yesterday was there first day outside. the have been in my barn. in a huge brooder I built them. noticed it yesterday as soon as I put her out she acted like that

I have 6 barred rock chicks that are nine weeks old. one of them seem to be listless and has poop on her.i cleans it off last night but it was back this morning.all the others are find what does it sound like it could be and what can...

I had my mom let my hens out today around 10. When I got hone at 5 I did a head count and noticed I was missing one. I found her gutted under the nesting box and whatever it was pulled her out of the nesting box. Everything else was...

I have seen on here you can use a heating pad as an alternative to a heat lamp. If I decide to do this what setting should it be on for chicks 3-4 weeks old. Is there anything special I need to put over it and will pine shavings hurt it.

I came home yesterday afternoon and found one of my Barred rock hens sprawled out gasping for air and I noticed a lime green discharge coming from her vent any idea what this could be

I have a hen that has one eye closed and one eye is cloudy. What can cause this and what can I do to help her

Will leaving eggs int the nesting boxs temp a hen to go broody. i would really like some more EE but i dont have an incubator.

I was wondering if anyone has crossed an EE too with barred rock or a RIR? I am trying to get some biddies from my flock and thats what I have would love to see some pics if possible

I really want to hatch out some eggs since i have a new EE Rooster but none of my hens seem to want to go broody and im not sure how to do the incubator deal. is there anyway to get a hen to go broody or will i have to buy a incubator?

I have a jungle fowl that has gone broody. I have them in the pen with my standard chinkens. How many eggs do yall suppose she could sit on to have any success of hatching out? i want her to sit on my easters eggs to hatch them out.
