    Snake killed chicken?

    That does look very much like a snake tried to swallow your chicken and couldn’t get it’s jaw around the shoulders. Never seen it personally but I have read it happens.

    My rooster sounds like a rubber chicken

    Your kids are a bad influence on your chickens! Haha just kidding. I think those rubber chickens are designed to sound like young roosters not the other way round. Just don’t let the chickens tape the kids to their feet and everything should be ok!

    New chicks

    I don’t know much but if you look up “line breeding” it might be a good place to start researching. You can mate a sire to it’s offspring perfectly fine for at least one generation. It does get weird at some point though. Someone with more experience will chime in but in the meantime that might...

    enrichment/enclosure for indoor setup (plants,toys, etc)

    I think there are lots of opinions but also lots of research you can do before you make a decision. If there is an aviary near you or a zoo with lots of birds that might be a good hands-on bit of research. You could see the various enclosures they keep certain birds in and note how many of each...

    TSC might have duped me

    Do you have full-bodied pictures in the light? My BCMs don’t usually have coloring that low on the chest.

    4 week old lavender Orpington

    It’s not that I see something it’s that I don’t see anything either way so I am betting it’s a pullet. Because of the way lavender feathers are it’s sometimes hard to see male specific feathering until later than usual and because Orpington combs can pink up early I don’t count them out either...

    Bowling Thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    That is hilarious! In my Grandma’s case it would have to be reworded as “keep Grandma off the street, take her to the casino” but same difference 😆

    Female Guinea laying but not sitting

    I don’t know if chicken broodiness translates to guineas but with chickens you can’t just expect them to sit on a clutch just because there is one. When they are broody they will set. Following along since I have designs on getting guineas some day

    Making Lemonade [Selective Culling Project - very long term]

    This is the chicken math no one tells you about before you get chickens. A few years ago I let three broodies hatch and I got ONE pullet out of two dozen eggs. She fell off the roost dead before she could lay a single egg.

    Gender of 6/7 week old polish & buff orpington

    Most likely the buff is a cockerel but their combs develop early and it can be misleading. I won’t comment on the Polish because I haven’t the first clue about those goofy buggers. I had a Polish cross cockerel for months and had no idea 😆 Edit because I am tired and can’t remember the...
