Last week my little white bantam named Salt was dispatched by a Cooper's Hawk. I have more than one video of the attack, but I am only posting this one which is not THE EVENT but right before it. The reason why I'm sharing this video is to demonstrate how good a hunter the hawk is. At one point...

I have an existing flock of one rooster and 11 hens; mixture of Brahmas, Barred Rock, and Easter Eggers. I went to the store and picked up 6 more chicks to grow the flock and have them in a brooder right next to the existing coop. 4 days later I suspect one of my hens is brooding some eggs...

I have a 14 chicken flock that has been happy until the last week or so. 12 hens (9 EEs, 1 Brahma, and two Barre Rocks), and 2 roosters (1 EE "Rocky", and 1 Brahma "Elton"). Elton is handicapped in that he has a limp from an unknown injury he suffered when he was a chick, but he gets along just...

I have an interesting mystery. My flock is 14 chickens; 2 roosters and 12 girls. Pictured is a good representative photo showing off my Brahma and Egger roosters and my 9 Easter Eggers, two Barred Rocks and one Brahma hen. They just started laying a week-and-a-half ago and it has been...

Hey gang! I used to have chickens and they all eventually moved on (spiritually and actually). I didn't replace them until we moved to an Acre-and-a-half (which is spectacular). I spent weeks building a mac-daddy coup and now we have 15 little babies. Inventory includes 2 Brahmas, 2 Rock Barres...

Got home from work and found Reba the New Hampshire Red with this shiner. Is this an injury from a fight or is this some kind of disease? Cosmo

Three days ago I woke up to let my chickens out and found one had developed a cough or a sneeze. It continued for a couple of days until I found a suggestion of putting garlic in their water. I had a clove so I tried it out. The next day... no cough or sneeze. I really didn't expect it to work...

I had 4 hens as of this morning. I let them out of the coop and all seemed normal. Two of my girls (an americauna and a new hampshire red) are dependable layers and did so today. I have a much older americauna who I call mom because she mothers the entire flock. In particular she loves to take...

My wife and daughter went to a craft show this weekend and came home with a new chick. She is a 7 week old Buff Orington and is cute as pie. She seems to understand that I feed, water and care for the flock better than my original chickens...I'm stuck on this chicken and she's staying. However...

I'm not new to the forum...I've been reading for a long time. I've just recently joined. I have 4 chicks; 2 ameraucanas, 1 New Hampshire Red and a bantam mutt that's still a chick. One of the canas is 18 months ( recently adopted), the red and other cana is 20 weeks. I'm looking forward to eggs...

I have 1 New Hampshire Red and an Ameraucana that are 20 weeks old. I recently adopted an 18 month old Ameraucana that was formerly laying. I moved her in with my girls and she is now part of the family. However, it has been almost 2 weeks and she hasn't layed an egg. Since the other 2 aren't...
