    Hen has some kind of "Bubble" bulging from side on neck/chest?? HELP!!

    Thank you, I just started researching this and came up with the same answer! It is located on the right side of her upper breast. I just noticed it today, so I am positive it hasn't been that way long! Should I leave it alone for a day or two and see if it goes down, or is it better to just...

    How long do I wait to give new chick to mom? Does it need another baby for company?

    I took it out for her to see, and she wanted to lay on it with the others, but with the last one, she smothered it accidently so this is why I was worried about it not getting around good yet! I put the smallest of the week olds with it for the night, and will see how it is in the morning.

    How long do I wait to give new chick to mom? Does it need another baby for company?

    My hen already has week old chicks, and due to a mishap with the last two I have decided to keep the new chick separated until it is able to get around good. Any advice as to how long I should wait before putting it out with the others and mom? Also, is it okay that it is by itself, or should I...

    Need help with babies!!

    it's just the one she keeps pecking at. she cut it on its head, and I watched her keep doing it, so I took it away. This is why I said that I think she may kill it. The other two are twins out of the same egg on Thursday and they are doing fine. My husband said she pecked at them in the...

    Thanks for the help! Should I leave the hurt one with her? I really think she may kill it, and I know it's a part of nature, but I feel like it is horrible!!

    Need help with babies!!

    Well I moved them because my coop is 2ft off the ground and I couldn't leave the doors open for the others to get in and lay because I didn't want the babies to fall out! I moved her entire nesting box with the eggs and babies into a really big dog crate. My husband said she had pecked at the...

    Need help with babies!!

    3rd baby chick just hatched. Momma started pecking at it, and now it has a cut on it's head! What do I do and WHY is she pecking it?? Is it because I touched it? I recently moved them, mom and eggs into a separate cage away from the other hens and rooster. Is this my fault?? PLEASE HELP!! Thank you!

    Will my rooster be aggressive with chicks?

    Hi all! I really want to let my hens hatch some eggs, but I am wondering how my rooster will react to chicks. Has anyone had a problem with this? He is somewhat aggressive toward kids and fights with our medium sized dog(although the dog loves it). Should I be worried that he will be aggressive...

    Will my chickens attack ducklings?

    My hens seem to be okay with any animals, I guess my main concern is my rooster! He has been getting somewhat aggressive towards my daughter and our dog. He doesn't bother the dog, but the dog tries to play with him and he attacks her, although the dog doesn't care LOL. Thanks for all the input...

    Looking for some information on chickens with ducklings! I currently have 5 hens and a rooster, and I am interested in getting a few ducklings.
