Hi, I just saw your reply. How is yours doing? Mine is almost completely blind now I think. I was away the last two weeks and coming back yesterday, I notice that the other chickens are shunning her and one even keeps her from getting...

Hi all, I noticed last Thursday that one of my chickens (a lovely Blue Laced Red Wyandotte) can't seem to see very well. I was handling out treats and noticed that she seemed very slow. I even thrust a piece of the croissant in front...

My Wyandotte has been laying eggs with double yolks. She lays every other day and it has been - thus far - almost always double yolked. We rather like it actually, though I wonder when it would stop.

Thanks All. The roos are all rehoused at a farm. It was tough, letting them go. I didn't realize just how attached I would be to these guys.   As to the fence, I got it from Omlet. http://www.omlet.us/

When does a chick reach adulthood? I've been getting some conflicting answers with regards to this. I have seven weeks old chickens (Five of them in good sized coop). Here - in San Diego - we have been averaging 40 in the night. I...

I had bought six chickens and raised them from a few days old chicks. After seven weeks, it looks like only two are going to be pullets (one died after a few days, unfortunately). The lady who sold me the chicks will take back any...

Alas! The lady I got the chicks from is very nice and helpful. She would take back the roos (but sadly, probably eat them at six months). Oh, I hope we all suspect wrong. I'm already attached to them. I don't suppose three roos can...

I have two Buff Orpingtons, two Black Australorps and one Barred Rock. I suspect one of the Black Australorp and one of the barred rock is a rooster. Even one of the Buffs may be a roo. Any opinions?   The barred rock in...
