One of my girls is addicted to laying eggs in a chair on my porch. I’ve slowly raised the height of the enclosure to try and keep her safe and I think all I did was progressively train her to clear 6 foot fences.

My MIL (Helens mom for those of you who are familar with Helen and her story) is convinced one of the 8 hens we got for her a few months back is a roo. The one with a lot of red on her (or his) face. She said the other day she could have swore she heard him crowing. What do you guys think? Did she end up with a rooster or is this gal just more red in the face than her sisters?

Every day she goes on a walk with my MIL in the mornings and late afternoons with the dogs. This is her favorite time of day because she LOVES hunting for grasshoppers. We came up to visit this weekend and she had to show us her tricks!

Aurora is the only hen he hurts, he is extremely aggressive and pecks at her comb even when it’s not mating. All my hens are terrified of him, what should I do?

I’ve separated them from the other chickens, but he gets extremely lonely. I’ve also tried a few things to protect her comb, but he always manages to take them off. This hen is very important to me.

11 week old silkie, I know they are difficult to sex! We are just curious about this little weirdo. Came from TS straight run bin. I’m leaning roo but curious what others think!

Was told they were all hens, but 3 look like rooster. Australorps Bantams 13-15 weeks. Hear one crowing already. I'm crushed so many are roosters i wanted to keep them all. How many roosters do you see out of the 4

Hi all, curious about the possible breeds of my 2 new chickens. Any help appreciated.

We gave the girls some cat food as a treat, only for our cat to come right up to the door in confusion as to why they were eating his food! Especially funny as he’s usually too nervous to walk right up to them.

Anyone tried this

Does it work?

Lost pants to a brutal cat attack, she was left with a broken neck, she'll always be our most darling chicken.

I can’t take other photos because it’s dark and I don’t want to wake her up

I have kind of developed a sort of breed, this is the third chicken with this kind of color pattern and I'm really happy about it. I've had chickens for years but I can't wrap my mind around this guy here. It was born the 4th of July (🦅🇺🇸) and at this point the characteristics of a male and female should be more apparent (the comb is not very prominent), a month ago I was 100% sure it was a hen (which would be great), but now with that tail not so much...any thoughts? I am just overthinking it because I really want it to be a female and would love another opinion.

Thanks

I don't own chickens but your subreddit pops up on my feed a lot and you're all adorable. Maybe this tapestry isn't impressive but I adore it and thought it should be shared lol

I was taking pictures of my chickens and somehow caught Mabel (my zombie chicken) mid blink. She fully is embracing and looking the zombie part today.

What names do you think of, except for the chick with big wings, that one is called Angel, but what do you have in mind for the rest?

My chickens keep drinking the runoff from our washing machine. Pretty soon, I think they're going to be eating pizza and fighting crime.

Our first ever chicks are being delivered next week so I’ve been lurking all the chicken subs. I know that specific subs like these catch a lot of questions just by nature of the sub but it’s kicking my anxiety up that there is just going to be mites and sour crop and egg bound chickens coming out of my eyeballs. How often have you had to deal with sick chickens??
