    What could this be?

    Woke up to a bunch of feathers laying in the coop and saw this on two of my chickens today, they both have this exact same thing. Does this look like molting or are they pecking out the feathers? Have had my chickens for about a year and have never seen this. Any tips and tricks are wanted!!

    Is my hen broody?

    Hello, my 6 month old rhode rock hen laid an egg today morning and rolled it under her. The egg wouldn’t have been fertilized as we don’t have a cockerel. We put in some hay for her and she made a nest around it and sat on it for around 20 minutes. Then she started trying to escape and I let her...

    Is it legal to keep a wild turkey in the flock if they joined in on her own?

    I have a couple chickens in my backyard (loads more being raised right now) and a female wild turkey decided to lay her eggs in one of my bushes. She spends most of her time on her eggs, obviously, but she seems to enjoy the chickens' company, and she even crouched for the rooster, who then...

    Iceberg Lettuce HELP!

    Help! I grabbed a head of iceberg lettuce and gave the chickens a few leaves and let them peck at it. They ate less than a half of the whole head. I’m reading now that it is toxic to them. What are signs I should look out for?! I’d hate if something happened to them. I didn’t know!!! Please help!

    Importing Hatching Eggs

    Has anyone ever imported hatching eggs from either the UK or Germany into the US? Is it even possible or will I need to ship live chickens? If it was possible what did it entail? There is one breed that I really want but cannot find in the states

    Hen or roo?

    A few days over 3 weeks. Smallest of all my bantam chicks. Comb and waddle is slightly bigger than my other barred rock bantam but I’m not sure they’re the same breed. Pretty sure this one is a Barred OEGB.
