To your question “I don’t have enough time for what?” I don’t have enough time for baby chicks. That’s why I explained we would be looking for pullets. Baby chicks take a lot of my time to raise. Unfortunately my time is spread pretty thin these days. I just don’t have time to spend 20-30 mins...

I’m down to 3 hens and 1 rooster and need to beef up my flock again because my girls are currently still not laying any eggs. I won’t be buying chicks because I just don’t have that much time but we have been told we can buy pullets locally and usually at a discount price. I am also thinking...

This morning I woke up to find my youngest face down in the hen house. I’m not sure what happened she seemed to be fine all week long. We just started letting them back out in the yard because the weather has started to get nice. This is the second time this has happened on the past two months...

I know they are so hard to rehome and I don’t have the heart to turn them out or anything else, but they are causing all sorts of problems in my hen house. I know they have to go.

I have two teenage rooster and that’s two too many for our small flock for four. They’re extremely beautiful I would have to have them go to a good home who would love them or breed them. Our community around here doesn’t really use Craigslist and I haven’t gotten anyone interested in Facebook...

That would be so cool

Thank you guys so so much for helping me out! He is currently up for rehousing because we have to many roosters in our flock right now. A lot of people were commenting on how pretty he was so I was going to attach some more photos of him. I’ve also included some pictures of his brother. The only...

So I have this new rooster he’s about 5 months. He’s a cross between Easter egger and a sliver laced polish. Polish is the daddy. He has purple spots on both sides of his face. Idk if it’s from pecking order or if it’s like his ears? Or some sort of skin disease? I’m going to attach the best...

I walked outside to check on my chickens this evening and to my shock and surprise there was a baby chick! None of my girls have ever been very broody but it looks like they pulled one over on me! I’ve identified the mother and it seems like she doing a good job taking care of her. The other...

We went to collect our eggs today and got two misshapen eggs. I did some research and they seem to be “checks”. I don’t really see my girls fighting with each other or anything so I’m wondering if this can be caused by the heat? We are having a small drought and it’s been 90° almost every day...

I called my local vet yesterday morning. I explained this situation and told him what I was doing to treat it. He said everything I was doing to treat it sounded good but didn’t give me any sort of time frame of how long I should wait to see if it’s getting better. Is it better to do it right...

I believe theses are blue polish. I have silver laced and wasn’t able to determine sex until one started crowing. The females tend to be noticeably smaller then the males though. Hope that helps!

One of our girls was attacked night before last. The culprit was not caught. But we suspect a raccoon got ahold of her. She been bitten really bad on her thigh. I’m not sure if the leg is broken or dislocated or if it’s from the bite itself but it’s completely immobile. She doesn’t flinch or...
