    my rooster has gone mean

    All my roosters that have gone mean (2) have been culled. There is nothing I dislike as much as getting attacked by a rooster. I especially dislike the sneaky ones that wait until you turn your back and then run up and get you in the back of the knees! Awhile back I had two roosters, the...

    My chicks have hatched

    the first one was on April 1st, and then some had little cracks in them and the tap, tap tap...love that sound! I had 8 eggs total, one got cracked by another hen when my cochin went on a potty break. I cracked it the rest of the way and it was a dud. The last chick hatched around noon today...

    Need prayer support....

    God will meet your every need, keep your eyes on Him because He wont ever give you more than you can handle. Lift it all up to Him and He will carry your burden. I know its much easier said than done, but keep believing. Said some prayers for you and believing He has a job waiting for you.

    the best breed!

    So far I love my cochin the best. She likes to be held, she "talks" and best of all she replenishes my flock. Now for egg production, I like the EE's, also the variety of color and the ones we have raised have been more friendly, as we handled them as pullets.

I tried to syringe a tiny bit of gatoraid into her, 5 minutes later she was gone. I feel guilty that I even...

I didnt handle her tonight as her comb was again red, showing she is getting oxy, but labored and wheezing. And like I said she freaks when I handle her and then...

    please help - hen having problems breathing- stress injury?

    Yesterday afternoon I was putting new shavings under the roost in the coop. My redcap freaked and flew from the roost, pole vaulted off my back (I was bent over) and flew in the far wall, fell straight down and behind a nesting box that was on the floor. All that was sticking up was her butt...

    What kind of hen is this?

    yes she is moulting. She came in the ornamental collection of birds. There use to be two of them but one got eaten by the coyote. They are small and skittish.
