So because it is winter, we have been experiencing our first year of hungry hawks. Just a week ago my bantam mother hens was attacked and killed by a hawk, ever since then they keep coming back with new friends and causing my chickens to panic. I am having to constantly check on them and listen...

I have this hen who I believe is a red (Not quite sure what she is) star, when I was feeding them this morning I noticed her poop was basically water, nothing really solid in it. She has been acting a little slow also. I feel like this is because of a rooster I have, he has been tormenting the...

So, I have a broody hen who is trying to hatch eggs again, they should be hatching around Monday (October 3rd), but when I came home tonight, this egg appeared to be smashed. I keep a small board in front of the box to stop the others from getting in there (or at least discourage them from going...

I have this chick, well, don't know if you would call her a chick anymore. But when she was younger I realized she had something different about her beak, she has scissor-beak. So far I've been helping her out by wetting the chick feed and that seemed to help her out a lot, but she's almost of...

I have this hen, who's probably been with me 2 years or so, maybe a year and a half or so. And today, I noticed that her comb was drooping a little and I'm aware that's usually a sign something is wrong, it seems to happen when something is wrong with mine, so that was my first sign. Then she...

So, if anyone has been reading my posts they know I've been raising 2 barred rock chicks that my broody hen hatched, well we lost one to what I suspect to be a cat, we lost her a few days ago. The mother hen did what they do best and I guess moved their roosting spot to a safer place, but just 2...

I had 2 chicks that were being raised by a broody hen, I keep them in a kennel outside so she can have her own little area and not be disturbed by the other chicks in the coop. (I keep my mother hen away from the rest of the flock, she stays in a separate area with the 10 week old chickens we...

As I do not own an actual incubator, I have attempted to make an incubator with just a glass bowl. I have the eggs on a grid like surface so they don't roll around and a glass bowl around the eggs. I have water in there along with a hygrometer to tell me the temperature and humidity. I heat it...

I have this mother hen who has 2 chicks with her currently. I am afraid to put her in with the other big chickens in fear that they will kill her chicks one way or another, so in the meantime I have her and her chicks put into a pen with my other 6 chicks (about 8 weeks old), they all get locked...

So, I'm new to this site as a member. I've been here many times to find things that were wrong with my chickens before. I have this broody hen who has been sitting on some eggs for quite a bit, she had 4 eggs under her, most from different time frames, so we had our first 2 hatch just a few...
