Thank you!

2 yr old RIR Hen has what looks like a pimple or boil on her foot. I don't know when it formed because I just noticed it today when she got out of the pen and went for a stroll. Its hard and when you squeeze it, no pus comes out. The orangeish part looks like the head of a pimple. It kind of...

I have 12 RIR, a leghorn, 2 barred rocks (hen and rooster), and an old bantam (who rarely lays). They are all around 18 months old. I usually get 12+ eggs a day. The last week I have only been getting 5-6 eggs a day. What could be causing this decrease? -They were locked out side for 2 days...

This chick was hatched Wednesday night. Had a really rough hatch. I though it was Splay leg at first but now I'm thinking it has a slipped tendon. Help?

How much should I give them?

No, I didn't put them in with my birds. We raise rabbits and you never put new rabbits in with the herd right away, so I figured it was the same with chickens. I was also worried that mine would pick on them more. I just got them yesterday, so they haven't laid anything yet. Going out today to...

Hello, Yesterday I "rescued" 15 hens. They are barred rock, leghorns, and RIR. They're only a year old. They appear to have been in too small of a coop all winter because the majority of them have had lots of feathers picked off of their backs and butts. They are also missing feathers on their...

Mine are not big fans of mushrooms and bananas.

HI, I have two broody hens that are sitting on eggs. The hens are both Cochins (they are bantams). The eggs are set to hatch any day now. This is my first broody hatch so I am looking for any advice. My two biggest concerns right now are if the other hens will pick on the babies once they’re...

I am relatively new to raising chickens. First of all, I'll tell you what I have. I have 11 TSC Red Star chickens. Not sure yet if any are roosters, their only about 3 months old. The other day I got 2 sultan hens and 2 cochin hens. I put the sultans in with the red stars right away and they are...

So, this is my first time with chickens and I have no idea what I'm doing but I think things are going okay. We got 12 pullets from TSC about 2 weeks ago. One died the first night :( but the other 11 seem pretty peppy. My profile pic is a picture of one from tonight. I'm surprised with how...
