Hi everyone! My name is Ashley, I'm 25 years old and I live in Baltimore, MD. My neighbor and I take care of her 5 chickens together. She has had chickens here and there for a few years but recently I've found myself very intrigued and loved by them. I spend a lot of time with them making sure...

Hello BYC community! My name is Jess, and I'm a newbie here. I've been enjoying the threads on this forum, and have gathered so much info about chickens, coops, breeds, and so much more over the past 6 weeks. This really seems to be a helpful community, and I look forward to meeting new people...

My name is Julie & I am greeting you from Denver, Colorado. I have had chickens for almost 6 years now. It started out for the eggs, and grew into a full-blown obsession! I have 1/4 acre that the girls free range..... did someone say spoiled??? I currently have two "geriatric" RIR ladies & one...

Hey everyone. This is my relatively old Rhode Island Red hen. (We think she's 2-3) Just today I've noticed a dark, small spot on her foot. It is not firm, like common bumble foot, but I can't figure out what else it might be... a cut maybe? There is some redness around the spot. (the picture on...

(NE North Carolina) We are new at chickens. Our first flock was purchased in March 2018. It was pretty cold when we purchased our first 10 RIRs, so they were living in an ever expanding cardboard box "condo" in my office and we hadn't built our coop yet. When I noticed their dust baths were...

I've got a leghorn and three road island reds. Very young, not quite six months old. I get four eggs a day. Four chickens, four eggs. Everything seemed normal. Today, after collecting eggs, I thought I'd continue spoiling my little feathered friends with crickets and mealworms. One of the RIRs...

Comb not as big as age-mate crowing roos, tail less prominent, but built differently than the obvious hens... Supposed to be RIR, per TSC... Thanks!

Looking pretty cocky to me... what do the eggsperts say? Slightly smaller bodied than my other RIR, not aggressive at all, very talkative.

Okay. I have 6 RIR. They are 2.5 months old. No issues with any of them not retirning to the coop until this morning. I didn't do a head count last night, and this morning i realized i was misisng one. She finally found me once it got daylight and i cried my eyes out. Tonight, same girl isn't in...

I am going to being getting (4) 4 month old RIR pullets this weekend. I am new to the chicken world, but ever so excited to be here after wanting, wishing and waiting for years to get to this point. These girls are coming from my daughter's school that needs to down size their flock. I was...

Hello! I am new to BYC and new to raising chickens.... I have a micro-flock of 4 at the moment, and wonder if they all look like hens to others with more experience... I have: 2 EE's that are 12-16 weeks old 1 Rhode Island Red that is 12-16 weeks old 1 Buff Orpington that is 8-12 weeks old Here...

Hello to everyone here at BYC! My name is Diana, I'm 35, and I am new to having chickens. I have been coming to BYC for info and research on chickens in general, and now that I have owned my micro-flock for a few months, I decided I should join the community and become more involved.... I...

I have four Heritage RIR hens. I bought them last summer when they were about 5 months old, so they are now about 18 months old. I’m still getting what I consider to be medium size eggs (middle egg) at best. Another thing about them is that every two or three weeks or so I get one small egg that...

So i have 8 RIR's and they have figured out they can jump/fly over their 4ft high run fence. Question is, would it be best fer my girls if i go higher fence or a cover net?

I currently have 15 RIR eggs under a broody on about day 8. I just candled them with our new Brinsea high powered candler only to find that not a single one had veins or any other definite sign of growth :hit. My guess is that they were unfertilized due to my rooster not feeling his best. The...

Im not 100% sold this is a roo... the comb is slightly bigger than my other RIR but it’s nkt really red. So I’m wondering if there is a slight chance it may be a hen. About 8/9 weeks old

Here's the story: a few nights ago, I was running around with my rir in the yard, and she was eating some grass, and being chill. all of a sudden, she went limp, she couldn't stand up and her comb turned purple. she couldn't stand up at all. so me and my friend took her into my side shed to...
