So I have a long story, with many mistakes. I know I made some mistakes, and already feel terrible. (TL;DR at bottom) This started the first week of July. One of hens went broody, and after unsuccessful attempts to break it, on July 17 I decided to get 6 fertile eggs from a friend and let her...

So awhile back I had this egg from one of my hens, and I thought it was pretty weird... But I just found this in my chicken run and I'm a little concerned...is my chicken okay? They're all acting okay.. I thought I was pretty read up on chicken stuff but I must have missed something! Here is the...

Hey there! I was planning on getting some chicks this spring (the aforementioned breeds), and when I went onto the hatchery website, it said it was sold out until June! :barnie :he Soooo....I am looking for good quality (but not necessarily show quality) hatching eggs. I would need them in...

Before you say anything, I already feel like an absolute idiot...I was putting up the electrical cord for my water bucket and when I stepped off the ladder I was using...I stepped onto a chicken! It squawked so I didn't fully crush it but I think I heard a pop. It got up and is running around...

Next spring I am planning on getting some bantams. I know I want to get 3 mille fleur d'Uccle and 3 silkies. I was going to get the mixed silkie color box from mypetchicken, but now I'm not sure. So what color variation would I get with the diff color silkie x mille fleur d'Uccle? I'm not sure...

This started last week sometime. We noticed there were four guineas on the (quiet) road behind our property. We knew whose they were as we'd seen them before waaay up at the top of their pasture. For some reason since then they've decided that we are their new favorite place. They still sleep at...

I am starting a thread where everyone can post pics of the weird eggs they get, because every chicken owner has gotten that egg that they just have to stare at! I usually get a wrinkled one here and there, but I just got a doozy this morning! So I'll start the weird egg thread with this one...

I am thinking about building a bantam house next year and was going to try some new things with it since it will be smaller(I don't plan on getting many). My basic design that I'm tossing around is frame of pallets (we have tons) covered with painted plywood with a floor and just sit it on the...

I had these leftover bookmark blanks and a chicken wire stencil so I thought I'd share my bookmark that I made with them☺️ here are directions for making your own! Supplies: Artist pastels or dark chalk Bookmark blanks or thick cardstock Paper Stencil for background Stencil for letters...

I have been thinking about trying to breed the "perfect" chicken for me. I want ones that look pretty, are cold and heat tolerant, and are friendly. I was thinking about getting a silkie rooster but can they breed with normal chickens? I know they are a bit smaller (at least my cousin's were)...

I recently saw a picture of a mfd'u (my abbreviation- it's a long one to type) and absolutely loved it! (I'm a sucker for pretty chickens) I was wondering, what is the best place to order them from, can I keep them with my regular chickens, and do they have the same space requirements as normal...

Hey! As my name says, I've had chickens for four years, but I definitely don't know everything. I have 11 chickens now, but I have owned 24. I'm not sure on any of the breeds except that I have two Silver Laced Wyandottes. I think I have two Barred Rocks and at least one, maybe more, Rhode...

I am thinking about raising meat chickens sometime in the future (not sure when yet) and my brother mentioned that he wants to grow meat pheasants...is that a thing? If so, could they be raised with my meat chickens? And what is their butchering age? Like, could they be butchered at the same...

It may be a little late to ask this as I don't have the chicken anymore😟. About four years ago I ordered Silver Laced Wyandotte chicks from tsc. I got twelve. I know that Wyandottes have the lovely rose comb instead of the single one, but one of my chicks got a single comb. Knowing the rose comb...

Help! I went out to my coop this morning and and found one of my March-hatched (ordered from tractor supply) chickens all fluffed up and laying down on the floor of the coop. I thought maybe she was cold since it dipped to freezing last night so I set her out in the sun. She just lay there with...
