Hello! I have a very determined broody hen who has been sitting on 4 wooden eggs for the past 5 days. I just butchered my rooster a few months ago so I don't have access to any fertile eggs. I was just wondering if anyone had 6 hatching eggs that I could purchase. I am not picky on the breed. I...

I went out to the coop this morning and found that my rooster has frostbite on his comb. It has been really cold here for the last few days but the chickens stay mostly inside of the coop. I just put fresh straw down and there is plenty of ventilation. It does not look too bad but I covered it...

I am looking to add 2-3 pullets to my flock. I would like them to be good layers and they need to be around 5 months old so that they are the same age as my other pullets. Golden Comets would be great but I would also be interested in Orpingtons, Barred Rocks, or Marans. Also, I am in southern...

I have 39 broilers that just moved outside to their tractor from the brooder a few days ago. When I went out today I found 3 or 4 poops with blood in them. My first thought was coccidiosis but now as I am doing more research I was thinking that it might just be shed intestinal lining. What do...

Hello! I am looking for a Silver Campine pullet to put with my Silver Campine cockerel. I am having a hard time finding a breeder. If anyone breeds Silver Campines or knows someone that does please let me know. Thank you!

I hatched a Silver Campine chick a few weeks ago. I think that he is crowing and is a rooster. I don't have any other chickens that are his breed and I have another rooster so I don't know if I will be able to keep him. However, since he is the only chick that I hatched, I don't want to get rid...

Hi my name is Marissa Humphries. I am from Ohio and I enjoy showing dogs in 4-H. Last year my family got our first chickens. Their breed was Cornish Rock cross. We raised all 20 of them in our garage for 6 weeks. We had them processed and ate them. They were so much better then frozen chickens...
