Hello I have a chicken who is very sick and I don’t know what it is. Her name is Blackbird and we just noticed weird behavior a day or two ago, but we don’t really know how long it has been going on. She is standing upright with her tail at the ground and seems unable to stand normally. She...

In this year, I’ve gone from 5 chickens to 7 chickens, so I think it’s time I installed a permanent winter proof run. My coop started as just the main area, then the roost was built, then the nesting box, then the A-frame. As a result, the coop is not so pretty with weird add-ons. The A-frame...

We have a sweet four month old blind Amber Link pullet that we don’t think we can keep and we don’t want to cull her because she is the most loving sweet chicken. We live in western Michigan and we really want to find a home for her. Please consider making her yours.

We have an injured blind pullet! We got them this spring and we have been trying to integrate them but every time the pullets are pecked and chased by all but one of our hens! Yesterday one of them did the hen “squat” and her comb is red, and the others are coming along so we know they are going...

Hello! I have many fun stories of our backyard flock. We have 5 hens and 3 pullets right now. We’ve raised chickens for over 5 years now. Our flock has had many adventures, from notorious escapees to lost chickens, bullies, misplaced eggs and more! Let’s start by introducing 2 members of the...

We recently discovered that our two month old pullet is blind. She constantly runs into things, pecks the air, and acts confused. She often stays in the roost most of the day, and when she does come out she is often left behind by her two friends because she can’t keep up. Even worse, we are...

We got Gracie at FF&H and their sign said she was an Auricana. She grew up, and she now lays cream colored eggs, not blue/green. She somewhat resembles an auracana, but clearly is not one. We think she must not be purebred, so she is only half auricana. Does any one know what the other half may...

I have 5 hens and 3 pullets (the pullets are living separately right now). We often find the nesting box covered in crusty dried up egg with other eggs coated in dried egg. Clearly, a chicken is pecking and eating eggs and then leaving a mess. We’ve found egg on some of our hens’ heads and...

I have 3 pullets that are two and halfish months old. I have an older flock of 5 hens we’ve had for a couple of years now. When we let them have supervised time together free ranging in the yard, the younger birds are often pecked and chased. When is the right time to put them with each other...
