He is comfortable around humans, but does not enjoy being touched or picked up. He greets me with a call when I come home or feed him. He was captive...

    Opinions on hen saddles/chicken aprons?

    Thanks for the help! What kind of straps do you use? And yes, the rooster's tail is being plucked out-- he's not just molting. Any advice?

    Opinions on hen saddles/chicken aprons?

    Been seeing a lot of problems with hens loosing the feathers on their backs due to active roosters. Does anyone have any experience with a hen saddles or chicken aprons? What are your opinions? Any good brands? Any side affects or problems? What can I do about a rooster who gets his tail plucked...

    Jumbo or not?

    What is the weight difference for regular vs. jumbo bobwhites? They're larger than the other breeds, so I imagine the weights are totally different.

    How old is too old to breed?

    Yes, one of the hens always steals eggs from the other girls- even the Rhode Island Reds. It's just so funny to see this tiny little girl on top of a bunch of huge eggs.

    How old is too old to breed?

    Thanks so much for the help! He currently has two hens for that rooster. Will they be able to raise chicks at the same time if they are kept together?

    How old is too old to breed?

    I recently hand reared a baby pigeon. I got him when he was roughly 1 week old, and he is now about 1 1/2 months old. He is now eating solid food on his own, has almost all of his adult feathers, and is starting to fly. However, he still makes his baby food begging noise all the time, and never...

    My friend has a couple of Cochin Bantams and is interested in breeding them, however, he's curious if they are too old. What is the ideal age to breed this type of chicken, and how old is too old?
