She is in the dog crate because she is sick. She was making this sound for like 5 minutes straight. When she was done she made a few regular cocococo and went for a nap.
Hello!
I am wondering what could be up with my hen. I will try and share all details so far. Just trying to get an overview of what could be going on. Perhaps others have had similar experiences? She is a bantam cochin, born end of october 2019.
The day before yesterday when we went to close...
Just found this in the run, tried googling some and wonder if it might be a lash egg? Or something else? Any ideas?
Not quite sure from which chicken it came, no one is looking ill, but there has been a bit of runny poop lately. I guess my first route of action would be to identify who it...
I temporarily have two roos that we brooded out, and they are like 19 weeks I think.
I have praised the hen that brooded them out for being a fantastic mother, but now I think it's time to give some credit to hen number 2. She makes sure they understand that they are lowest in rank, and they...
I'm totally in love with my little barnevelder girls, I think they are so pretty. Who else has (bantam) barnevelders? Which colour is your favourite?

DAY 1
After setting up a little coop, we went to pick them up from a guy who calls himself "the chicken specialist".
The...
Found these two poops in the coop today.
I have 3 days of chicken experience, so I figured I'd make pictures and see if anything similar shows up tomorrow. But you all are probably more familiar with what's unusual, perhaps you have some thoughts?
Number 1
Number 2
They are both a bit mixed...
Hello!
I'm completely new to chickens and just got 3 little ladies on saturday.
Now I'm curious to what colours they are in chicken terms! Also, as they are 14 weeks now, I'm curious whether they will stay relatively like this or if the colours tend to change (like, will Kali typically get...
Hello!
I am Marta, and I have already been checking out backyardchickens a bit in the last weeks, trying to learn very fast how to take care of chickens. And now the chickens are finally here I decided to join!
I am new to keeping chickens and just set up a run in the backyard where these 3...
