I know that Roosters are hard to get rid of, but here goes: I have 2 roosters that were mis-sexed at the hatchery and I already have a grown rooster. I thought I wanted another roo, so I took the Barred-Holland from a friend who had too many roos because of the incorrect sexing. The RIR was a...

I added 4 new girls (rescues dropped at the farm - sigh) to my flock about 3 weeks ago and one girl (Ginger) is being beaten down badly by a hen from the existing flock (Mary Lou). Poor Ginger hides under the coop and will lay flat (beyond submissive) while Mary Lou is around. The worst part...

Hello All, This bird was brought to me today as a rescue. I have it quarantined from my flock. Another poster said that it appears (from the pictures) that there is something wrong with this bird. Droopy eyes...she did seem to want to "sleep" today, but I figured it was from all the...

I have no idea what happened to her, she had no discernable injuries, just a small amount of blood coming from one eye and her mouth. We wonder if she was trampled by a horse...our flock gets to free-range on a 10 acre horse farm. RIP little girl.

Hi All, I'm a total "city girl" living in rural NC that wanted some chickens for eggs. I have some friends with a 10 acre horse farm that I had been talking to about putting a coop on their land with 2 or 3 chickens, so I could get my feet wet (chickens are not allowed in my neighborhood)...
