    EMERGENCY broken leg

    Update :) Lil Bit went back outside on day 3 because she was much more active than the other two and started pecking them. She is doing fine. Both Big and Five continue to be splinted, they have one more week for the two week time frame to be over. Five seems to be doing better than Big, she is...

    EMERGENCY broken leg

    Thanks! I will see how they are doing in the morning and give them some Gatorade if they are not drinking. I will also look for the drops tomorrow when I am in town for the baby aspirin. Thanks for being so helpful! Honestly I thought the one girl, who is being the most perky and normal, was the...

    EMERGENCY broken leg

    No punctures, but I could feel where it was broke. They are cuddled together sleeping right now. Should I wait till morning or wake them up and make them drink?

    EMERGENCY broken leg

    Help! I don't want to go into details because I feel like a complete idiot and I have been crying for an hour. Two of my chickens have broken legs and one was scratched up on her face. I am going to doctor the one with some salve, but I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO SPLINT A CHICKEN. Please please please...

    Giant rooster, Banty hens

    I have been looking at some saddles. Is there a reason to get snaps vs just elastic? My husband thinks they are ridiculous, but he will get over it. Also bigger rooster will not affect egg size correct? The hens will lay whatever their normal size is, the chick will just doubtfully not be a...

    Giant rooster, Banty hens

    Hi all! I have a dilemma of sorts. My Giant Cochin "pullet", Big Mamma, wound up being Mister Big instead. He is a very beautiful bird and was the first one I picked out for my chicken coop. However, believing he was a she and not a he, I have a mixed flock that is half Banty hens. I am now...

    Eggbound Evil.

    This is very sad, but you seem to be blessed and a blessing to these ladies at the same time. I know it must be heart breaking to lose them after you have grown to love them. Yet- it seems like they need you, even shortly, so that they may have a happy rest of their lives however long that it...

    odd behavior

    Well it was breeding one of the two standard hens I have. It is a good rooster (still praying a confused pullet lol) tho, it is always the last one in at night and sleeps in front of the door, sometimes even in the doorway. On the first night it slept out in the run with a banty who didn't want...

    odd behavior

    :( it worries me because if it is a roo it is the biggest (and not done growing) chicken in the flock. Will this be okay with my banty hens? I love this beautiful bird, but I don't want my ladies to be in danger either!

    odd behavior

    One of my "pullets" was on top of a hen apparently breeding her tonight. Is that something that happens from time to time? Or is she possibly a he?
