    Rooster killing hens

    Long story short, we have two flocks. Never had an issue with one, but the rooster in the other flock has killed three hens. The first time was a few months ago. He killed one and we thought it may have been an accident but then he killed another one shortly after. So we isolated him for a...

    Please help with weak baby chicken!! He keeps falling asleep?

    I had a problem similar to this when my clutch of 7 hatched recently.The egg shells of the other babies hatching wrapped around one baby’s shell and I didn’t even notice it for hours. I went back and noticed it. Get the shells off and waited to see if it would come out. Hours later, still no...

    Rooster Identification

    oh my goodness, I feel so dumb. I don’t know why I didn’t figure that out before! I’ve just never been too familiar with easter eggers. I thought for sure he looked like a Faverolle roo. Thank you sooo much!!

    Rooster Identification

    I’ve had this boy for over two years now. I believed he was perhaps a Faverolle for the longest time but he doesn’t have the extra toe. What do you think he could be? A Faverolle or something else? His name is Crowe. He’s the sweetest thing. Never pecked or flogged us or my one year old. Never...

    Night of the living chicken...

    All of my chickens have done this!! My chickens are pets though, raised indoors and taken on car rides often. My little hen always gets on my shoulder, but sometimes I dont want my clothes roughed up either. She takes her beak and kind of pecks me, but its more like she drags it downward on my...

    Egg bound emergency

    Thank you for responding. She does not have a prolapse and sadly has not passed the egg yet. But the hemmorhoid cream worked very well, last night it was a giant blood red buldge and this morning when I checked on her the swelling was completely gone. Her feathers aren't ruffled, she is eating...

    Egg bound emergency

    Okay so this is a little different than other posts on here. I have a parakeet that is egg bound. I know this site is for chickens but my problem isn't currently in the coop. I figured you guys would know about dealing with this stuff. She has been bound since yesterday but she has been able to...

    What breed is my rooster?

    I got a new rooster today! His name is Crow and he is very sweet. The person I got him from said he was an ameracuana, but to me he doesn't really look like one? They were also unsure of his age. So could anyone give me an educated guess as to what you think he is and his age?

She bathes every day but her underside is pretty much stained brown(It looks like she has sat in a heavy smoker's home for years and got nicotine stained haha) but I was just wondering if there was...

    Choosing to Free Range

    Chickens aren't like other animals. They know what home is, and I've found thaf they really don't like exploring other areas Or wandering off. I take my chickens to the park, I'm a familiar face, so they follow me. They stick to what they know. They will go back in the coop at night and they...

    Will my hen be okay?

    I'll try to make this long story short. I've raised two chickens, hen and rooster, together since they were about a week old. They were both inside pets. They were never apart for over a year(they turned 1 in October) and yesterday we had a freak accident. My rooster ended up getting his head...
