I ordered a couple of chicks that arrived yesterday. They are all in good health except for a Sultan, who has a slightly crossed beak. Is there anything I can do for that? She's eating and drinking, but I know it may cause problems in the future.

1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.) Sesame, my 10-month-old NH Red pullet, usually a heavy bird, now very skinny. 2) What is the behavior, exactly. I saw her drooping her head and closing her eyes a couple days ago. This...

I found this little girl (hopefully) at Agway. She was a bit lethargic, and was pasting up, but I fixed that and she is chipper as a chipmunk now. What color is she? She's off-white, a little"pinkish" but with some blue/white highlights. I don't think she is white. Either splash or buff, I...

My feed store has chicks, and I noticed some weren't doing so well. I offered to take them home to try to nurse them back to health. They said yes on the condition that I keep them. (seeing as my coop is full, I"ll give them away.) One chick had a pasty butt. Some warm water and a hairdryer...

Laid by Sesame, the New Hampshire Red (hatchery quality, though, I shoud probably accept now that's she's some sort of Production Red), This is egg is HUGE and elongated. Pics to come!

just paid a "visit" to my backyard, where she proceeded to harass and chase my free-ranging chickens! I was watching and my own dog was there, so nobody got hurt. (Well, my dog doesn't mind the chickens, but he is a retrivever, so he doesn't help much.) But I was VERY angry at this dog...

Goose already laid fer egg this morning, but decided she wanted to shuffle about in the favored box. Shuffle, shuffle, tap the fake egg, shuffle. Fish wanted to lay her egg, and was waiting impatiently outside the favored box, growling. I moved the egg over, but Fish still wanted that box...

Half a dozen from Spork in a week: Good job, girl! And today I got another egg color: pinkish-brown! Will post pics later to decide what breed did it (torn between NH Red, BR, or EE)

It's green. Pics to come...

Do they hatch? I just discovered that my King Kullen sells them. If they do hatch, has anyone had any experience with this? I'm not going to do any hatching anytime soon, my dad won't let me and we also don't have space right now, I just wanted to know degree of sucess, breed, etc. I plan on...

My little Polish pullet is picked on. Somtimes I find her head bloody. She's timid and shy. But recently she's been getting bossier. She can stand up for herself! Yeah Cricket! She makes a cute little "oot toot toot toot toot" niose! Oot Toot!

Finally, finally finally. Goose squatted today!

I was free ranging the chickies today and heard a great squeaking noise. I looked up and saw hundreds of birds flying around in this huge ivy-covered tree in my yard. It was NUTS. They would all fly in together, and then more would come, and they would flap around in the leaves, doing...

Two of my pullets have black spots on their combs. Fish- Easter egger pullet. 5 1/2 months old. Pea comb. A couple small black spots- maybe 5, very tiny. Sesame- New hampshire red pullet. 5 1/2 monts old. A couple small black spots- maybe 3. One or two medium spots. One large spot...

Some pics of the flock: This one is dedicated to Barbara Big-Butt: Happy Winter!

For wearing a Santa hat.

I saw MPC's Sultans... and fell in love. Why is the breed not as popular? Then I saw Blue Splash Marans... and fell in love again. Unfortunatley, I have to sell two.... But the four (2 of each) are coming in May!!!

I'm copying the entire story into the first post. You have inspired me to write a story! I have checked most if not all of the other stories, and the one I have planned is pretty unique. Sorry if it seems similar in the beginning, it will branch out soon. WARNING: Do not copy my...

My friend is new to chickens... she has six 2-month-old pullets. She says that they're feeding them layer pellets mixed with chick feed. I told them that this is BAD. I told them that they should be feeding them grower (like me.) They said that no, grower is for MEAT BIRDS. We use the same...

I think I have a Jersey Giant. My Australorp, Fig, has always bee HUGE compared to the rest. Since day one. And she still is. EVERYONE says that she is huge. My best friend's little sister is afraid on "the really big black chicken. ." I don't care, I love her all the same... but it...
