    How to choose chicks from a batch...

    From our experience, the chicks seem to be "traumatized" when we get them. Little kids have been picking them up all week and playing around with them, which exposes them to sicknesses that could easily be spread. They don't seem to form a liking towards people at all, no matter how much...

    Showing Chickens

    I'm hoping to show some chickens in 4H, but there's one problem; I don't know how!! What are some things that I need to do, and how would one go about doing those things? What specific qualities do my hens (I can't have roosters) need to have? How would I present them to the judge? I have 2...

    How to choose chicks from a batch...

    That's good. The TSC chicks can be a little problematic. If you're getting them from a different place then you shouldn't really have a problem :) Constant handling and a good environment will really establish how your chicks will end up after you get home.

    In Defense of Roosters

    I wish I could get a rooster, but I'm not allowed . Secretly hoping that they sex one of our pullets wrong and I get to keep the little guy.

    What's the most annoying things your chickens do?

    My hen Spots enjoys attacking me without warning. Out of the blue, she runs out of the coop into the run and comes after me.

    Weird

    May just be an odd egg :) It happens every once in awhile. It shouldn't be an issue unless it keeps happening.

    Would y'all happen to know what might be going on with my Pekin?

    How old is she? She may be squatting and ready to lay. If that isn't possible, the staining could be caused by diarrhea, I would check for worms, and make sure that she's eating properly. The best thing to do now would just be to separate her, and see how it progresses,

    Are recipes with dashes of citrus juice included safe for my chickens as treats?

    Fish is fine, but feed it in moderation. Citrus, although not entirely healthy for the chickens, is completely fine. Because we use my girls for 4h, little kids are always throwing Lemons and Oranges into the run. The only thing citrus does is weaken the egg shell, so if you offer your...

    Is whole corn good for your chickens?

    Whole corn is certainly better than cracked corn, as it has the oils and nutrients that cracked corn lacks. However, you don't want it to be the staple of your chicken's diet. You should offer them a pellet or crumble feed as the base, with grit always included.

    Show Off Your Chickens

    I know I'm not supposed to play favorites, but I absolutely adore 2 of my hens. Then again, I only have 4 . One of my barred rocks just loves to pick on my other girls. On the other hand, one of my Hamburgs is a complete jerk . I love my other Hamburg and Barred rock, though. They are my...

    Golden Lace Polish hen on rooster?

    Don't worry, your little crowing hen is still a hen :). My girls love to crow, You could always get a no crow collar if you want her to quiet down.
