This is how she described the hen.... We bought her from the Feed Store in Spring 2013. She was supposed to be a Barred Rock. Obviously not. Any clue what she might be? She's only about 2 pounds, lays very small white eggs, is very vocal - kind of whiny and very flighty.. Cute little thing.

I have read many posts on here regarding putting baby chicks outside, most seem to feel the chicks must be fully feathered. Here are my thoughts, and I would like to hear discussion on this. After observing my Broody Hen mothers I realized these chicks do not stay anywhere near 95 degrees on...

Hello All, I have incubated my third batch of eggs, to find I have a lot of fully formed chicks that do not hatch. Candle on day 18, see movement and then they just seem to die, up to 50%.. These have been my eggs, bought eggs, and shipped eggs, so it has to be something with my incubator or...

I received this rooster from a couple that was moving, he is beautiful, good with the ladies and very protective with out a mean bone in his body. My hens are 100% fertile. The people I got him from said he was Polish and Silkie. I find this hard to believe as he has a slight game bird look...

I have 5 chicks and am anxious to see their development

I have a small slash pile near my coop. I have been noticing lots of mice. None of my chickens seem interested in the mice. Is there any threat here? Should I worry about how to get rid of the mice? Answers appreciated.

Day 1: Broody chicken is discovered, she is flattened out on all the eggs in the coop, and fighting others for their eggs. Rolling and moving all eggs into her "clutch". We take some eggs, but replace them with fertile eggs. Day 2: She is still stealing eggs and other chickens are moving her...

Last year I started with some young chicks who were unfortunately attacked by what I think was a chicken hawk. After that I got some full grown hens. I have learned over time they are Buff and Black orphinton. We have 6 of these ladies and picked up an Easter Egger from a neighbor who's other...
