Fresh from the Coop

Bro was born in 2026
## Meet Bro: The Early Riser of 2026! Get ready to cluck with excitement! We're thrilled to introduce Bro, a remarkably early rooster born in 2026 – a true testament to the unpredictable joys (and occasional surprises) of chicken life. Submitted by /u/Punishe_Venom_Snake, Bro's arrival has sparked quite a conversation, and we’re egg-cited to share his story with you. He’s joining a growing flock of fascinating feathered friends featured here, and his early crowing is already proving to be quite the conversation starter! Speaking of surprises, you might enjoy reading about Cruella and her persistent broodiness, as detailed in our recent article, "Say hello to Cruella and her new babies!!" – a reminder that even cold water baths can’t always deter a determined hen.
missing chicken
## The Case of the Vanishing Hen: An Update Our community is buzzing about /u/ComprehensivePost701's perplexing predicament – a beloved chicken has mysteriously disappeared! After diligently observing her daily, this chicken vanished for four days, only to reappear with a nest of three fresh eggs (confirmed via the buoyancy test, naturally!). Could she have a secret, undiscovered nest somewhere in the garden, despite a thorough search? It’s a real fowl mystery! The user is treating the investigation like a police case, questioning neighbors and seeking clues, desperately hoping for a safe return. While predators aren't the concern, the possibility of abduction looms. For more insights into chicken development, check out our article, "Hen or rooster? 18 weeks of age.

Need help
## My Hen Can't Walk – What Should I Do? Oh dear, a motionless hen is never cluck-tastic! /u/VinylDevin is understandably concerned about their chicken’s sudden lack of mobility. It’s wise to consider Marek’s disease, especially with the absence of other obvious symptoms. However, a sudden onset of leg weakness can stem from various causes, ranging from injury to infection. Don't chickening out on seeking answers! We understand the worry – these feathered friends are part of the family. While we can’t provide veterinary diagnoses, we can offer guidance. Keep a close eye on her for any additional signs, and consult a qualified avian veterinarian as soon as possible.
My chickens peck at my feet when I walk near them, and especially into their coop
## Why Are My Chickens Pecking My Feet?! Is your flock greeting you with a flurry of pecks at your feet, especially near the coop? You’re not alone! It’s a common, and sometimes startling, chicken behavior that can leave you wondering if you’ve somehow offended your feathered friends. While it might *feel* like dislike, it’s usually not personal – more likely a combination of seeking attention, anticipating treats, or even a little bit of playful dominance. Don't worry, even with a rooster who prefers to announce his presence with enthusiastic roos, you can manage this! We’ll explore the reasons behind this foot-pecking phenomenon and offer practical solutions to keep everyone – including your soon-to-be-walking son – safe and comfortable.

My chicken... Her name is Babli. She has become a mom for the first time 🐥🐣🐔🪶🥰

It’s an egg-citing time for the whole flock! Becoming a mother is a big deal, even for our sometimes-unpredictable feathered friends. We know the joy (and maybe a little bit of the chaos) that comes with new arrivals. 🐥🐣🐔🪶🥰 This heartwarming moment reminds us of the incredible personalities chickens possess – some, like Scump, highlighted in our recent article, "Anybody have an unusually sweet and personable chicken who wants to brave the danger?", are truly exceptional.

A formal apology to Frankie.
## A Heartfelt Apology to Frankie (and a Cluck-tastic Update!) We owe Frankie a sincere apology. A few days ago, we publicly questioned our favorite hen’s dedication (and even her gender!) due to a late start in the egg-laying department. We went too far, and Frankie has proven us delightfully wrong. This afternoon, amidst a celebratory cacophony, she proudly presented her very first egg! It wasn’t precisely where we expected, but the sentiment—and the egg—are undeniably *egg-citing*. See Frankie’s momentous achievement, alongside comparisons to her flockmates’ eggs (brown Barnevelder vs. cream Wyandotte), in the photos above. Good girl, Frankie!

Say hello to Cruella and her new babies!!
## Cruella's Chickening Out (and Lessons Learned!) Meet Cruella, and her surprisingly small brood! Despite our best efforts – including a chilly bath or two – this determined hen refused to abandon her nesting duties. After six eggs, only one chick successfully hatched under Cruella’s care, a heartbreaking reality compounded by the loss of three others to her coopmates and one tragically failing to emerge. We quickly remedied the situation by introducing Cruella’s lone survivor to a few new feathered friends, who she readily accepted. This experience taught us a valuable lesson: broody hens require a different approach, and future broods will be handled differently! For a glimpse into early crowing behavior, check out our recent piece, "Just two months old chick started crowing 😂."

Finally got them to eat out of my hand!
## A Cluck-tastic Milestone! Hand-Feeding Success! Huge congratulations to /u/thetreeshateme for reaching a truly *egg-citing* moment!

It’s a testament to patience and care, and a heartwarming sign of a blossoming bond between keeper and flock. Getting chickens to trust you enough to eat from your hand is a real victory – a testament to creating a safe and welcoming environment for your feathered friends.

We're thrilled for this small but significant step towards a cluck-tastic relationship!
