Hello! My name is Chianne. I got into birds a few years ago, I started off with three little baby call ducks( Anakin, Mando, and, Chewie. I then moved on to 6 Welsh harlequin hens and two drakes (for a short time) Ghost, Psy, Houdini, Runt, Goose, And, Maverick. They now live on a 100 acre farm...
First time I had a young chicken with a broken leg, it was limping around. She must have landed wrong on something the night or morning before. Luckily a vet I know also treated birds, so I took my hen to be checked.
I was given three options; put her to sleep, have an expensive operation or...

Good afternoon, a couple days ago I bought some hens two are about four years old and one is a year old. I’d love to know the breeds they somewhat resemble, the lady didn’t know anything about them.
So there is the white standard with black dots, I think she also has heterochromia but I’ve...
One of my Roosters a Sapphire Gem and one of my Prarie Bluebell hens got the job done and just hatched this little one ! Not sure if any else has cross bred these 2 but excited to see how she turns out ! I assume there’s a chance she will be an olive egger??
Welcome to my wannabe homestead, also known as a backyard with chickens and a garden. I decided to show what it's like starting a garden & flock from scratch. Pullets are still growing, seeds are still being bought, and a lot of pre-planning is happening. My flock is on half an acre with an HOA...
My entire flock of hens and runner ducks stopped laying eggs when we changed the coop around, and I was getting almost 2.5 cartons a day. I introduced a younger rooster and wondering that was the problem.
I’ve given them some gut health medicine, cleaned all the waters, fresh bedding laid. So...
Hey there! So the nesting box that we had was admittedly not ideal, but I had to come up with a solution for our coop type (that’s another story) but in a pinch, I used a domed cat litter box with hay/shavings in it… it worked well enough, except it got gross… quickly. The silly chickens in all...

3rd is our speckled Sussex again comb/ color has been the same
4th is our...
My hen pulls and eats my roosters feathers around his chest? She does it to every rooster until she leaves a bald spot ? Is this normal and is there any way i can avoid her doing it ?

Hello. I’ve been a chicken keeper for a few years now.
But I have a question as I haven’t done this part before.
I have a hen who went broody. She was sitting on a few eggs and I left her to it. A week or so ago I’m guessing some of my other hens left eggs in her box when she was out eating...
Hi! I have a couple older hens who need rehoming (not urgently): a white cochin and a buff brahma. the cochin is a sweetheart (i have picked her up and pet her all her life) while the brahma can be a bit of a bully. The cochin does not reliably lay eggs anymore but the brahma does lay eggs...
