I've been treating this adult bird for wry neck for 2 weeks. Has improved some, but still happens periodically throughout the day. Started after she'd been broody for a few weeks. Can it be something other than wry neck? Giving this bird poly vi sol/selenium/vitamin e twice a day is wearing...

I have a hen that's been broody about 2 weeks. Couldn't seem to break her so got her some hatching eggs. She now seems to have developed wry neck. It's been extremely hot weather. I am treating her with Vitamin E, Selenium, Poly vi sol. Can I let her keep setting or should I move her in the...

I have 4 of these "hens". One is beginning to have some pink color to the comb/waddles. Not sure if it's just more developed than the others or turning into a roo.

Silly question, but why are gray chickens called "blue" and light gray chickens called "lavender"? Or am I just color blind?

I have a broody cochin that is hatching 10 chicks. It's her second time. She is in an egg box in the coop and i put a makeshift cage around it to keep others out. It's probably 2 x 2. Can i move her and the eggs into the house into a larger cage about a week before hatch date so that it will...

My cochin frizzle bantam went broody or so I thought. She has hatched before with ease. I went and bought her some fertile eggs to hatch. She sat on them one evening and overnight and then abandoned them most of the day. Then she again in the evening decided to go broody again and sat on...

How many bantams can live comfortably in this coop? It is 4 x 8. Part of floor blocked by bins. There is now a roost that goes lengthwise across top of coop also. The have a large run also, but don't go out there much.

I have a bantam frizzle hen that hatched 4 bantam chicks a couple weeks ago. I now have them all in the coop with the rest of the flock, but the mama and 4 chicks are kept separate in a caged area. How big does that caged area need to be for them? Also, how many bantams can be comfortably...

I let my broody bantam frizzle hatch 4 chicks in a cage in my house. They are now almost 2 weeks old. I'm planning to put her and the chicks back into the coop in a cage separated from the other bantam hens. I'm worried how they will do with freezing temps though. Also at what point do I let...

Ok, so I let my bantam frizzle hatch 4 chicks. It's been in the 20's at night, 40's in the day so I brought her and the eggs in the house during the last few weeks. They are in a good sized cage in the laundry room. Yesterday all 4 hatched. Should I continue to keep them in the house for the...

I have a bantam cochin frizzle that went broody. She's sitting on 4 viable eggs that should hatch in about 5 days! I moved her inside the house into a cage and made her a nest with a kitty litter bin because it's been in the upper 20's/30's at night. She has been sitting on them nonstop...

I have a broody bantam frizzle sitting on 4 fertilized eggs. She's been on them for 10 days now. Temps are starting to hit the upper 20's/low 30's at night. I have two flat panel heaters near the roosts and the coop is staying above freezing so far. There are 5 other bantams in the coop with...

What's the best and most cost efficient plastic sheeting material to use to wrap around the chicken run in the winter to keep wind out?

Roo or hen for the black one. Age is 5 months.

Hello. I live in Nebraska where winters can be harsh. I have 6 bantams, some of which I know are not cold hardy (Frizzle, japanese bantam). I have a solid built 4 x 8 coop which I know is rather large for them. I'm wondering how I'll keep them warm enough when it's below 0. Not sure their...

When did your d'uccle start laying eggs? Do they take longer than cochins?

The black tailed japanese on the right is a hen correct? 12 weeks old.

Greetings, I got these 4 week old bantam cochins and I'm thinking hens, but is it too early still? Also I have 4 other bantams that are 11 weeks old. When and how should I introduce them once the newbies can go outside. I'm thinking when the young ones are around 8 weeks old?

I have 6 bantams now. 4 were raised together and I just added 2. They are all about 8 weeks old. They aren't fighting much but its like i have 2 separate flocks. The 4 do their own thing and the other 2 do their own. Will they ever warm up to each other? Have only had new ones a couple days.

How many bantams would fit comfortably in this coop? They will have a very large run and would only be confined during negative degree weather days in the winter. 59"; L X 29.5"; W X 31.9"; H .
