    Stumbling 4 month old buff orpington pullet

    We ordered 2 dozen fertilized eggs from McMurray Hatchery to hatch in my daughter 2nd grade class. We successfully hatched 9. Out of those nine, we currently only have two that are still alive (2 were roosters). We lost our last pullet earlier this week and we have one that has always been a...

    I've got a brown Easter Egger from Hoover's Hatchery that lays blue eggs. My only roo is a Buff Orp. EE's eggs are fertile and I'm getting ready to start an incubator batch this week. I'd like to put some of her eggs in with the purebred BO eggs to get little easter egger chicks with a chance of...

    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...
