how do I figure out if these hens are healthy and once i know they are, how do i introduce them?
Please be as detailed as you can, I want no tradgeties!
Maybe have your mom not go intot the doctor office with you? I just turned 17 and when I was about 15, when I got up to go intot he room and my mom started to get up, I said, Mom, I can handle it. Stay here. And I went in by myself, got business done, and bam, your outta there.

Thats exctly what happened. I thought, oh Ill be able to do it, so I walked outside in the rain with my trash bag, got within 10 feet and started sobbing. My little brother came with me and he ran into the house and left me with her, So I ran back in after him. I dont know why I cant...
I just came home from a long day at school and hockey practice, all sweaty and hungry ready to jump into the shower. I walk through the door and my brother comes up to me and tells me that one of my 4 chickens is dead. My heart just sank. The worst part of it all is that these hens meant so...
I had 5 hens, and we lost one sadly when she was about 3 months old due to a coyote before we had fencing up. Now I am looking to buy a hen off of a friend of mine. My 4 hens now are about 8 months old, and her hen is about a year. How do I go about introducing them once I gt her home...

I say a caption contest! They are lways so much fun! Post a funny picture of some chickens and have members compete to create the funniest caption for it! We can get a new picture weekly!
Its so cool that you guys know what breed they are! I cant even get people around here to know what they are. You know how many times I get "IS THAT A LONG HAIRED CHIHUAHUA!?"
Some people say that you can never trust a dog with chickens unattended. Its true, they are natural predators. But when you have a dog slightly larger than the egg that comes from you hens butt, I'd say its safe ;]
Post Pictures of your dogs and chickens together!
I have 4 hens, 1 Autralorp, 1 BR, 1 Orpington, and 1 Wyandotte.
The orpington doesnt act like the others in the sense that when I am outside, the otehr 3 will go off and dustbathe in a corner of the yard, and Orpie runs to me and wont leave my side. When I put her back with her flock, she...
