today i was happy to have bought 3 bantam hens, but once i got them home i noticed that they all have leg rings on. should i remove the rings or leave them be ?

i had a hen that took a year to start laying, sometimes if the weather is bad it can take longer for them to start laying

Hi, i hatched and raised 2 Orpington and 2 Bantam chick's last spring and it was all good, just make shore that they can't go far away from the lamp (or what you are using to keep them warm) for the 1st day's of there life but if you see them panting it is too hot for them, also make shore that...

thank you for the advice and yes it was definitely a stoat, unfortunately it killed 2 of my bantams before it took the poison

a week or so ago something started tunnelling under my coop fence then my chicken started to bled so i started using rat poison and then i found a dead stoat should i be concerned, do stoats live in groups?

good idea i have a spare chicken coop so i may put her in it, she is getting stronger and still eating but her legs are still weak and bleeding why is this ?

thank you for the advice, she can eat and drink but she is weak so the other chicken take the food away, i think she is 2 or 3 years old and i don't know if she has had a vaccination

help i think one of my chicken may have Botulism, it has difficulty standing and its wings are weak and they droop down also its skin is pale what should i do ?
