Quote: I would hope she isn't like that. My hen is black and the rooster is gray. I just hope she gets used to him sooner than later otherwise I would be wasting my time with breeding these two.

Quote: Its not so much that hes not focusing all his energy on her its that she doesn't seem to care or seem to want to engage in the mating process at all. My rooster is definitely bigger than the hen and they're around the same age. My hen being a little more than a year old and my rooster...

To my knowledge, most hens don't lay till atleast 6-7 months, but then again i can be wrong. Whenever i put in nesting boxes in the coop i usually put the hens in the nesting boxes and let them examine it. This way they know its there. I've put nesting boxes in their coops before and they wont...

My hen has laid two eggs already and it still seems like she wont let my rooster mount her. Any have any suggestions on what i should do? They've been together for a little more than a week, maybe two weeks now. I've thought that maybe she isn't used to him yet? but i have other roosters and she...

My rooster has lately been losing his voice it seems like. Its been getting worst, i've noticed it about a few weeks ago. When he crows you can barely hear it. I've been giving him so tylan because its known to get rid of respiratory problems in poultry, but that doesn't seem to be doing...

So if i do use super glue would i glue the part where the whole crack is?

I'm using an incubator for the first time. I bought the LG about 3 weeks ago set it up and also bought the automatic egg turner also. Now its the 20th day and they should hatch tomorrow on the 21st, my question is do i leave the eggs on the turner or should i take the turner off and just leave...

Thank you all for your inputs. I was thinking about just leaving it alone also, hopefully the beak will learn the gap between the beak doesnt get bigger. I was also thinking of putting on nail strengthener/grower? Anyone tried this for split beak? i've heard that works but never tried it myself...

Well i went to go feed my chickens earlier today and i picked up one of my roos and i noticed that his upper beak was split at the tip, the split isnt huge and it wasnt like that before. The gap of the split isnt big either and it doesnt go long up the beak i want to say maybe 1/16-1/4 of an...

Can this be coryza? Im not sure because i've usually had relatively healthy chickens and this is this first time this has happen, my shamo roo is sick and he has all those symptoms, hes not acting like his normal self, he seems sluggish, his sister is sick also and sometimes i will see her...

He seems to be doing better but there is still some poop crust around that area.

i dont think so, im pretty sure he's not though but i will double check on that tomorrow

Ondra's Seramas : Are the others picking his feathers? no hes in a pen all by himself. I just added some apple cider vinegar into his water hopefully that helps out a little bit.

my rooster has a bloody bum and i dont know what its from, he did recently have mites and i got rid of that problem just yesterday. Also he has poo stuck around the feathers by his bum? Any help or suggestion to get rid of the problem or what the problem is?

Quote: Yeah i was thinking that also i was going to give him a few weeks to do that see how it turns out. Because hopefully i will be showing him in january and i just wanted them to grow in nicely before then.

So my mom thought it would be cute to put my rooster in a small wire cage and when i finally noticed it this morning his feathers were all messed up. Mainly the main tail feathers, but also what got damaged were the sickles and the lesser sickles. I tried to make them look nice again with just...

Quote: No, it comes in both medicated and non medicated, and the flockraiser comes in crumbles and pellets depending on where you live. Yeah, i wish it had animal protein in it.
