I just bought 3 new chickens that are a year old. One has this big spot of missing feathers around its vent and the skin looks irritated. I sprayed the Vitrycin stuff on it just now but my main concern is that maybe its a disease that can spread to my other chickens? I isolated the 3 birds for 3...

Something is killing my chickens. I have lost 5 in a week and a half. The chickens that were killed by this predator all have the feathers and skin on their necks ripped off. I know its not the chickens killing each other. I don't think its a racoon because nothing else is ripped or torn on...

I was told I was getting buff Orpingtons but 2 weeks later I noticed one has hair on its feet and the other doesn't. I am confused. What breed is this?

I just put my 2.5-3 month old Easter eggers in with my fully grown birds. Poor things are getting their *** kicked. I am having a tough time trying to tell if they are roosters or hens. The pea combs are so small period that I can't make out the roos. Please help! What do you think.

So I'm in the Middle of the hatch and I come home to notice that there is about 8 chicks all in the incubator that are just laying there and seem like they're dead. I opened up the incubator and put one in my hands and it just seems lifeless it was breathing a little bit and churping but when I...

I have Amerucana/Easter Eggers that are 2 months old. I sell them as straight run but I would sell more as pullets. The problem is the Pe Combs are small regardless if it's male or female so it's hard to tell. How can I sex them now and at birth? The roo is a Lavender Amerucana and the hen is a...

I have a beautiful Lavender Amerucana rooster. Out of all my roosters that I have had this one is the most noisy. I tried putting a no crow collar on him but that doesn't help really. Should I just take it off? I have read online and found no answers or solutions. I have only 1 rooster, I keep...

My birds keep roosting on the best box. I put a big piece of wood over the top of the boxes at night and now they just hang on the little lip on front of the nest box. I have a perch that is slightly higher then the boxes but a chosen few still roost on the boxes. Then I saw one go up there...

I am waiting for my new Lavender Amerucanas. One of them will be a rooster. The two birds attached are ones I kept from a hatch I did. They are both Black Austrolorpe and White Leghorn mix. I'm afraid the black one is a rooster! What do you think? They are about 2 months old and I only want 1...

I want to purchase some genuine Lavender Amerucanas. Does anybody know a reputable website or South Florida dealer?

I have a black astrulorpe that is acting broody? She is laying in the best box on some eggs and it's night time now. I want to go pick her up and grab the eggs. Is that going to cause a problem anyone?

I have a beautiful pure white arucana and it is now giving green eggs. It is fertalized by a white leghorn. I just borrowed a lavender arucana to breed them. How long until I can incubate the eggs and be sure they will be pure arucana?
