    Found a rooster thinking about adding it to my flock

    My wife calls me this morning saying that she has found what she believes is a rooster in the middle of our downtown city and says its hurt. She says its docile and allowed her to pick it up without any hesitation. She is a lover of all animals and brings it home for me to tend to it. I inspect...

    Not yet but I have bought a trail camera to see what's coming around and also going to fence in a larger part of the yard so it will help correct that problem

    Dog Attack! How Long Will Chickens Stay Hidden?

    Yea it's day five and still no sign of the girls. Guess I need to look into maybe doing a chicken tractor or possibly even getting a rooster for protecting the hens. Just hate that this happened to em. I will look at replacing them in the spring I suppose.

    Dog Attack! How Long Will Chickens Stay Hidden?

    Been going out twice a day looking but still no luck. The 2 I had found are starting to move around a bit so I'm hoping the others will also. But still no luck. I just feel bad cause the 2 I found are from different groups that mill around so no doubt it's even hard in the coop.

    I looked for over an hour and now unfortunately it's nighttime here so I figured I would restart the search party first thing in the morning. Fingers crossed cause I feel bad for my ladies.

    Official BYC Poll: The Worst Predator

    Looking for help! While free ranging some predator got ahold of a couple of my chickens. Out of 11 i found 2 and feathers to two more. I couldn't find anymore or even get them to make a peep. So my question is will they come back in the morning(if still alive) or will i still have to hunt for them?

    I really have no clue the age of the hens but before I took them they said they were all laying pretty regularly. And now 2 are laying daily and 1 every other day making just a total of 3 laying. They all seem very happy and getting more and more comfortable with me. As far as treats I would...

    New to the chicken community as I just adopted a flock of 5 hens and have some basic questions about them. One is that not all the hens are laying but all seem to like the new home pretty well as I give treats daily thing to figure out what they like the most. Is this normal as one is an easter...
