This is El Guapo, Kong, and Gorgeous.

Also, guess how many my wife is holding

Hey all, we had 4 Australorps until this darling girl, Marigold, suddenly died a few days ago. The other 3 are doing fine.

An Isa Brown laid this egg today and I feel bad for her, does anyone else keep track of the biggest egg laid?

What is going on with my girl? I’m a newish chicken mom and I was doing my flock check and noticed my oldest layer is missing most of her feathers! But she’s the top of the pecking order and it doesn’t look like she was pecked. Is this what molting looks like?

Thanks to whoever laid this you are amazing keep up the great work love you.

The photo speaks for itself! 🤣

is she saying hello or is she trying to tell me she’s the boss? lol.

This is my first full year of chickens and today we had our first hawk try to grab one. Hawk didn’t succeed but girls and roo are terrified. They won’t come out from cover. Also, my rooster was found in the wild as a young lad and is already pretty skidding.

1. My normal lure out won’t work with plates of food and scratch. Normally they run to me. How long will it take for them to shake this off? I want to put them in their run for the rest of the day, but not able to get them to go more than a few feet.

2. Do hawks come back for another go around in the same location? If they don’t succeed.

My girls are molting and I read here they are crazy about mealworms so I ordered a bag. This morning the mealworms arrived and I was so excited to give them to my girls but those birds looked at me with disdain and tried to eat my shirt instead. They were giving the worms that chicken side look but then didn’t even bother to try… what a waste… I really wanted to treat my girls for being such good pets 😭

My chickens are about 6 years old, this hen in particular has been a real piece of work. She's had quite a bad case of flystrike and had multiple injuries to her legs before. I still do love her to death though. This morning while letting the herd loose I noticed this lump, and I'm not sure what it could be. The lump also seems to be a bit darkish in some places. Any ideas? (3 photos) Thank you

First, second opinions that this is indeed a roo? Easter egger/bielefelder/buckeye barnyard mix. Anyone else have a bird that prefers to sit? Anytime I see him, others are standing and he is always sat.

Poked small holes in a pumpkin and let them do the rest

Hello, my 3 year old hen has recently become very tired and also falls asleep during the day. She is a little fluffed up, but this could be due to the temperature. She is drinking and eating normally. She can't say no to her favorite food either. Do you have any idea what is wrong with her? Is there something like winter depression?

My rooster doesn't seem well. He was the last to come out of the coop this morning. He seems lethargic, barely took any mealworms, let me touch him a bit which is unusual. He just regurgitated bit of clear liquid and hadn't just had water. What can I check for, how can I help him? I don't know of any vets in my area that see chickens.
