thank you so much to all that responded.I will keep posted.

By observing our other chickens, I dont think he is puffing up. Isnt that when they are scared or defending themselves? We have not moved. The only new chicken was born Nov.10th. She is a banny and her mother was too. But they were not in the same coop. Her mother disappeared a few weeks ago...

Hello, I have a littel banny rooster ,his name is Romeo , he stays in a secure area with his mate and two other bannies, they are caramel color with black spots. Romeo looks like the chickens they call American. Anyway, he has been looking bad, comb has gotten lighter, and his beak and face look...

we have a rhode island red rooster, since the freezing cold temps here in Georgia, we noticed he has health issues. They do free range, but we kept them in there coop. He might not have been in there though if he was hiding in the cow barn. His neck seems swollen and he cant lean down to eat ...

We have a banny chicken she has hatched her first baby on the 10th of nov., however, the other nine eggs havent hatched yet. A couple of times the little baby got away from her and the eggs might have gotten a little cold. We moved the eggs out of the box and on the floor of her cage with the...

Thanks , your advice is very helpful.

Thank you so much! We have starter food so no problem. Will the baby chicks grow to be big or stay banny size, ? I will keep posting.

Thank you for a quick response. all of the eggs are hers. So if we leave the door open to her cage, she will leave and then fly back up to the nest? The cage is about four feet off ground and about 6 feet long and three feet wide. Or can we just leave her in there with her food and water until...

We have a banny hen that decided to hide all of her eggs in the hen house between the wall and a box that is attached to wall about 4 feet up. She started sitting on them, but there would be no where for the babies to go once hatched. Anyway, we relocated her with her eggs into a cage that has...

Thank you, we are really confused what it could be. In this case there were no feathers or anything. We have lost chicks before but there were feathers. We check on them often and have pie tins around etc. Going to get scare crows today. Also, we have a brooding hen, lost a nest about three...

Had a snake a week ago trying to get in the cage where hen is sitting on eggs. We killed the snake. Today, we checked on her like we do often in the day, and saw that she was going crazy running all about. There were 4 less eggs than in the morning. There are no openings in the cage. Just where...

Thank you. A few weeks ago, I did hang those plastic containers with moth ball stuff inside , it is a hard disc kind of like a toilet bowl cleaner thing. I hung them around and the smell goes through the air. We probably have a wild cat out here too. I will get more. Thanks for advice.

Hi, Oscar here. We have a hawk and crow problem. Just lost one hen about 6 months old, she had wry neck but could almost fly and she could eat and drink. Think a hawk might have carried her off, also, missing our 6 month old American game rooster same family. He was healthy and strong and could...

We ordered Black Jersey chicks from Mcmurray Hatchery, they came as little yellow chicks, they are a month old now, but we were on the internet and I guess they are supposed to have come with black feathers, understandably so, I think they sent us the wrong ones. Will the color change? Thanks

Thank you, since we have the room, we will probably give them their own space.

Hi, we just bought 6 two week old chicks (new Hampshire Reds) and are receiving 15 more 1 day olds from McMurray Hatchery on Tuesday, Can we put them together right away? Or the age difference is too great. Thanks for all of the information everybody gives us, making our chicken raising...
