    My rooster hates me :-(

    Happy New Year everyone! I am at my wits end with my rooster. He has hurt me badly on many occasions, and will violently attack me every chance he gets. He will literally wait outside my car and attack me as soon as I get out. He will chase me to the door and attack me from behind. The...

    Bald spot

    Hi. I may have to rehome him. He is very nasty and bites me and my husband all the time. But then when we pick him up he is so sweet, so I hate to get rid of him, but it might be best for big girl until I am able to get more chickens. I probably won't do that until the spring when the school...

    Bald spot

    Ok thanks so much. Can they be in the same coop at night, or should they sleep separately? They keep each other warm at night, and with the winter coming, I don't know if I should have them sleeping separately outside. Her nesting area in the coop has a low ceiling, so when she is in there he...

    Bald spot

    Wow, cool! And they stay on, they don't fall off? I wonder if I should just keep them separate. The problem is they freak out when they are separated, but she hides from him all day lol

    Bald spot

    Hi My hen has a little bald spot on her back towards her tail. I don't know if it's from the rooster who won't leave her alone for a minute. She's the only hen so he is frequently climbing on top of her, and he is twice her size. Is this something I should be concerned about?

    My poor lame girl

    Thanks! I actually bought one of those, it's way too big for her. I'm going to try to make one that I can use sort of as a baby carrier so I can wear her. I'll keep you posted!

    My poor lame girl

    Yes, I have tried that, but it seems no matter what I do she is able to somehow climb her way out of it. It's amazing how a chicken who can't walk can actually climb! This picture here looks like a perfect fit right? But I can't keep her in it. I need more stuff to secure it. I'm wondering...

    My poor lame girl

    Thank you so much! I will pick up some of that feed and will watch a few youtube videos before attempting to clip her beak and claws! I continue to crunch ideas on how to create a more comfortable and entertaining environment for her. Any suggestions you can give me on how I can do that would...

    My poor lame girl

    Hi. I posted about my baby girl when I first got her in the spring. She had splay leg but it was not able to be fixed, so she continues to be unable to stand or even balance herself left to right or front to back. She leans to the right so her right side is getting irritated, losing her...

    What strength of B complex? Is there someone who can verify how much to give her? And cooked or raw egg yolk?

    My Chick is unable to stand or walk

    I just started giving her Poultry Cell. One ounce per one gallon of water. That's what I give them to drink. I was wondering if i should give her a more concentrated dose of the Poultry Cell. But I don't want to OD her on it or cause more injury. We are building her a tunnel out of legos...

    My Chick is unable to stand or walk

    Hi, I posted last week about my little disabled chick. I tried using the hobbler but it seems her problem is not the leg spreading out, but she seems to have no ability to balance her body. When she does take a step it's a three step run with her feathers flapping and she runs in a circle...

    Thanks! I only rescued three, there were several others. They are sending them to the farm, I wish I could take them all.
