Howdy Folks!
I have a lovely Rhode Island Rooster for sale. I live in Eastern NC. He is 5 months old and breeding. I have 2 and only need one since I only have 3 pullets at this time. Anyone interested just post and ask questions if you like. I will get some pics this evening. He is very...

Yes, I agree. We are building pens now to start seperating in groups. They have just come into breeding and some of the hens have just started laying. I bought an assortment back in April and now the time has come to seperate even though they get along pretty good. Thanks for your...

Way too many roosters for the number of hens. IMHO. That many will likely over breed the hens and could do some damage.
Should be about 10 to 1 or even a bit sparser.

OKay guys...my little chickie is still having problems. She is still crying and seems to be getting weaker. She was so strong. I have been feeding her little drops of water with an eye dropper. She isn't eating and doesn't seem to be able to go to sleep even though she is exhausted. Could she...
Hi
I use Nutrena because it is all our local feed store carries and my hens and roos are doing find. I also have chicks on the starter. Thing is....I wish I could get it for $7.49 for a 40 lb. Here the 50 lb. chick starter is $13.70/50lb and the Layer Crumble is $10.80/50lb. The guy at the feed...
Hi
I have too many roosters that all came together as chicks. I first had to remove the Pheonix(I know I didn't spell that right LOL) and the Silver Spangled Hamburg. As soon as they were removed from the hens they did not fight anymore. They were never aggressive to me though. They are...
IT'S WORKING .....IT'S WORKING!!! Thanks so much guys. It was breaking my heart. She isn't crying anymore. She is falling a sleep standing up. I think she is exhausted from crying all night. The 2 day old chicks are checking her out and pecking a little at her feet but they seem to be getting...
Thanks guys. I have 2 other chicks that are 2 days old. (Dorkings) I put them in with her and she wouldn't stop pecking their feet and eyes, so I told her back out. Then last night I put her in with them and one of them started pecking her. I will try again to bring them together. She doesn't...
Any help would greatly be appreciated. Can chicks get gas. She has been crying all night. She has runny poop and seems to feel a little better and stops crying when I hold her on her back and rub her belly. Anyone have experience with this problem. She is my little BCM and about 5 days old. She...
~*Sweet Cheeks*~ :
Red light - supposed to be calming.
Put shiny objects in the brooder with then all to distract the pecker to the shiny things rather then shiny toe nails or eye balls.
Mirror, bird toys with bell, anything red. Flat rocks to climb on.
Good luck with your little one.
Hi...
I have one 4 day old BCM chick. She is the only one that hatched out of 14 shipped eggs. I thought she was so lonely. Then yesterday I had 2 Dorking chicks hatch out. They are so cute and tiny. I put the 4 day old in with the 1 day old chickens and 4 day old constantly pecks their toes and then...
