I will try that with the electrolyte and eggs. No her leg is broken up at the top. Weird spot and not sure how she did it. We managed to get a split on it so hopefully that will help a little. She did perk up a little this evening. She stood up and was standing there on one foot. Feel so bad...
Good Afternoon,
I checked on my chickens before I left the house yesterday and they were all fine. I was gone for less than an hour and when I returned I found one of my chickens laying in the run not moving. I saw she tried to stand but something was wrong with one of her legs. It...
well the youngest hens are 12 weeks. I put them in the coop by themselves for about an hour. Then opened the door to the run. Th entire flock went into coop and they were all fine. When the younger hens went to go out into the run the rooster chased them all over. then he grabbed one by the...
Thank you, They have been in a run next to the flock for 3 weeks. I thought maybe they would be okay. I guess they are a little smaller then the other hens. s I just need to wait. I am just worried about the rooster being mean to them.
Hello, I tried to introduce my 4 baby hens to my flock of 1 rooster and 4 hens. I let the new ones out and the rooster came running toward them. Not sure if he is going to be mean or not. The babies just started squeaking and running from him. He was chasing them. The hens did not come to...
Good Morning,
my 4 hens and 1 rooster are just a year old. The new hens are 10weeks today. The other roosters have been gone for about 1 1/2months. The run is 12ft x 14 ft long The coop is 8x 6. They get to free range everyday in the afternoon too.
Sorry everyone this is my second message today. I will not go through the entire story, but I now have one rooster and 4 hens together. I started with 5 roosters and 4 hens. Anyways, my hens are missing their feathers all on their backs and some wing feathers/broken. This started when all...
She is doing very well. Weird but maybe was just not feeling well. Just transitioning all four hens outside now. I have year old hens and a rooster that we are introducing them to. Thanks for asking.
Well, out of the ten chicks I brought home from my classroom in May, five were roosters. This was interesting for a few months. I now have one rooster and four hens that are 11 months. I just brought home 4 more hens that are three weeks old. Here I go again raising the baby chicks.
Thank you. The one rooster is fine now! It happened when there was five of them. I do have one saddle on one of the hens. This seems to help. Just didn't know if there was something else to help them grow.
Good Morning,
Last year in my classroom I hatched chickens. I took them home to raise them and keep them for the eggs. Started with ten and lost one. Then out of nine I had 5 roosters. I got rid of the roosters (kept one). But now I have hens that have no feathers on their backs or wings...
Good Morning,
I have a baby chick that was running around yesterday and today is just laying around. Any suggestions of what might be wrong or what I can do? Not sure if she is eating or drinking. I have four chicks and the other three are doing just fine. Thanks
Hi everyone. I have not asked a question before so I hope this is in the right spot. Came home today and thought my rooster was going to be dead. He had so much blood down the front of him. Found out it is from his wattle. Not sure what happened. I washed him off and tried to put pressure on...
