So I have a silkie rooster who has a swelled up face and a little bit of bubbles coming from his eyes.. My whole flock came from a hatchery and hasnt has any contact with any other fowl so what could it be?
I checked her this morning and her crop did empty her gurgling noise went down a little! Her weight is good shes always been a really stocky musclely type hen when you hold her
I have a easter egger flock that i got from belts hatchery they always have been a closed flock with no new additions! My pullets are beginning to lay in the summer heat whitch is around 100 degrees and today i noticed one of my pullets laying in the nest box but shes breathing heavily with...
yesterday all my hens were fine and running around doing what chickens usually do, today i woke up to find my favorite easter egger dead in the run. We dont have any predators besides hawks and the common dog. Our run is predator proof so i know nothing killed her. she dident have any bite...
Today I was sitting down with my flock and all of a sudden I start getting flogged by what I thought was a hen. Even after I got up she/he started attacking my leg! It's about 19 weeks old can you help?
I went today to the feed store and asked the guy what's the best feed for a mix flock of layers,bantams,seasonal layers, and roosters. He told me scratch would work best and add a calcium supplement on the side!
I'm thinking of getting an older rooster for my hens since my hens are terrified of our 8 month old coockrel, I came across a beautifull rooster on Craigslist and was wondering what breed he may be?
well I think it depends with the wheather I ordered my chicks in the winter so they threw in extras for added warmth and since it's getting hotter I doubt they'll add few if any
