    Favorite Chicken Breed?

    Plymouth Barred Rocks all the way. These things will lay just as well as any egg-laying breed while also being really friendly and cold hardy. I've been partial to Barred Rocks ever since we got our first batch of chickens; heck, my profile picture is a Barred Rock. The only con is that Barred...

    Scammed! (UPDATE)

    Those are beautiful hens; but our easter eggers don't look like that. They're basically just lighter Golden Comets (no black). I'll take some pictures to share soon

    Scammed! (UPDATE)

    So a while ago I made a very angry post about some supposed "Easter Egger" chicks that we had bought from our local Bomgaars that seemingly turned out to be Golden Comet roosters. Fast forward to a few months later, and I am so embarrassed. We watched them mature with baited breath; but after...

    Hawk Hunting Chickens?

    Thank you for the answers; this does give me an idea of what to do. I'll have to talk to my parents about it so we can figure something out, but at least now I know what's going on. Thank you

    Hawk Hunting Chickens?

    So over the past month or so we've been having a serious hawk problem. Back in October/November of last year we had some random hawk show up and scare the crap out of our chickens. This continued over the next few weeks; though this hawk didn't try to eat the chickens, it just stared at them and...

    Genius! I've heard that manure makes heat while composting, but I never thought of using it like that!

    What is Smokey's Syndrome?

    What is Smokey's Syndrome? Smokey's Syndrome is a condition that some "teenage" chickens may develop, the only symptom being somewhat aggressive and unprovoked biting. Is it dangerous? Not necessarily, as they aren't really attacking, so to say, just biting a bit harder than normal. My cockerel...
