    California-Southern

    Hi, we are neighbors. I am in San Marcos. I just saw a post selling 5 pullets and a rooster, I believe, on Craigslist. I think seller said they are about 5 months old, and I remember thinking the price was very reasonable

    Re-introducing baby chick to mama hen after an injury

    Maybe down the road. She is mostly resting right now. Gets up and wobbles to eat and drink. She must have got stepped on by the hen repeatedly as her wing seems to be injured somewhat, though she is able to move it. She peeps, eats, drinks, poops. I really hope to be able to put her back with...

    Re-introducing baby chick to mama hen after an injury

    There are 6 chicks total. Just to make sure I understand, it would be better to pull out another chick and it may be easier to re-introduce them together later?

    Broken/open beak?

    Thank you, everybody, for all the advice and suggestions. The injured hen seems to be doing ok. She is with the main flock as I have no room to separate her and it didn’t seem necessary as she was doing well other than being hungry. It appears that she figured out how to peck for food, and we...

    Broken/open beak?

    Yesterday we noticed that one of our young hens had her beak messed up. It looked like a thin layer maybe peeled of the top and was still partially attached. I think there may have been some dried blood on it. When I went to get a picture later, the hanging was gone, but I noticed that her beak...

    Greetings :)

    Hello! (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? We’ve had our flock for about 3 years now with a help from more knowledgeable friends, but I still feel like very much a novice (2) How many chickens do you have right now? 11 (3) What breeds do you have? it’s a barnyard...
