    Chicken foot injury or something else?

    Hi, I have a chicken that I am doctoring before I give her to the person who took the rest of my flock recently. This chicken went through molting while the other chickens were still here. All of her feathers grew back except for the ones on her neck and breast. The other chickens started...

    Need to re-home my flock of 8 chickens (S.E. Ohio)

    I have a small flock of 8 hens. They are not free-range chickens but I am sure they would adapt. The exception would be the White Crested Black Polish hen and the Buff Brahma. Their names are Lenny Kravitz and Elvis (They are both hens, btw). Those two are co-dependent on each other and went...

    I need to re-home my chickens. Is there anyone near Athens, Ohio who can take them? They are good little laying hens with sweet, funny personalities.

    I am no longer able to care for my chickens. I will be moving at some point soon and my health is not good. I keep falling all the time. I am heartbroken to have to get rid of my little girls. I am asking on BYC because I know you will love them as well. I have 9 laying hens. Two Pearl White...

    Do chickens mourn the death of their coop mates?

    My poor little “special needs” Polish chicken Squiggy died a week ago. She shared an “apartment” in the coop with her “sisters” Lenny a Polish chicken and Elvis the Brahma. The other 7 chickens livein a separate apartment. Squiggy always was a bit frail, especially last summer when she had two...

    Diatomaceous Earth

    Can anyone tell me if this DIatomaceous Earth is what I need for my coop and is it safe to put down in the pen for my chickens’ dust baths? I have so much run-off from the hill behind my coop that I need to dry it out. My husband picked this up from the local mill that sells feed, supplies,etc...

    Can anyone tell me what’s up with this egg?

    :confused: I found this egg yesterday evening and now another that is all “wrinkled” this evening. I threw it away before I thought to take a picture of it. It actually looked like one of those wrinkled Chinese dogs.😳 They are from two different chickens. I recently bought a different brand of...

    Happy Easter 🐣

    The girls didn’t get jelly bean eggs or Peeps, but look how excited they were that I bought them a big new bag of scratch for Easter! They all ran to the fence to get it! 😂 My dad got me the pretty egg basket. Notice that he wrote “it’s ok to put all your eggs in one basket” 😄

    All the eggs are in one basket, I mean nest!😄 is this normal?

    My husband built in 7 nesting boxes for the 7 chickens in one side of the coop. Why do they all want to lay their eggs in one nest only? I have seen them waiting in line to lay their egg in the one box! (Imagine a line of women outside the bathroom waiting to use the one preferred bathroom...

    The Health Benefits of Dandelions

    I saw this article and thought it had some good information about dandelions. My chickens LOVE ❤️ the greens. I am so excited to finally see them growing in my yard. I was substituting them with kale this past winter. The dandelions are cheaper, LOL...

    Skyline Views from the Coop

    Last year, I decided to take sunset photos from the coop every few weeks or so. These are some of my favorites. 🌅

    My chicken pen keeps collecting run-off water from the neighbors behind us!😫 Any ideas on how to keep the pen from becoming a mud swamp?

    Our pen is built on a slope because that is all our yard is, one big slope!😩 We have it in a great location for shade trees and convenience for me to see the coop from my deck. However, there is just no way to escape the run-off! Every time it rains or a big snow melts, the water runs down from...

    My bossy girl Queen Roselina. She’s the epitome of a “Karen”

    This girl is the same one who walks in the ice water in the water bowl 🥶 She is so so so bossy. She has to tell everyone her opinion on any and every topic we talk about, even when it’s not about her!🤣 Her “Nosy Neighbor” attitude has gotten her in trouble before but she never learns 🤣:love

    My weird Leghorn chicken stands in the ice cold water. Is this normal or even ok?

    My daughter-in-law asked me if my leghorn Queen Roselina (named by my granddaughter), walks in the freezing water to break through the ice. I said that I have no idea, because she does it in the Summer and Fall as well. I just worry about her getting frostbite on her feet and legs. The...

    My sweet Barred Rock, Amy Farrah Fowler 🥰

    This is my sweetheart Amy Farrah Fowler. I love her so much. Back in May 2021, my brother and I ordered our chicks from a hatchery together in one order. We were each supposed to get a Barred Rock.... buuuuttttt.... He asked me to keep his for a couple weeks until he got back from a trip. Well...

    My silly Buff Brahma ❤️

    This is my girl “Elvis”. Don’t let the name fool you. She’s not a famous singer. I let my mom-in-law name her when she was a baby. She was hoping Elvis would be a boy, but luckily, she isn’t. ANYWAY!! I was attempting to make the hat you see in the second picture.... Nailed It!!!.... 🤔 Not so...

    Ameraucana?

    Can anyone tell me if this is an actual Ameraucana? I read recently that it is rare to get an actual Ameraucana from a hatchery. I got her because my grandson wanted a chicken that lays blue eggs. He named her “Cow”. LOL!

    White Crested Black Polish chickens

    Can anyone tell me if these are male or female Polish chickens? The Brahma is a female, I’m pretty sure... BTW, they are country chickens, not show chickens, hence the messy “hair”

    My broody chicken becomes aggressive when other chickens enter the coop while she is on the nest

    What should I do with my white leghorns that has become broody? She even makes a sound like a cougar when other chickens enter the coop (no joke).
