On July 4th a polish broody hatched 3 chicks. She remains very protective and mean to one particular hen(her mama). She will not permit the older polish hen to leave the coop. She remains relentless with her to the point, I have to keep food and water inside the coop. The other flock mates go...

My neighbors bantum Cockerel not at his full sexuality yet has been visiting with my Big Girls for two full days. He has two sets of girls on his own property. But, he is now trying to hang with my "Mean Girls". He doesn't come near me and I trained my GSD to "Leave it" as she didn't like him...

I live on the Space Coast of Florida. Appox 45 minutes ago, I found my laying 1 1/2 year old RIR Hen standing by the ac. When I picked her up, she felt like a balloon. Then, a large amount of odorless brown liquid projectiled from her beak and I swear liquid poured from her eyes. She attempted...

When I inspected my 25 week old Silver Lace Polish Pullet, I noted a scab on her left foot. The scab came off easily and bled good. I soaked her foot in Epson salts for 15 min to see if a kernel was there. But, I dont know what Im truly looking for. Please advise. @casportpony @Wyrop Rock...

21 week old Silver Lace Polish. Flat crop tonight, sluggish. Helped her onto the roost. I noticed her stool is loose. Her face smell yeasty. Here is a picture of her mouth. Not laying yet. I am feeding her electrolytes, scramble egg and yogurt right now. Poor thing..

Sometimes, people ask about the crop and how do you know if its empty or full. Well, here is are pictures of a full crop after having free access to Purina layer pellets and free ranging. They have two hours left before she will enter the coop to roost for the night. In the morning, her crop...

It has come to my attention, that some members do not list anything in their "about" them section. It's weird because it's as if they are hiding from someone or something they don't want to disclose. The only information you may know about them is what they post as their "Avatar" picture...

I have a loud at night "Great Horn Owl" that lives high in my trees somewhere. I will see him/her in the evening with a long snake or rodent in its mouth. Question: I have two 15 week Polish pullets. The coop and run are under a Huge shaded Oak tree. As of today, they are in the outside run...

I would like to add a Solar Coop Fan. I live on the Space Coast of Florida by the Kennedy Space Center. I do get some ocean beeze but, it's still very hot and Sunny. Plus the girls said it would be nice to keep the night air moving. I've been doing the research and do not want to add an attic...

Look what my co workers got me. It's official!!! Thought you need a laugh.

My neighbor has a Frizzle Cochin Bantum Cockerel that has been crowing now for three weeks. He Free ranges. He does have at least 8 of his own pullets. But, she has three different flocks going on and they all free range. He come over to my fenced but open top run crowing near my girls in the...

8 weeks old. Polish Silver Lace. Her name thus far is Becky. She and her bff jibber jabber making sweet soft sounds together. Do you think I need to change her name? My thoughts are...Pullet

Graphic Pics. I have 1 Black White Crested Polish Pullet. She was in the run as shes been for two weeks now with 6 laying pullets. She is 8 weeks old. Loads of room, and secret hinding places BUT, I found her and her female mate together in an open corner. Her neck was torn open. Here are...

It might be too soon but both Polish will be 6 weeks old this Tuesday, June 16th. I'm thinking my White Crested Polish is a pullet and my Silver Laced Crested Polish is a Cockrell. What are your thoughts?

I finally figured out who is laying the olive green egg. Its Sunshine! Aka: Sunny. Yay

3 weeks ago, I went to Tractor Supply and fell in love with these two little chicks that were just delivered- Did even eat yet. Straight Runs. I think they are Polish Crested. Whats your opinion. I have six laying pullets so, I'll be integrating these soon. Here are pictures for your opinions...

Here is a picture of my 6 pullet flock. Ive been routinely getting 5 eggs. But, for two days now, I get 6 from my girls. Im trying to figure out who is the likely candidate for the olive green egg? Three brown eggs? and two blue? Thank you? I dont have a camera in the nesting boxes to see who is...

As a new chicken raiser, I am baffled by what my neighbor disclosed. Her husband put Amdro, used to kill fire amts all over outside. The problem is she allows them to "Free Range". I love the idea but, the chickens eating the Amdro(Fire Ant killer granules), I just dont know what to say. Do...
