Hello! I have a 3 year old bantam silky rooster. About a week ago I noticed he had a lot of poop stuck to his butt, but it did not seem like a huge issues. Then, yesterday, I saw him squatting and trying to poop but was not able to. He was making a very sad clucking noise and i could tell he was...

Hello Everyone! I was considering getting a turkey, but only one. First i want to know if turkeys are like chickens, in the aspect that the males are louder, less friendly (GENERALLY) etc... So basically if hens are better to keep, how do you pick a female turkey? Also, I was wondering if...

My chicken that i wrote about earlier's comb has perked up but now she lims severly. one of her legs doesnt even seem to be working. she hobbles- but she is still eating, please hELP!

I was just outside with my 9 chickens, and one of my 2 year old Red Sexlink hens looked ill so i sat down with her on my lap. Her nostrils looked very dark, and her comb very droopy and purple. She was extremely light, and it was obvious she wasnt healthy. She just vomited on my lap and it was a...

So obviously I want more chickens. I have nine, and they are wonderful! One group is 2 years old, the other is one. The first group were a little bossy and mean to the second group, and they still take the reins in the henhouse. All nine of my girls have been hens (Thank goodness!) And I really...

Hello! I have a 2 month old Americana pullet. Today I was out at the coop and noticed her right foot's middle toe was twisted inward. It didn't extremely severe, but I want to know if it's broken. I know a pic would help,but I just can't get it together, right now. Thanks in advance, Jenny...

How come no one is at the Chatroom Ball? Join US!

Experienced the rude visitor, who while backing out of your driveway (which you told him not to drive in to anyway) will respond to your "Oh, I'll just stand here and make sure that you don't run over my chooks" will "Yum, Chicken!" It totally gets on my nerves! Is anyone else in the same boat?

What is an okay temperature for 2 month old baby chicks to be outside? Thanks, Jenny P.S. One is a cochin, one is an Americana, and one is a Barred Rock

Are my birds okay? Recently they have been laying a lot of eggs, all are hard shelled and normal. Today my 6 hens laid me 9 eggs, one of them being a double yolker. Wow, I know.

MY CHICKEN JUST SWALLOWED A CHERRY PIT! SHE IS ABOUT 1 YEAR OLD! WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Silken. Just imagine it. Turkey/Silkie. Wow, I am so proud of myself for coming up with that! Jenny

Okay, so I came up with a new (for me, at least) treat for the ladies. I take a handful of frozen blueberries outside and set them in the sun for 5 minutes. When I come back, they are still cold, but not too solid. The chickens actually take them from each others' mouths. Try it! BTW, does...

Okay, new game. Everyone lists 10 animal breeds that they want. Then the next person has to choose one of the previous person's animals and explain why they would choose that. You have to choose 10, though. I'll start: 1.Black Copper Maran 2. Blue Laced Red Wyandotte 3.Speckled Sussex 4.Golden...

Black Copper Marans and some Blue-Laced-Red-Wyandottes! Anyone selling? jenny

sorry if this is in the wrong section, but i was wondering about a craigslist ad. It is selling BCM chickens for $100.00 a pair. That seemed expensive, but am I just weird? Any opinions are helpful. Thanks jenny

Ok, so this morning we got 6 eggs from our six hens! That's perfect. However, this afternoon, we got 4 more eggs! I am positive that different chickens laid the eggs, too! 6 for 6 is great, but 10 for 6? should i be worried? they are all hard and big! this has been happening often, lately any...

I think that this is in the right section, but Im not sure. Im just wondering how old my three new little chicks should be before they are introduced to the six big girls. Any input is appreciated, -jenny

I think that it is great that BYC has created a pamphlet for the "Save A Chick"idea, but i wish there was more I could do. I got to thinking about it, and i thought maybe we could have a festival kind of thing. I know that our members are very scattered, but we could figure out where most...
