    Review by '' on item 'Cornish'

    I have two dark Cornish roosters that I'm selling along with some white Plymouth Rock hens. They are either going to be rehomed OR MEET THEIR MAKER!!! In the 15 years that I have owned chickens with a multitude of breeds, I HAVE NEVER HAD ROOSTERS THIS AGGRESSIVE!!! Perhaps the hens are docile...

    Nigerian Goats

    I have three does and my own buck. Since I was going to need to breed my girls for milk purposes anyway, I just went ahead and got my own boy. And love him I do. Having another mouth to feed may not be as cost effective, but there are no stud fees and I don't have to worry about any germs...

    Help! Can this lil guy be saved???

    I had and lost one rooster to this. Crusty yellow spots started on comb and then gradually spread to the rest of the body and caused feather loss, an atrocious smell, appetite loss, huddling. This little guy, a modern game bantam cockerel, the crusty yellow spots are confined to his comb and...

    Two Silkie Hatchmates Struck with Different Neurological Diseases??!!

    I so appreciate everyone's input, thank you. I don't know what to think about my little pullet. Since I've pretty much been force feeding her, she has perked up some. Where as before she would just lay down, at least she stands now. I have not observed her walking, but I will mark where I put...

    Two Silkie Hatchmates Struck with Different Neurological Diseases??!!

    I have two Silkie hatchmates, approx 5 months old now. The first a pullet, became quite lethargic and simply just stopping walking/moving/eating/doing anything. Two days later, the cockerel (I think) came down with wry neck/limber neck. His neck was tucked tightly between his legs and when he...

    shell less eggs, after hens sick for 3-4 days

    Welcome to the BackYardChicken Forum:) Honestly, I've no idea what happened. Since they free range, it's possible they could have gotten into something? Are they all behaving normally again, with good appetite and behavior? If so, then I would think the problem with the eggs should clear up:)

    It's official

    You know, it's so funny. I get questioned so often from people about why I have/own chickens! How can you explain to someone who doesn't have any chickens of their own?! I simply answer back, "Why don't you have any?" How can you explain it? It's truly an addiction!!! My DH finally took...

    How does the egg color impact on hatching time?

    Welcome to BYC!!! In general, egg color has no impact on length of incubation, 21 days to incubate (although some bantams will hatch at 19 days). Then you need to allow for variances in temperature of the incubator (I'm assuming you used an incubator and not a broody). Warmer temps in the...

    I'm scared for my silkie!

    I have Silkies and have never had a problem with them flying down, leaping with style from a roost:) One of my girls in particular likes to perch on this one roost which is almost 4 ft off the ground. Never built a ramp or anything else special. I guess it never occurred to me that I should.

    Need advice on sitting

    Are you asking how you can get your little hen to go broody and hatch some eggs for you? Some breeds do not go broody no matter what you do. We've bred the broodiness right out of them. So knowing what kind of bantam you have would be helpful. Also, if she's just started laying, you don't...
