Thank you! I'll check in the morning!

Thanks!! He lost his long tail feathers a few months back, we were bummed! Will they come back??

Thanks!! He gets along with everyone, even our 2 other roos, he's just a happy, little fella! My daughter is going to have a blast showing him!

Hi! Just looking for some help on IDing this little guy we have. My daughter is interested in joining 4H and showing him, however I'm not sure what breed he is. His name is Phil and he's the friendliest little guy ever! Is Silver Duckwing Old English Bantam a possibility? TIA!!

I would love to be able to give my girls organic feed but have not been able to find it close to me either. I have been feeding Purina SunFresh Layena for about 3 years and have been very happy with it. All my girls are super healthy with shiny feathers and bright eyes. They also get all our...

Yes, I have one roo.....

I have a RIR that is 9 months old. She is a happy chicken but some days (today for instance) she walks around really crouched down so low that her belly is practically dragging on the ground. When she does this she also slightly wiggles her back end. Sometimes she'll walk sideways while she is...

I have a 3 week old Barred Rock Pullet who seems to be itching more than the others I have. How much is normal preening and itching and what is excessive? I was down watching the brooder for about 3-4 mins and she did it the entire time. Under her wings, her behind and her chest. I have...
