Last week we noticed our rooster was acting sick. Lethargic, not eating and slumping down. I removed him, gave him antibiotics in his water with electrolytes for 2 days or so and he's all better now. Moved him back to the flock and noticed this morning my bantam frizzle is acting similar...

I have 2 coops.. My main coop has 9 hens.. In my smaller coop I have chicks that I got this fall. (3 bantam hens, 1 EE hen and 1 BCM hen and a BCM rooster).. I think the rooster needs to move to my other coop so he has more hens to mate with as I'm worried about him with the bantams. I...

I was advised I should separate the new chicks I just got in the mail from my chicks that are now 6 days old.(only 2 chicks are 6 days old). I know pecking orders happen fast. Last year when I later picked up a chick and put that chick in with chicks I already had for a week.. I didn't...

I noticed today that my incubator stopped the automatic turning so figured that meant it as time for lockdown.. My Brinsea countdown is on 2 days and the turner is off.. so I took out the eggs really quick so I could take out the turn tray, add paper towels to the bottom and add more water...
