    Is this a normal comb & wattle size??

    Thank you so much! I feel good about it because it's one of the things I've always wanted to do and just decided to do it. You might be surprised to know that I got a lot of my lumber came from a local distillery that is building new barns and they have a huge pile of wood that they just scrap...

    Is this a normal comb & wattle size??

    You know, I've never had a lot of luck with my roosters in the past. I had a rooster that I named ducky, which is my profile pic, and he was really sweet and would follow me around everywhere and let me pick him up and pet him. When he started to come into his testosterone, I guess you could...

    Is this a normal comb & wattle size??

    No it's not my first winter with chickens but it is my first winter with a rooster like this. I've never had any issues or sicknesses (knock on wood 🪵) other than one of my hens had an inflamed preen gland. I would put her in a bath of Epsom salts and rub it with ointment. This took care of the...

    Is this a normal comb & wattle size??

    I live in Parksville, Kentucky. We have a big mountain behind us that hides the sun a lot of the time. This makes it even colder than in town. With the wind chill at times it can definitely get below zero. I usually buy several bales of straw to line the inside of my building with and put it...

    I'm not sure what to do other than bring him in my utility room. That will be hard to keep him there all winter though.

    Is this a normal comb & wattle size??

    I thought about that. We can get pretty cold winters. I wonder if keeping it covered in Vaseline would help?

    Is this a normal comb & wattle size??

    Hi! I don't know if I've put this in the right place or not but I have a rooster with a huge comb and wattles. I wondered if anyone had ever seen chickens like this? The picture doesn't do it justice, it looks so much bigger in person. In this picture/ video he has blood spots all over his comb...

    Aspergillosis in one day old chic???

    Ok so everyone knows, the chick was doing this beforehand. That's what caught my attention. I did not start giving it drops of honey liquid until I separated it from its mama. I wanted to make sure it stayed hydrated. I've been extremely careful. Like I said, I had a tiny bead of liquid on the...

    Aspergillosis in one day old chic???

    Sorry forgot to answer this. I ordered them through the mail. I received 14 and I incubated them. All 14 hatched with no issues. I'm using a basket with a small soft blanket and a heating pad underneath. I keep it right next to the container I have the mama and other 13 chics in. It likes to be...

    Aspergillosis in one day old chic???

    I haven't forced any liquids. I only started giving it honey water through a syringe. I had a bead of liquid at the tip of the syringe and I would put it to the tip of its mouth. It would take the liquid that way. I wasn't forcing it.
