Hi everyone! I'm in need of some advice, my flock is struggling with frostbite and we aren't even into our super cold season. The coop is 5x4 ft. and about 3ft. high inside. We have two 5ft. roosts, and four vents, one on each side of each roost. Two vents are about 3x5 in and the other two are...

Thank you everyone for your help! I think I'll definitely keep him for a while, I really love him, he's super sweet. I think I just needed a little reassuring that he'll mature.I just got a little discouraged the other day about him getting frostbite for the third time and as he's my first...

Ok! Thanks! I'll try to keep working with him! I've resecured the entire co-op and spread predator wolf pee around regularly. So it's secure without him. I just need an alarm system as the last flock was killed quietly.

Yes, it is the double digits negative a good bit here. And I know they don't have too much control over getting frostbite, but, I meant in the context that the hens will tuck their heads under their wings and the rooster refuses to do so. I have to have a rooster as we have several foxes and...

I'm about to get some chicks to add to my flock and I was wondering about replacing my rooster. My rooster is a complete coward. He's the kind who will hand one of the hens to a fox to save himself. Also, he has no idea how to take care of himself. He has gotten frostbite for the third time this...

Yesterday he was fine, and the lowest temp. was 7°F. I think it probably is frostbite though, thank you!!!

[/IMG] My Rooster, Faramir, has gotten a wierd, orange,crusty, something on the ends of his comb. The brown on his comb is dirt. But, can anyone help me with the orange? Is it Frostbite? Is it fungus?

I think you're doing great! The only thing I'll warn you is this is a picture of where a fox drug out our chickens through a small gap. He also dug about 10" down in three places, but we had wire all around so he wasn't able to get in that way.

Do I look like I need a bath?

You do realize that driving without a license for a fluffy butt is a serious criminal offence and violaters are subject to a $5,000 fine and loss of feathers for up to a month??

Sir, I'm going to need to see your drivers license,insurance, photo ID, and a picture of you in a chicken costume.

I have a 4week old RIR roo and I keep seeing that I shouldn't make a pet out of him, I just want him to protect my 8 pullets and to be nice to people, I thought holding him more at young age would get him friendly? Please help! P.S. right now he runs and chirps like a coward every time I try to...

Awesome!!!!

You, shall not take my corn!!!
