I went on vacation just recently and my uncle who toke care of my chickens didn't collect eggs so now I have like three hens broody and one with three babies. One of the Broodies already has babies 8 weeks. I only have a broody space for one hen. Should I maybe put two hens silkies together
My hen went broody and hatched some eggs. I did add eggs under her. Fast toward 1 month and a half. now she is attacking her chick that is a rhode island. she had four brown leghorns and one rhode island. Why would she attack that one chick? They have started feathering out
thanks for the advice Should I leave maggots in the wound or flush them out and we live at the beach so if I put her in some saltwater would it help or hurt her
My duck was also attacked by our dog she has some feathers ripped out and teeth marks what should I do I have cleaned it with some antibacterial medicine and kept it covered in the day for flies and let her walk around to strength her muscles should I clip the feathers around the wound she is...
My bantam Cochin just hatched some babies regularly I feed them chicken scrat,oyster shell, and laying mash do I need to switch to chick starter. I Also have three other hens that will lay with laying mash
