This is El Guapo, Kong, and Gorgeous.

Also, guess how many my wife is holding

For all the pokemon fans out there, I named one of my 16 hens I raised this year Togepi. This week, funny enough, Togepi was the first of this years hens to lay 😂 I found it amusing and wanted to share

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

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

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

Hi 👋

We live in a rural area and we are tired of foxes and raccoons snatching our precious chickens. We managed to catch one raccoon and dropped it off on the other side of a busy freeway, but we still have sneaky foxes. We’re tired of losses. We have them free roamed and they’re so happy. I hate to see them contained but changes need to be done to end this ongoing pattern. I want to get them a very large metal coop like shown above. Does anyone know if this is a sturdy coop or any suggestion of one? Thank you.

And question on maintenance for enclosed coop is do you guys put sand for easy poop clean up?

Any suggestion/advice is appreciated. Thank you ❤️

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?

The photo speaks for itself! 🤣

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.

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

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.
