    how should i introduce new bantams to the big girls in the coop

    I've got 3 older bigger girls and now have 4-4 mo. old bantams (one is a rooster), it is time for these little guys to join the rest of the gang. The big ones are a little territorial, any suggestions on how to make them a big happy family?

    PROLAPSED VENT? HELP!

    I just had a problem with a prolapse. In the worst case possible, she pushed the egg through the wall of the duct into her abdomin (sp?). We had to put her down, as she was not going to recover. Very sad. Do whatever you can to prevent this. See the forum under .very severe prolapse oviduct...

    Very Severe prolapsed oviduct

    My girl started laying her first egg yesterday, she is really too young I think (hatched around April 20). Apparently all day she was pushing and "blew out" her oviduct, with the egg still inside. The egg kept stretching on the thin membrane or skin on the inside of the oviduct. So picture...

    When are my chicks going to lay eggs?

    We are brand new city chicken farmers!!! We bought 4 pullets on April 27, assuming that they were less than a week old. When should we expect eggs? Do we need 4 individual laying boxes or will they all lay in the same one. Also, just got 4-5 week old New England Bantams in hopes to get a...
