Hi, I have a 12 week old pullet & have had it in a cage inside the chook run to allow the other chickens to get used to it. I have let it out about 3x. It has been tolerated for about 1 minute. Then the hens peck & chase it. The Silky rooster, who is pretty good natured, also chases it to my...

I think its so funny when my daughter bends over near the chook ramp the 3 girls (7wks) all hop on her back. I think theyre trying to get away from Mr Big Man (Roo)...real name Rocky. I have to pop him in the garage every sunset then take him out again at a reasonable hour in the morning so...

Hi. I recently got a Chinese Silky Roo from the animal welfare here in Australia. I have 3 Bantam pullets about 4 weeks old. The rooster is already in the coop & the girls are still in the brooder. Can I ask when do the girls come into 'season'? Is there a 'season' or are they fertile 24/7...

The hen made it through the night. She is eating, scratching, walking, standing & preening herself. She just isnt raising her head. She can stand upright, but cant raise her head upward with beak pointing to the sky. So it looks like she is always looking down. The other two chicks can lift...
