    Rooster Spur Gone

    Ok, sweet! It does look like a scab, but what is so confusing is that on Tuesday morning, he had both spurs. Do you think it will grow back? I'm just curious.

    Rooster Spur Gone

    I know this doesn't make much sense, but welcome to the crazy health life of my rooster, Matthew. Elrond has still been bullying him, and since the weather has been nice, Elrond has been temporarily banished to "The Cage" a dog kennel in my run. So, I got out this morning, put Elrond in The...

    Breeding question

    I am not sure if this is the right place to put this question, but you know how if you breed a RIR rooted to a SLW hen their chicks will autosex? Does anyone know if it would work the same way with a Barred Rock hen instead of a SLW? I'm trying to do an experiment, haha! 😆

    Breed type?

    #1 strikes me as an egger of some sort? Though the lack of muff, maybe not... #2 is definitely a gold laced Wyandotte!

    Rooster Bone Fracture? Exposed Marrow? I can't tell

    Hi, there, and welcome to BYC! I have no idea what to do for your poor boy, but I'll tag some people who are very knowledgeable and should be able to help! Best of luck! @Eggcessive @Wyorp Rock

    sick chicken

    Hi, there and welcome to BYC! She definitely sounds sick, but not with sour crop. Making chickens vomit is very bad for them, so I would not do that again. Your first goal is to try to get her to eat - make up some of her favorite treats (hard boiled eggs work great) and get her away from the...

    How long is too long?

    For those who need the end of the story: All of the chicks hatched out overnight!

    How long is too long?

    Hullo, and Merry Christmas! I hate to ask this, but maybe someone will see it. I should know this, but I have been awake since 4 am, and my brain is refusing to recall memory. I have some chicks hatching out, and some have pipped 8 hours ago with no other movement since. Others have hatched and...

    Names you gave to your hens, vs roosters

    I give hens names after characters, plants or people I love (Tauriel, Daisy, Nicolette, etc.), I tried that for roosters (Aragorn, Paganini), and they ended up mean. Now the rule is to name roosters simply, but usually with a theme for each group, and occasionally a lineage theme, to help my...

    Double-checking

    So, I'm on day ten of incubation. Last night the power kicked it for five hours due to a storm. I sleep like the dead, so I had no clue it was even storming. When I woke up, the temperature was at 80° F. Thankfully, the power is back on and the temperature is back where it needs to be! According...
