    Black Jersey Giant thread!!!!!

    Ok, I'm back. I have 2 jersey giants and I think they are both roos. Are there any distinguishing features or traits? I don't want to wait until they are of crowing age...I want to re-home them ASAP if they are roos.

    *Buff Orpington Thread!*

    I have 4 buff's roughly 12 weeks old. I've noticed their faces starting to get more and more red in color as the days go on. Should I be concerned about something? They are all acting fine, eating, drinking, playing....just want to make sure.

    Head balded and pecked to skull. How do I treat??

    I have my 9 week old chicks kept seperate from the adult hens and the pecking is still happening. I just need to keep up with what I'm doing a hope for the best. They have plenty of space....I guess it'll remain a mystery.

    Head balded and pecked to skull. How do I treat??

    UPDATE: It's been a week and she's healing nicely! She's still kept in a seperate cage in the coop so she's safe but still near the others. I'm hoping to let her out for a little while with the other this weekend so I can be home to keep an eye on them. I've also purchased pick-no-more...

    how often do i need to clean??

    DON'T USE LIME! Chickens will eat it and it's not good for them! If your worried about smell try coop n' compost by manna; I found it at tractor supply. You put it down in the coop before the bedding and it's not harmful to the chickens. Another suggestion...check out the chicken chick, she's...
