    It is my honor to announce...

    I started building my coop last year while my friends were gutting a house they'd bought. They let me take whatever I wanted from their demolition pile, and I hauled a LOT of stuff away -- lots of odd-sized studs and scraps of plywood. They probably saved me a couple hundred bucks on my coop...

    Strange yellow mass below vent of Buff Orpington

    Hello. This morning my family found our 4-year-old (estimate) Buff Orpington had a huge yellow mass below her vent. She had tons of maggots feeding off of the wound, which is obviously infected. She surprisingly wasn't very affected by this mass. She is breathing heavily and is pretty tired...

    Guess the gender!

    I don’t know how old my B O chicks were when I got them, but i’ve had them for about 5 weeks, and they didn’t look brand new when we got them, so I think they are 5.5-6 weeks old. Just wondering what some more experienced people than myself (as a new chicken enthusiast) think about whether the...

    Terrible, horrible, no good, very bad rooster.

    Meet Debbie. We thought he was a girl when he was young because he was a little behind the other cockerels in coloring and such, hence the name Debbie. Debbie is, to put it lightly, a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad rooster. He’s the beta of the flock and has, thus far, attacked me (his...

    LONG POST ALERT!! Alright, here goes! The backstory: I purchased my first chicks a year ago on the 18th of March. Six months later, at the end of September, one of the buff orpington pullets I had went broody. She sat dutifully through more than a month (naturally I had to confirm she was...

    Why Is My Chicken So Angry (Maybe)!?

    Whenever we see our chickens they all love us! But one of them just ruffles her feathers up and starts hating us. It doesn't matter who it is. When we go to collect the eggs she like makes a loud screeching noise (if she is in the box) Anything that can help or is she broody (thought)?
