I would like everyone's input on this hen. She is laying. I don't know what breed/mix she is, though. Any thoughts? I have posted pics of her and a couple others that I bought recently, but didn't narrow down her breed. Thank you in advance for any feedback!

Stella is a 16 month old EE hen that went broody over the past weekend. Yesterday she was fine. This morning I found her laying in the run next to the fencing. She can stand, but doesn't want to. She does respond to noise and my presence. Her crop felt normal, but not full (not quite empty...

I got them from a private owner. He said he was sold a cuckoo maran (back) and a jersey blue giant (front). So what are we looking at? I'm new to chickens, and I don't mind what they are as long as they lay eggs, lol. I would like to know what they are though! And the black one in the...

I bought this turkey as a chick in April. The sign at the feed store just said "Turkey chicks" and the girl at the counter didn't know any more than that. Anyone care to help me out? Thank you in advance for any feedback!

I have weighed the pros and cons of posting these questions: CON: I will show the BYC world just what a chicken newbie I am. PROS: 1) My pride can take the hit. 2) The seasoned members will probably get a morning chuckle out of it. 3) Other newbies may benefit from the responses. My LH...

I'm new to chickens. The feed store told me they could get me 6 BA and 6 RIR. What I got: 5 BA, 3 "RIR' (2 are actually BO) and 4 "RIW." What do you all think he is? https://www.backyardchickens.com/gallery/image/view/id/5167912/album/6079769

Customer service being what it is today (sadly), I'm sure everyone can relate to this. I finally have a flock (a year after buying acreage, lol). In April I called some local feed stores looking for my first chicks. One young man told me "I can pick some up for you, I can have them on...

My fave is the e-Trade baby "Apparently riding the dog like a small horse is frowned upon in this establishment!" My least fave - the Cialis bathtub commercials.

DH is working in Louisiana. We live in Florida, 880 miles apart. I left Louisiana to go home to take care of some things. When I got home, I realized that my house keys were still in the camper - in Louisiana! Thank you, Mr. Locksmith!

Earworms: any song, jingle, etc. that sticks in your head and just WON'T go away! I woke up this morning with Taylor Swift's "Mean" stuck in my head! Which one is bugging you?? For how long?? What do you do to get rid of it??

I don't have any chickens yet. Just bought some land and haven't moved in yet, so I'm in the early stage of planning/research. I found this site when I googled "raising chickens in Florida." It looks like a great place to help me start off on the right foot, and head in the right direction. It...
