    Advise for healing unfeathered areas

    This is definetly the case with my hens. They are 1½ years old (8 of them) and you could count on one hand how many days they missed laying. They are a bit scraggly, not sure what from, 2 of them have all there feathers so I don't believe it is mites, but they lay the largest eggs, more like...

    My rooster beats me and today he framed me. :(

    I laughed when I read you use a piece of card board I wish I could use that, as it is, I wrap a piece of fencing around me as a barrier and just try to stay up while he is plummiting me! As soon as he hears my husbands voice, he goes back around the coop just like he never did a thing! I...

    Should he go or not?

    We are now trying something else. Hubby let him out of the pen and he is just hanging around and does not seem to mind anyone being around?? I guess maybe he was just being protective of his gals? My son is going to be here Tuesday, so he has that long to show if he is sincere!

    Should he go or not?

    I have a roo that has become very aggresive and actually chases and attacks, anyone trying to leave the coop. We had to cut off his spurs. Hubby has to hang him up with a chicken picker upper he made, just so we can go in and retrieve the eggs. Is it time for the freezer or is this normal for...

    Tail Feathers

    Hi, we had a possum wiggle his way though the fence and had a field day with one of my chickens but not before pulling all of one of the survivors tail feathers out! She is very funny to watch walking around with no tail feathers, kinda looks like she is half there! Well, my question is, will...
