    Rehoming 2 rooster

    We just recently found that 2 of our 18 week old chickens are roosters. We are needing to rehome them because we only wanted hens. I have no idea where to even start with that. Is there anyone that could help get me started with how to do that? Any advice would be helpful. I live in wichita, ks.

    Sick/ Injured hen. Fly Strike?

    Thank you, I was worried about it because the first day I was getting the lash egg pieces out of her wound a few of my other hens came over and started eating it. Not knowing then what it even was I've kept an eye on them to make sure they weren't showing any signs of illness. Thanks to all of...

    Sick/ Injured hen. Fly Strike?

    It didn't come out of her vent they came out of her wound. She also has had some liquid stuff coming out of it that kind of reminds me of uncooked egg white or snot.

    Cause of death - could this be egg yolk peritonitis? *warning - graphic photos*

    I'm going through this with one of my hens. She's still alive and hoping she will survive. I know nothing about this stuff but I've been trying my best. Started off noticing blood dripping off her bum then saw the maggots. Got her cleaned up and found a large wound under her vent. I've been...
