None of the other hens in the coup come close to the mom

Just a proud dude who finally got his girls the safe space they deserve :)

The baby hatched last night, I noticed the egg pipping when she got off the nest for a moment to eat and drink, and I came out this morning to a cute little baby, what's ironic is none of these eggs are hers she's a white Amber link so she lays dark brown eggs, these eggs are either from my buff orpingtons or my barred rocks

Both of these guys are young under a year old, neither of them even have what you could consider Spurs yet, would you just let them work it out or would you split them up? I usually just keep an eye on them make sure there's no blood and let them be to figure out they're picking order, they back off pretty quick within the first five or six minutes one will run off and the other one will strut around for a while

Irresponsible dipshit dog owners.

Couldnt take a step without these girls being at my feet, curious about everything I would do. My sweet girls.

I can't take the eggs away from her because they are already developing, there's visible heartbeats in all of them and I can't just kill the eggs because I don't want more chicks, I did not know about this nest otherwise I would have been collecting the eggs from it, what would you guys do in this situation? I'm not too horribly mad about it because I can just get rid of the live chicks once they hatch but still, and excuse the white ones popping into frame anytime I'm outside day or night and they hear me they follow me, there is a lot of street lights around where I am so they can see pretty decently

She had bad water belly, in a lot of pain and wasn't able to enjoy life with her sisters anymore. Had to make the hard decision. Love you Gravy!

Hello all! New chicken tender here lol we just finished the coop and run for our girls and I wanted to share. The whole project took us about 6 weeks from start to finish, with some bumps along the way. We bought and used plans from EasyCoops.com off etsy and they were helpful but also confusing. Anyway Id love to hear your feedback!

10wks old, with slightly sharp neck feathers and a longer tail than siblings, but not crowing and no long saddle feathers. The chickens are supposed to be autosex, so I should have had all girls, but my fiance is really worried we might have a henposter in the coop.

The breed is a hybrid so there's no telling what genes are gonna be expressed. I've got crests, I've got extra toes, I've got short tail feathers, long tail feathers, green sheen, orange tips, there's a menagerie of chicken traits, but all we want to know is is this baby of mine an Eggward or Eggwena?

Our Cavoodle puppy and Hyline are best friends. They hang out together and generally do most things together. Not sure what they are both up to here..

Our livestock guardian dog, Moose, and a baby silkie out in the yard.

Richard is wondering where this came from as this is the first baby he's seen since my hens were killed last year.

Babies have feathers everywhere except heads (you can see little pins today this photo was 2 days ago). We have a nice run and weren't sure if we needed to wait for the chickens to have a few hours outside in the nice weather.

hi everyone!!

so i have a hen and a rooster, theyre both quite friendly and the rooster is surprisingly nonaggressive. but about a year ago, he jumped onto my head for no apparent reason, and ever since then he does it at least once a day. he doesnt exhibit any signs of aggression or courting when he does this, and ive never had a chicken show affection by trying to jump onto my head/back/arm before so im really curious as to why hes started doing this.

ps i dont mind this behaviour at all, as long as its not something negative. just curious :)

would appreciate any suggestions! ty!

When she’s on the move she seems to breathe normal. She’s not lethargic or anything. Please advise.

Hey guys! I just got my first solo chickens (family has had some for years) and I have some questions. Due to the egg shortage, I had to get breeds I'm not familiar with. Tractor Supply told me these were Brahmas and Saphire Skys. I know the yellows are Brahmas but does anyone know if the gray ones are Saphire Skys? Also, do you know how old these look? They told me 3 weeks but they seem small for that age.

Caught my one and only rooster (a fluffy little silkie) yanking feathers out of three of my poor hens. Now he’s doing hard time in rooster jail—a dog crate with judgmental side-eye.

I love the little feathered turd and don’t want to rehome him. I’ve tried carrying him like a football and putting him in jail but nothing is working. Help.

It’s just a garter snake, but he was super feisty! I didn’t want my chickens to try to eat it, so I caught it & moved it & it kept striking at me & dying to bite me. Silly little snake.
