    Review by '' on item 'Plymouth Rock'

    I have 11 Plymouth rock hens and they all have their own personalities and some are more intelligent than others. They are excellent layers who provided my family with enough eggs that we could sell a dozen or two a week to another family. At first, one was aggressive when she was in the nest...

    Swollen Toe?

    How do you check for or know whether or not it's bumblefoot?

    Swollen Toe?

    I looked at pictures of bumblefoot but it's in the middle part of their foot not on their toe in the pictures I've seen. Can they get it on their toe? I just looks swollen now; I don't see any discolored areas where bacteria could be growing.

    Swollen Toe?

    One of my Plymouth rock hens who is just over a year old has a swollen toe. The swelled area is near the base of the underside of her middle toe on her left foot.

    How should I clean my coop?

    In our coop, we left a hole below the roosts, and made a frame with half inch slats to put in it. This way the poop falls down through. Beneath that, we made a drawer that we pull out ever 2-3 days and we use a shovel to scoop it out into a bucket.

    Bantam or still growing?

    Bantam or still growing?

    I have what I thought was 12 standard-sized Plymouth rocks from Ideal Poultry which I received back in February, but they aren't even as tall as my knee yet. Are they bantams or do chickens just take longer than 10 months to reach full size?

    This is the story of our chickens. In February 2011, we ordered 12 Barred Rocks from Ideal Poultry. By February 23, the day the chicks arrived at the post office, we had already drawn up detailed plans and scale drawings of the fabulous coop we were going to build. When we opened the box that...
