chooks

Nesting box mayhem. (Onyx, Esther, and Glowy)

Recently, a chicken of mine hatched 5 chooks - two of which were Light Sussex chickens, originally, we assumed this one was a male Light Sussex but now we are reconsidering. I think it might be a female Columbian Wyandotte, as it’s got yellow feet, same pattern and a teeny tiny comb. It’s about...

Hi there my fellow chook owners, I want to see some coops and what is the best thing about them. I was thinking of of splitting my coop right down the middle and separating my meat birds from my egg layers, but I need some ideas, so start squaking. :bun

G'day mates. Seven weeks ago we bought a "breeding trio" of Wyandottes from a local heritage breeder that's closing down his business. From day one the two girls laid an egg per day, almost religiously. Then I let them fill a nest to see what happens. When they reached 20 eggs, (an even...

Hi I'm Latisha, I'm new here and wanting to learn more about chickens.

Hello fellow chicken people. I’m new here and have been lurking for awhile. I have a flock of 8 chickens at home with my Dad in lower Michigan. I moved to the UP and had to leave my lovely flock behind... I was their number one caretaker so I’m heartbroken... I was hoping to get a flock up here...

My hens have had no problems with feathers for awhile, but recently their feathers look like they're broken or ripped off. :hit Some feathers just aren’t there, and some are snapped half way in a V shape, and are very spiky. Is this mites? There are too many broken to be pecking.:( I’m very...

Hello folks welcome to the poultry show simply post a picture of your chook or roo and write when they were born/ their mum and dad/ what breed/cross breed and that should do.

I am not sure if this is the right place to post this but anyway, I absolutely love chooks. I have 8 little fluff butts, [technically 4, the others belong to some of my siblings] and I would like to breed. The breeds I like are GLWs and White Araucanas. BUT, Dad hates my chickens. [To be fair...

This is Princess. I got her around three weeks ago from TSC, and when I first brought this set of babies home I had already had two sets of babies. She (gosh, I hope she's a she) was droopy and seemed sick at the store so naturally I brought her home to love her. The photo above was taken...

Hi, I got some chickens months ago and thinking they were all hens i was a little worried when i noticed this chooks facial features, he's with 5 other hens and a few ducks and a drake, i was just wondering whether you thought he was a rooster or not, i was about to buy a rooster but seeing this...
