My bantam pullet is brooding three eggs for the third time this year. I tried to break her and was successful a few times but at the end she won. I don’t want to bring her inside the house and the garage is as cold as keeping her with the rest of the flock. If I keep the water warm for the...
I have a one year old rooster. He is great because he’s not aggressive with people or the hens, my issue is that he is too violent when he’s matting with them. I have 9 hens and him and all their backs are bare and getting infected. I filed all his claws and spurs down and the damage hasn’t...
My OEB hen hatched three chicks on Friday she had four eggs, one egg she kicked out because it didn’t hatched but when I candled it it has what it looks to me a way behind incubated egg. I picked it up and put it in the incubator. My question is, is it possible that she laid an egg after she...
My oeb laid a very bloody egg. Should I worry?
I want to check her but she’s pretty wild and I cannot catch her I might be more susceful when she’s sleeping tonight if I can reach her in the coop. Or should I just leave her alone. She’s acting normal right now. Scratching around the yard.
Edit...
My little rooster comb doesn’t look good. He’s acting normal but it doesn’t look like he has eaten anything. Can someone help me out please? I checked inside his mouth and it seems clear. No sneezing or coughing
TIA

I got this cockerel from a BYC member that was rehouse him. She said he’s a Orpington and barred rock. But the comb is not from those breeds. He’s very mellow so far. I might try to hatch some eggs from my LF chickens. I have one BR and two BA. a SLW and an EE that are about 14 weeks old
I have an 7 month old cockerel and 10 weeks old chicks. Yesterday while I was watching them I saw the older cockerel trying to mate with one of the 10 weeks old chick that I think is a baby roo. Does the older cockerel knows if the chick is a male or female better than I do? Or was he confused...
Just got these chicks at a feed store and the owner wasn’t there. The boy that was attending the store knew nothing about chickens so he couldn’t tell what they are. Thanks
