Thank you. I am rather new to raising chickens and really appreciate any info.

I "depatched" the young rooster. I had another young rooster and he has turned out to be very gentle with both "his" hens and me. A totally different temperament from the other rooster. I think sometimes hens just get into spats and with time settle down.

Thank you for the advise of how to treat her head and comb. I feel so bad for her. Today she is out with the other hens and has stopped bleeding but I am afraid of infection.

I have a young rooster that I really do not want to have to carry a stick to keep him from attacking me. He is 4 months old; was hatched from one of my hens. I am new to raising chickens. I have heard that you should pick him up and carry him around for a bit every day and he will be more...

Hi, I am new to raising chickens but am loving every minute of it. My husband, Gary, and I picked up 10 hens and 1 rooster last fall from a lady who had to move and needed to find a new home for her young chickens. We have a mixed batch of hens: 1 silkie (my love), 2 orloffs, 3 bantams, 2 Red...
