So I ordered seven Bantam OEG's from Ideal Poultry, two bb reds, two silver duckwings, and three assorted. I ended up for the assorted, with one chipmunk patterned and two yellow chicks. Any idea what colors they could turn out to be? The red spot on their head is marking to identify the...

the past week or so, I've noticed one Hen after the next go after one of my buff orpingtons. all hens are the exact same age, different breeds, but have been together their whole life. in the past they peck eachother, but nothing to this extreme. they'll pin down the hen, Cleo, and one jumps on...

Noticed one of my girls is swollen between her wattles. it's bleeding too, I checked in the coop for any blood but didn't see any. How should I treat this?

So the past day or so, my hen Nyra has had somewhat of an impacted crop. she's been doing quite the intense "neck dance", and her crop is about the size of an orange. I can feel that it's somewhat hard, but mostly grit in there. I emptied her crop the other day as she was spilling liquid out her...

Ive looked a little bit online for places that "sell" ex battery hens, but they all seem to be in Europe. Does anybody know of any places in the US that have farms like this that rescue the hens?

I've been thinking about a friend of mine who had three Australorp x Silver Speckled Hamburg chicks by accident. Do any of oyu have some crazy looking cross breeds?

Currently, I'm getting hit with a snowstorm that's going to go until Friday night! As for my flock, I haven't opened the pop door and I won't until the snow stops. It's 10 degrees farenheit, and I wanted to bring my chickens about 2 or 3 cups of warm oatmeal. If I give it to them all at once...

My chickens are around 29 weeks, and still haven't reached full size. My biggest hen is about 5 lbs, but compared to a friend of mines chickens (who are 2+ years) Isn't even close to their size. Why haven't my chickens grown? They shouldn't be bantams.. I have: 3 buff orpingtons 4 white...

I have 13, 13 week old chickens, and they've eaten all the grass that was in their run. So they really don't have anything in there to peck at and eat besides the occasional bug that flies in or any fruit I give them. I've let them out all together maybe two times, but never let them go anywhere...
