    Do saddles on hens work? Updated with a pic!!

    I bought one for my picked on girl. It is so hot most of the year in FL I didn't have the heart to make her wear it. I ended up rehoming my rooster.

    Strange Q: How long are chicks "cute" for?

    I'd say about a week or two as well.

    My hen is crowing - can I make her stop?

    No idea here either, but one of my hens started crowing last week. She isn't even the dominent hen and I have a rooster, so this is a pain in the neck. She stopped laying, but she never has been a great layer. She took an egg vacation about 5 months ago too, but started back up only to quit...

    FLORIDA!!!!!ALWAYS SUNNY SIDE UP!!!

    I'm in Plant City, FL I too am thinking of re-homing my Roo. He is a good boy, very respectful of people. Never tried to turn on me or my family. Though, I only have 3 hens and he is just too much of a loverboy to them. So, I think he would be a great addition to someone who has more...

    Newbie Here Plant City, Fl

    Hey there! I'm in Plant City too! I haven't had a bit of trouble out of my small flock, once I got them established and stopped picking rooster after rooster when they are chicks LOL. It's really a breeze. Keep a clean coop, clean water and a safe environment and that is over half the...

    Quote: It could be splayed leg at this age? She never showed any of the signs until a week ago. I thought that was mostly in chicks, but I don't know much either LOL

    I have a pullet, little over 3 months old, that is favoring her left leg. She's been doing this a week now. It's not getting any better, nor worse, except for the end of the day after she's walked around alot. Anyway didn't want to try this treatment without knowing, cause I'm really not...

    Let's play BOY or GIRL! UPDATED w/ side pic request

    Well, this morning my BO, (which wasn't ever a question, but )LOL he crowed! He is the rooster I was intending on keeping anyway. So far he's real sweet. Hope that doesn't change when he hits puberty. Now not to beat a dead horse......but - he is a week younger than my EE's. He is right...

    Let's play BOY or GIRL! UPDATED w/ side pic request

    Oh no! Are you talking about Mareks? I just double checked and it is her left leg. I curse myself daily for not just buying from a hatchery and splitting with people on craigslist. I got these from someone who raises their own and doesn't vaccinate. It is still the same today, I'll watch...
