    Sick hen?

    I have a RIR that has been acting odd in the past couple days. Her eyes are clear and shes attentive but she has been quite lethargic. She fluffs her feathers up a bit away from her body. Her comb has gotten paler and is starting to droop. I also noticed she has green poop residue on her rear...

    My Hen got attacked! #Warning Graphic# She has a very large open wound and idk what to do with her

    My hen got attacked by a dog this morning and I discovered a fairly large wound on her back/side. She obviously is weak but she still energetic and clear eyed. her poop is completely runny, basically like water. I've brought her inside but considering the size of the wound idk if it is even...

    There roaches in my coop!

    Okay, the only reason I'm worried is because it is in the box and so they bury under their poop and such so I don't think they even know they are there

    They don't seem to be eating them. It's been like 2 weeks now. I was hoping they would eat them but they are still there

    So I have found that there are roaches in my coop. How in the world do I get rid of them? Would they be harming my chickens?

    Are there ways to rig a coop so it will keep the eggs from spoiling in varing temps?

    I live in the city and because of that can only have four chickens on the property. I am considering my other options, and I know several people that have land. So I am thinking (just thinking) if it would work to have chickens on a separate property. If I did do that I probably would only be...

    My rooster has frostbite, is there anything/should I do anything?

    I just noticed the other day that the tips of my roosters comb are blueish/purple. It's been around 10degrees F sometimes after dark. I don't really know what I should do, if I should even do anything. Would appreciate some help. Thanks

    Why is my 7-month Buff Orpington hen not laying?

    Yeah I can a picture. Of the hen right? Well the only thing I was wondering, do I need to put some fake eggs in the box? Cause she has never been with a hen that is currently laying, so I didn't know if she would know what to do.

    Why is my 7-month Buff Orpington hen not laying?

    I think she is about 7 months 3 weeks. She is very skittish. She never goes into the nesting box and I haven't seen her do the squatting thing yet. I really don't understand why its taking so long. My last couple of hens started at 5 1/2 - 6 months. Any advise or thoughts?

    Will the chicks hatch based on when they were layed or when the hen starts sitting on them?

    Thanks! Then I have it all planned right!

    Will the chicks hatch based on when they were layed or when the hen starts sitting on them?

    Sorry the title was so long. I just got some hatching eggs a week ago and I don't know that exact day them were born. I was wondering if they would hatch based on how long the hen has been sitting on them or based on what day they were layed? I would really like to know! - chickpeeps

    Boys or girls? Any ideas?

    Yeah you would probably need to wait at least a month or two so you can really be sure
