A lady my son knows will take the chicks and raise them for me. And when they are bigger, and my kennel is ready for 2, I will get either a male and female, or 2 females. The lady eill get the rest. I'm happy.

I took you up on that idea! My son will have his friend raise them till they're bigger, and when the kennel is converted to hold a male and female, he will give me back 2, and his friend will keep the rest for helping out. What a load off my mind! With Easter coming up, and feed stores full...

Sorry I was away from the site for so long. Life got busy! The problem I had worked itself out. I found out the Roosters may pick on any hens who don't allow them to mate. So after the pullets were a month or so older, he accepted them. Hope things work out for the new Brahma chicks my son...

:/ I was given a small rooster and another larger hen that a family didn't want. The family's other small hens were snatched by animals. I have 3 other hens about the same size as the hen, so they get along fine. But yesterday my son decided to surprise me (by text) that he bought me some...

GGood to know but I gave this first one to my dog, who didn't complain.

Can you please clarify whether the greenish eggs are safe to eat?

I had Roo and one older hen, for a couple years. But a month ago, I introduced two new pullets to the yard. At first the older hen really moaned her disappointment, and one of the pullets slept outside for two nights. I put her in the coop the third night where they stayed from then on without...

I have strawberries, tomatoes and lettuce in my gardens each year, and the hens love to fight over the strawberries that I toss their way! They hear my door open and see me walk onto the deck, and come running from all sides of the yards to get treats. If I get to many tomatoes to eat right...

My schnauzer has been eating the eggs, busted him today. I went online and bought a half dozen wooden eggs, so I ca retrain my hens to lay in their coop where they should be laying, and then the eggs will be out of reach. We can hardly blame the dog for finding a little treat that is so tasty...

So what will happen if she has 4 roosters? Will there be major problems, or learn to figure it all out among themselves? This is the reason I haven't let my eggs hatch... I needed an answer first. Now that my lab died, the chickens have the yard to themselves... So there is room for more birds.

No, she isn't young. She is old enough to lay eggs.I called the seller, and he said it sounds like she has a cold, and offered to take her back. I thought she was a Bantam, but turns out she is a Black Americana Showbird. I really like her, and she is starting to get adjusted, but if she is...

We had a terrible downpour yesterday and while most of the time my new Bantam was dry, she is sneezing today. She also seems like she barely makes a peep when she opens her mouth, though its obvious she is trying. The man who sold her to me said I could bring the chickens back if I had any...

I just bought mine Yokohama yesterday and she is very sweet. I an able to pick her up and hold her in my arms without any difficulty. The other four hens are pecking at her quite a bit so I let them out in the yard to roam and leave her and my little Bantam in the pen.

I recently lost one of my hens, and I suspect an owl or hawk, since we live near some trees in back of the house. We have two dogs in the yard, so I know no animal got in, and didn't see any feathers or hints that one of the dogs got her. I finally got around to getting a replacement, and ended...
