    Can chickens treat other chickens harshly because of their colour/breed?

    This year I hatched 3 silkies under a broody hen. We got two buff and one black. They’ve grown up without any fights or fusses and their mother has now stopped looking after them and has went back to the big coop- which is all good. however, upon adding two buff Orpington pullets to their coop...

    Wierd looking wart on chick (has a gross image)

    Hey, I bought 6 chicks from TSC recently. I got 4 white leghorns and 2 orpingtons. It was all fine until I saw something one one of the orpingtons. I saw a weird ward coming out of the chick. It isn't pasty butt as it's not in the cloaca of the chick. It seems to be like a dark wart. I was...

    Near Winchester VA Free - two Buff Orpington Hens

    These hens are 3 years old and good layers still and I would like them to go to "forever homes", not to be killed or eaten. I am afraid that they might freeze this winter without other chickens to keep the coop warmer and I am getting too old to take care of them. If you have room for them...
