I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo mad at the hatchery. OMG. I ordered this bird back in March for an early July delivery (I ordered a started pullet...a black star to accompany Chickie who is a red star). When I was supposed to get her in July, the hatchery told me there was a mistake...

Given opposums are about the same size of a cat, would they pose much of a threat to a grown chicken? I know chickens can defend themselves OK against cats, but unsure about opposums. There's a new critter in the area and has wandered into the yard where Chickie is at, but she's asleep in...

Most basic descriptions fail people. Generally because the encounter with a snake is usually seconds long. They'd rather take off when they sense you coming near them or if they do strike, do so very fast. You cannot always go by markings and you may not be close enough to see if the snake...

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/06/world/americas/06poison.html A different chemical...a different use...a different industry affected by another deliberate "substitution" contamination from ingredient supply companies in China to fake the original product in efforts to increase profits.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/05/01/AR2007050102071.html This is the very reason why I avoid buying whatever food comes in from China and not only have these people deliberately contaminated food, but they did it to rip people off. Now there's going to be millions...

How many days without an egg should I wait before suspecting something might be wrong? Thanks

So what is the secret to peeling the shell off of hard boiled eggs without shredding it to the yolk??? LOL...

I have access to crickets, mealworms, waxworms, silkworms, fruit flies (wingless too), blackworms, earthworms, etc. Is there a limit to the amount of meat protein to feed to a chicken? Insects are high in protein and having commercially available bugs can help during the colder months when all...

Are they noisy too? Just curious. Thanks.

I would love to hear from anyone who has accomplished training their chicken to do a neat trick or two. I'm tempted to train Chickie being she's very attentive when I got the can of greens and bugs in hand....

This morning she was fine...even got an egg this morning. When I got back home from class, I saw she was favoring one of her legs and was hobbling. she can still walk on it. I felt both legs and did not feel any oddities and there's nothing she can get caught up on in the yard. There is no...

OK...so I never thought I'd own a chicken, but one found me last week and I'm just endeared by her. Thank you everyone here for helping. They are very efficient critters. She follows me like a dog when I go out with a cup of fresh cut greens She'll even run after me...lol, but I'm really...

Yep...I rescued a chicken. She's a very friendly chicken...wings clipped, very clean. Anyone can walk right up to her and pick her up without any resistance. I came home from campus and saw the guys that were working on the plumbing outside had a new friend. They mentioned she's been hanging...
