    Can anyone guess my hens age?

    Hello all! I am a new chicken owner; I got two chickens a few days ago! Unfortunately I do not trust the place we got them from too much because although they seemed sufficiently (barely sufficiently) cared for, my chicken was definitely the victim of some bullying and pecking from other...

    Nesting box question

    Our original nesting box (on the right in the picture attached) was a DIY project. Free, easy and still used daily by our original 3 OG's. Since then, we've added a dozen or so more to the flock and got a bigger nesting box system thing (on the left in the picture) for everyone to use. The new...

    We live in NH and are new to chickens. We got 12 chicks at one day old from a local garden store. 4 Easter Eggers, 4 Barred Rocks, and 4 Rhode Island Reds.

    New chicken lover

    Hey everyone, We have 10 little friends roaming the property peacefully looking for food. That's until we come out, they run to welcome us with hopeful looks. These little things have changed my vision on senerity.

    Ameraucana and Olive Egger Sexing

    Hello! I have one Olive Egger I am fairly certain is a rooster and one Ameraucana I suspect is a rooster. I also have one chicken that I hope is an Ameraucana but suspect it is an OE. I ordered 5 and got a 6th so I’m not sure what the extra is. I am guessing they were at least a week old when I...
