Im having the same problem, I have show quality roos and I am going to have to many and no luck on craigslist this time, I want them to be pets only, not food, I was only asking 10 bucks and no responses
I think what I have to do is get the other 2 guys out of there, this one has always been the boss and all of the sudden it seems to changing, the other 2 are getting really bossy. I know they have to come out before I put him back or I will have big probs, he is still limping but not nearly as...
I wouldnt touch it, when they turn black it usually falls off by itself....unless you think there is an infection, then he would need further medical help
My top rooster, so he thinks, is limping, I don't see an injury and don't think anything is broke, not sure what to do for him. He did have an injury to his comb the other day so I know he fought my other rooster, he almost acted disoriented and wouldn't come out of the coop at all. That was two...
My silkies had the Exact same problem, Ive never had that before but I swear by polyvisol baby vitamins, no iron, after a couple doses and they were doing great, I had one kept relapsing and I am adding the vitamins to the water and havent had a prob since. At first put a few drops right into...
We've had a tiny house chicken for years now and she has her own cage inside (dont want chicken poop on floor) , she goes out most of the day and cant wait to come back inside at end of day. I do notice some dust but not much, prob no more than my cats and dogs bring up, if you keep their pen...

Might be just small......I have a full grown silkie that is Maybe 1/3 size of a normal silkie, if not smaller, she is a dwarf and cute as a button and very healthy
That's why I always charge something for my roos on CL cause nobody is gonna pay 10 bucks and then eat it, it wouldn't be worth it to them....I can't eat my guys so I don't want anyone else eating them, I want them all to be pets (easier said than done I know ) esp since most of mine end up...

Some days I wish the same thing.
Everyone is right when they say it is a lot of work. It really is. And you have to be dedicated, have the space to keep everyone safe and secure, have the resources for coops, feed, etc and have the time, patience and heart to care for a lot of...
I don't know how you guys have that many chickens....I have bantams and was just out there cleaning the coop and run which is a muddy gross mess from all the rain and I am getting nervous that I have 9 babies inside, kinda like what was I thinking?? Just remember they grow up to be adults, eat...
