    Chicks wing just fell off?!?!

    I bought about 50 barred rock chicks from tractor supply a couple of weeks ago. With so many babies that look alike it's been tough to tell them apart, but I did noticed one chick had a wing that was sorta droopy. Then next thing you know there is a random wing just laying in the middle of the...

    What do I do about this weird sister wives situation with my broody hens??

    So, I have had 3 broody hens for several weeks. They have taken any babies I have given them before, so a Thursday I got them each 7 chicks. Gave them the chicks in there own nests, everyone happily took the babies and all was well. Several times I opened there nests to offer for them to bring...

    Neighbors Dog is Digging Into My Yard!

    I have also encountered this problem and called the local sheriff department. The officer politely told the neighbor that I had every right to shoot the dog but that I did not want to do that and that I had called because I had just as much concern for the dog as for my chickens but that if a...

I have been planning to give them actual chicks for weeks now but every week the feed store gets in breeds I'm not...

    My Broody Hen Is COVERED In Tiny Bugs?!?

    I have a broody hen I've had setting 8 eggs for 2 and a half weeks now. I check her every day but for some reason today after sticking my hand under her to check for babies, to my horror there were HUNDRED of itty bitty little bugs crawling all up my arm. I handle my other chickens pretty often...

    What breed are these blue hens?

    I purchased these hens as chicks from tractor supply several months ago. They were labeled as blue laced wyandottes. What makes no since is that there are multiple comb types among them. Are they actually different breeds and what are they for sure since I'm not believing the tag from when I...

    Built a new pen, now my hens are on strike? How long will this continue?

    About 2 weeks ago we built a pen and roost for our 2 cochin hens and there rooster to stay apart from our other chickens so we will have pure blood eggs to hatch. They settled in surprisingly fast and stopped pacing the fence and went to bed in the new roost within 2 days of being in there. But...
