    Raising two baby roosters

    Hello. I wanted a break from hens this year and wanted to have some roosters for pets free ranging for bugs, and ticks. If they have no hens, I am reading that they should be fine? Question is, will they possibly get aggressive without hens, to humans? I enjoy the company of the birds all year...

    Hi. I just saw a feathery brownish looking jiggly thing popping up out of my hens turd. Anyone have a clue if this could have been a string of her feather or some type of worm?

    Okay. This little coop is pretty fancy. Insulated and sided like a small home on a slab. Two small vents at top. One on each side. So. Do you think with that said we should not heat with the heating system it's set up with and go with some lamps in the dead of winter ?

    Does anyone near northern mn near me find other breeds of chickens other than from feed stores? I would love to find someone I could incorporate a few other breeds here. I'm getting chicken itch crazy to add to my girls and gent now. First time chicken owner. They have a heated insulated coop...

    Good! I'm looking for locals that may want to sell some younger chickens. I don't want to buy from a feed store again. I'm not sure if this breed gets broody too much but I'm going to try my hand and natural hatching with the girls.

    When will my rhode island reds start laying?

    My RIR are about 13 weeks. They do not have much on their heads yet. Wondering if they need more protein other than the medicated chick starter food. My mom mentioned they look kind of dull also. First time chicken owner here.
