the color the skin turns when healing or scabbing? Should I leave it or try to clean...

We have two new chicks, one EE and one California White. I ended up with an EeRoo with our first chicks so I feel a I can tell this one is a pullet at this point. I have no experience with the Cal Whites. From day one he/ she has had a bit of a comb. Is this normal or is she a he? I can't...

My rooster has foam in his eyes. These are our first chickens so, this is all new to me. What is it and how do I treat it.

We lost our beautiful, gentle great Dane to cancer recently. We decided to adopt a sixth month old puppy from the humane society. What is the best way to introduce him to the chickens? They say he is a Catahoula leopard which is a herding dog. How do I teach him to leave my girls alone?

i have been poking around for a few weeks and posted a couple of times. I never officially introduced myself. I am very new to chickens. I decided I wanted to raise chickens for the egss and start a small backyard garden to give my children the experience of seeing where there food comes from...

My beautiful four year old Great Dane Matilda has, what they are fairly confident is, a tumor in her rear left femur. They did a biopsy today and we should know Tuesday. This type of bone cancer is fast moving and it will metastisize. The only viable option for pain management is amputating...

Several posts have said light EE chickens with dark tails can't be hens due to coloring? Is it not possible to have this coloring at all on a hen or just not likely and why?

In the coop and in the run?

In the coop and in the run?

I had planned to have four hens for laying only. I was not interested in breeding chickens. I purchased four chicks, various breeds. The farm store where I got the chicks will take back cockerels and do their best to find them good homes (no guarantees). It turns out my Ameracuana is an EE...

Can anyone tell from this picture what type of chickens these are? This is my husbands grandfather with his flock.

I am new to chickens. I am a little worried that my lady here might not be a lady at all! Can you tell me what you think? Also, she was sold to me as an Ameraucana. After looking at so many posts about Ameraucanas, I am thinking maybe she is not. Can you give me your opinion and let me know...

My Houdan managed to get over the fence yesterday. When my husband got to the neighbors yard, their dog had her cornered. She was on the floor feet up. Her tail feathers are a bit of a mess. She was not bleeding and appeared to be ok. This morning. she was slow to get out of the coop. I...
