Hello,
I have just bought a pair of Belgian D'anvers. Currently I already have silkie hens, a silkie cockerel, a legbar hen, a welsummer cross silkie hen and silkie cross light Sussex hens. Would they be able to live together with the Belgian D'anvers? Or as there is a size difference will the...
I have a broody hen who is sitting on 4 fertile eggs they are between 3 to 7 days old. I don't want any chicks because I may get cockerels so i want to take them away from her but would it be cruel? To both the hen and chicks inside? Any advice? Thanks!
Hey, I'd really appreciate it if you could read my first ever blog about why to get chickens and maybe share it or write some comments! I've never done something like this before so I'd like to hear your feedback here it is...

I have a 5 week old light sussex cross silkie chick, she was following me around the garden so I decided to make her day a little more fun and I started to turn pots over and I let her scratch around eating loads of bugs like worms, slugs, earwigs and small insects. (she now loves me and expects...
a lady is coming tomorrow and she said she might take a few of my roosters ( I expect I have Atleast 3 maybe 4) so I need to know if this little chick is a rooster! Any help is welcome! Thanks in advance!
My hen has been ill for about 4 days. She can hardly walk, she has her tail down and she has greenish poo. She is eating and drinking but I'm really worried! What is wrong with her and what can I do to help?
My welsummer hen is quite lethargic and is limping, she uses her wings to help her balance by spreading them out. She's eating and drinking but I'm worried about her. Also her crop feels very hard. What should I do? Thanks in advance!
I know my chicks are only 5weeks old and won't be able to live outside yet, but when will they be old enough to venture out into my garden? Thanks in advance!
I have a 3 week old chick who is breathing very heavily compared to my other one. It is healthy and isn't showing any signs of being ill, but whenever it breaths it's whole body moves up and down and it's 'chin'/under the beak puffs in and out- a little like a toad. The only thing I notice that...
I usually feed chicks chick crumbs but I have ran out of it and can only get some more tomorrow evening. What can I feed them in the mean time? Some of the chicks are a month old and the other on is a week old. Thanks.
I went let my chickens out of their coop, I checked on my broody hen and when she got off the nest to go get food there were six eggs under her. I haven't noticed them before because I don't like disturbing broody hens and as all of my other hens had stopped laying as they are also broody I...
I noticed this thing in my hens feathers. It kind of looks like where the feathers would grow but it is thick and slightly long. When I touched it a little big of watery liquid came out. What do you think it is? The pictures aren't very good as she kept moving sorry!
I was candling my eggs and I accidently dropped my torch on one of the eggs, I heard a cracking, turned the light on and the egg was crushed :ep there was veins and a tiny embryo slightly moving inside :hit I think it was about 12 days old. I feel so upset and really angry with myself :barnie :hit
I have a hen who is broody and has already got 2 chicks who are 3weeks old. She is brilliant at being a surrogate mum but will she accept another chick that is 4days old? Thanks for any advice!
