Any chicken you get from feed stores come from hatcheries and aren't quality birds. Most are usually breed with some thing else to up the egg laying abilities. My hatchery buffs were bred with reds and you could defiantly tell when you put them side by side with a red. So you never really know...

I would say hen. They look just like my hatchery hens.

You are probably right a fox would have most defiantly killed and ate her. I'd kill that dog. Attacking animals on your land, ya that would be a dead dog. Don't get me wrong I love dogs but have no use for ones that don't know there place and kill for fun.

A story for all. Last week some neighborhood kids found a small gosling. When I found this out I took it from them and went to the spot where they found it. When I could not locate the chicks mother I decided to take the chick to the lake, which is only about 50 yds from my house. I figured...

I have hatchery buffs and they started around 22 weeks.

That is so funny. I have never seen that before. That is either a really smart chick or a really lazy one. Hitching a ride on moms back.

Last weekend I got 1 Cock, 1 Hen and 3 pullets S.O.P Buff Orps. The pullets are the daughters of the hen and cock. They were 4H show birds. They never made grand champion but did fairly well. I got them from a friend of friend that had his job transferred and couldn't take the birds with them...

Johnn That is one grouchy girl. She looks like she is going to rip your fingers off. And have you thought about caging Bella with her eggs so she has nothing to do but sit.

That is her way of saying get your hands off my eggs. I get that a lot. I have 4 girls that are broody and they scream at me, even when they don't have eggs. Then I get the death stare. 1 of my girls is sitting on eggs. Babies any time now. Hopefully Today. Edited by staff

Will do.

Best books ever. Imagine looking out your window seeing a mini person riding one of your chickens. Little reigns, little saddle.

One of my girls will be hatching her first clutch in about 10 days.. I can't wait.

I now have 2 hens sitting. 1 has been sitting on eggs since around about the 26 of March. I checked the eggs for fertility 2 days ago and all looks well. Hopefully in about 12 days I will have babies. The other hens just started sitting about 2 days ago. 1 other is starting to show signs of...

She won't be back. This is the first time I ever seen this from her. I hammer it in to my kids to have respect for all creatures even ones intended for slaughter. Well especially ones going to slaughter, they are after all giving their lives for us to live. That is the most noble death there is...

Can anyone tell me if it is easy for a wing to be broken. I caught a neighbor kid kick 1 of hens yesterday and now her wing is hanging and swollen. She was eating and drinking this morning then curled up in a corner. And it figures she is my favorite hen. Her name is Queen and she is just that...

The roo that is my avatar would fall asleep on me when he was 1 day to 4 months old. Then he got to big and would lean on me and sleep. I miss him.

Hey Jubilation. I have a gun and need an excuse to go somewhere that is warmer.

Mystery chicks are fun, i hope it is something good.

Call the county humane society and the cops. There are laws to protect against dogs that kill for fun.

I put 10 males in the freezer last fall. They are not bad. Mine are free range and they like to run from one side of the yard to the other like a chicken marathon. It made them a little tough but has a good flavor.
