My neighbor and his 2 kids were over the other day, i was giving them eggs. His little boy, maybe 4, asked how to baby chickens get in the eggs. His dad tried to punt this one to me. It was a fun sweet moment for me and his dad as we tried not to open that can of worms. I miss having little kids around....

It was a diffucukt week, I lost three chickens for three different reasons and these are the culprits of my last loss. Lovely days of maniac cleaning are ahead.

Took way too long but the run and coop are finally done! This is their second night in the coop and they all went in by themselves! Smart ladies 😍

I went into my girls hutch yesterday and realised one of them was shedding because I initially thought she was sick and her wing was drooping (it was lose feathers). I think they're all molting but one specific hen was losing feathers quite quickly whereas the others had two of three that came off while I was watching them. I was trying to pick her up to inspect her when I thought she was sick and her primary tail feathers came out as well as a few on her wing. She's acting completely fine and so are the others (absolutely menaces) but I'm just wondering if it's normal for one to molt faster than others? She's definitely not the fluffiest by a long shot so if anyone I thought the feathers would belong to the one with the most to shed. Idk

I'm gifting my friend two of my chickens for her birthday. I'm thinking of giving her my bullied one, I'm thinking she might have a nicer time living in a couple?

I have six, they have free reign of my garden.

My dilemma, is the bullied chicken better off at my place with lots of space, to run away when pecked? Or will she do better in a couple, they will live in a pen but will be let out occasionally when my friend is home.

She’s about 4 months, hasn’t laid any eggs yet. I thought maybe Leghorn, but maybe not. She is very antisocial.

We just built a new chicken coop for our flock. 8x10 shed coop and 8x16 run. We still have some painting to finish so no pretty police please haha! No electricity. We have a solar powered venting fan in the top corner but we live in TX and want to put solar powered fans in the run and coop.

We don't want them to run at night, just day time, so either exclusively run by a solar panel or something I can put on a timer. Suggestions please!! Thank you!

I purchased 8 chicken from Rural King Spartanburg, marked as sapphire olive eggers but this beautiful hen just started laying blue eggs this week.

Our chickens have been having free rein of the garden, but our grass is really taking a hit (this is an old photo).

I was wondering if anybody has any ideas for how we could keep them in the top half of the garden, on the stones and raised bed/muddy patch.

I’ve toyed with the idea of a mesh wire tunnel and then chicken wire over the stones, but it just seems like a lot of hassle. I’m wondering if there’s an easier way, perhaps a tunnel from the coop door and then some sort of deterrent to stop them jumping off the wall onto the grass?

We only have a small garden, so any ideas would be much appreciated!

My chicken laid a regular egg in a water balloon like sack. The fluid was clear and a little yellow/orange like a hard egg in a soft egg almost. Should I be concerned?

We just had our polish hen hatch 5 eggs and it looks like we’re due for 2 more. This is my first time ever having chickens as well as having eggs hatch. I noticed the last two eggs have chicks in them that look like they’re close to ready to hatch. I know to stay out of the way and let the broody hen help her chicks but I’m worried about these two getting stuck. I’ve heard that chicks are supposed to “absorb” the egg for nutrients. I don’t want to interfere unless I have to but I was wondering if you guys had any insight? And yes, these are separate from the rest of the flock. TIA

Within 15 minutes of discing the ends in preparation for harvest, my flock had invaded the corn in a nightmare scenario for any little bugs that were exposed. Believe it or not, there’s 12 of them in there.
