    Hen Walking Backwards with Head Down

    I'm so sorry! I haven't been on in a long time! I had a baby a year ago and she has kept me crazy busy! I never did find out what caused it, but I still have her, and she's healthy and acting fine!

    NY chicken lover!!!!

    Hello! I'm having the hardest time finding a silkie hen and a "lavender" colored hen of any breed. Seems like chickens are getting harder to come by these days! I'm in Schenectady County.

    Hens or Roos?

    I was not aware of that - only roosters have this color?

    Hens or Roos?

    I guessed cockerel, cockerel, pullet. Where did I go wrong with my guess?

    Upstate New York

    Hello. If there is anyone in upstairs New York that is rehoming or selling a Buff Orpington and/or Silkie hen, please let me know. I'm looking to add to my flock. Retired non-layers are welcome. I love my girls and will take very good care of them!

    Disturbing Egg

    Sorry I didn't get a picture. It was too late. I was so nauseated I had my husband throw it out. It was a meaty looking hunk in the egg white. The yolk was normal and undisturbed. This was likely a meat spot? I've had the little bloody meat stops before but never a solid mass! I'm just...

    Disturbing Egg

    I recently adopted a new hen. Today when I cracked open one of her eggs, there was what looked like a chunk of meat or sausage in the egg white. I didn't take a picture because I was horrified and almost threw up. I've read about lash eggs and I don't know if this was that or not... it didn't...

    Please keep my girl in your thoughts. Sorry for another long post

    Oh the poor baby! I'm so glad she has a good home with you. So many others would have just put her down. People don't understand when I say my girls are pets. They just see eggs and food. I hate the jokes people make about roasting them. How would they like jokes about eating their dogs? She is...

    My Beautiful Sue

    I lost my first chicken to a predator. I would like to post in her honor. Sue was a sweet 2.5 year old RIR. She was very mouthy and sassy, yelling at anyone who disturbed her while laying her eggs. She was definitely a protector. She always sounded the alarm when she saw someone she didn't...
