    Rooster butt pecked by hens?

    I have the same problems with one of my roosters right now. Everyone seems to enjoy pecking his butt lately. I don't know if he is loosing his spot in the pecking order or what it might be. Let us know if you figure anything out

    Delawares not Orpingtons!

    From my vague memory, my hatchery Delaware rooster started all yellow. Not white at all. And no spots at all either until he started feathering out. So I say there is a chance it could be a Delaware if its a hatchery chick.

    Dog eating chicken poo?

    Is sugar cane mulch OK for brooker?

    From what I've seen on here things people have used for a brooder are pine (not cedar) shavings, rice hulls, straw, hay, paper towels, regular towels, or sand. Just something absorbent but not slippery. I think your pretty open to what you would like to use as long as you clean it regularly and...
