Night before last, I noticed one of my sex link hens standing on the floor of the coop when I was locking up for the night. She was holding her left leg tight against her body and was standing on the other. She could not roost. The next morning, my husband and I examined her. She had hopped...

This morning, when my husband went to let the girls out, he found a decapitated rabbit INSIDE of the fenced run. The fence is 6 feet tall and both gates were closed and locked. We can't figure this out. We have not had a predator attack before but have seen coyotes in the area, but not...

Okay, this one has us puzzled. The night before last, just before dark, there was a knock on our door. My husband answered, and it was a woman who needed gas for her out of state car. She said that she didn't have a wallet and that she needed to make it into town, about 6-8 miles away. My...

Okay, I went to my local feed store and fell in love with these two Bantams. I have been looking at breed pictures and the closest I can find (but certainly may be wrong) are Mille Fleurs. Comments?

Okay, I went to the feed store today and looked at the chicks. I picked out a couple that had pasty butt (The worker tried to put these in a separate box since they were contagious) I also selected a Turken chick that I thought had been pooped on. She was being pecked at, but didn't seem to...

Hello! I went to my local feed store yesterday to pick up supplies for my brooder and they had just received their first shipment of chicks (golden sexlinks). I did not bring any home with me, but this experience did raise a few questions. Now before you think I have some kind of immunity...
