    Help my roo is picking on one hen.

    My rooster has 3 hens he protects and 2 he’s trying to kill. I keep spraying the 2 with the pecking spray but I feel so sorry for them. One refused to go inside tonight so I just gave her some hay to keep her warm. I hate to kill him. He’s a breese and I wanted to keep him to mate. I have one...

    Advice for overwhelmed soon to be chicken owner!

    I have a prefab cage I got from tractor and supply for my babies. It works fine. It’s next to my big pen for the adults and I have an electric fence around both. About 2” from the bottom. Haven’t had a problem with any predators getting in. Should be fine for 4 birds. You need chick feed...

    Hen can't stand.

    I have not vaccinated for Marek's disease and I added chickens about 4 months ago that I had bought as 1 day old chicks and raised until they were big enough to go into the chicken pen. I don't think we even have the Marek's vaccine were I am. I did talk to my vet but he didn't have anything to...

    Hen can't stand.

    I was just thinking today that I needed to make something like a Johnny Jumper like they have for babies. My 4 year old hen got weaker and weaker, until she finally couldn't walk. Then her legs splayed out underneath and behind her. She never quit eating and drinking. She did drool a lot in the...

    Flooring for my Chicken Coop

    Is it easy to shovel? The vinyl I have now is tearing and hard to shovel. I need to replace it with something that I can spray and shovel easily.

    Hello from California coast!

    Great looking girls! I have a barred rock also and she is really a character. Pretty much a loner, but she is one of my tamest hens. Glad you joined!

    Do you have to have a door?

    I have a predator proof run, but I don't think you can be too safe. I have an automatic door that opens at 7am and closes, right now, at 5:30 pm. They put themselves to bed about 5 though. I don't want to chance critters digging under my enclosure, even though I have an electric fence around the...

    Sick Rooster

    I am having the same issues with my Rooster. Was just about to post about him. I tried all the same things you did and they didn't help. He can't even fertilize my hens because he loses his balance. I feel so sorry. Was wondering is this part of pox. He has a black spot on his comb. These come...
