I am sorry to hear about your boy! I raised my RIR from birth, and I loved him. But then he became aggressive and attacked me every day! I would just carry a stick and swat him. And then my daughter came to visit with my 2-year-old grandbaby. That rooster ATTACKED HER AND TORE HER FACE ALL...
I purchased a hen saddle (like a little apron that she wears) and it helps a LOT!! My chickens were born April 2017 and the rooster(s) still tear my girls up. They have not had feathers on their backs since LAST YEAR!! I have a Brahma rooster and a little Bantam that rules the roost! I have...
I had a RIR like that. He attacked me DAILY, he attacked my 2yr old grandbaby and knew he needed to go, but I loved him so I kept him. Finally he killed my beautiful BRAHAMA HEN, so I turned him over to the Amish. They haven't eaten him yet, but I'm sure they will. Very sad because I loved...
Good! Now I know what kind of chick I have....I was wondering! I bought what was suppose to be an AUSTRALORP but I was wondering, as I thought Australorp's were solid black, mine too has white at the tips of her 3 leading feathers. She is beautiful. I say SHE because that is what I bought...
I have it all lined up to drive to you. How soon are you moving? I promise they will be very well cared for. I love my babies. I currently have 4 roosters, 4 hens and 2 baby pullets. My babies free range all day and have a coop FIT FOR ROYALTY!! My boys are:
1) Americauna (that was SUPPOSE...

Please help!!! My poor FAVUCANA is passing blood on her eggs. I'm worried about her .She will be a year old in June. So she has been laying since the fall. This just recently started .
Pleeeeeease help!! I ended up with 4 roosters and 4 hens. Not exactly my idea of perfect, but it is what it is. I love them all and have no intention of killing/eating or giving them away. So what can I do? I have a NHR that keeps attacking. I just swat him but he jumped my 2 yr old...
:hit got 6 chickens in April. My RIR or whatever the heck he is (female too) have both become pretty aggressive. Just went out to the coop and found my precious little Sebright DEAD! Pretty sure that horrible rooster did it! Short of killing him, what can I do to prevent this again?? I have...
oh my gosh!! I`m new to this whole chicken thing. After reading this, I`m pretty sure I`ll just stick with EGGS, I would be devastated for my little chicks to die! :`-(
I bought 6 chicks this year (at Easter time) from Tractor Supply, I think they are all just "muts"
2 of them are red (male and female) 2 of them are black (female) and then a Porcelain d`Uccle bantam (male? female? idk...) beautiful white, with some pale blue feathers and feathered feet. 3...
I got chicks (6) at Easter. 2 of mine are black sex links. Both have very unique and different personalities. I just adore them. They are friendly and personable. I ordered (5) babies and they are 2 weeks old tomorrow. They are completely different than the first 6. (first 6 came from...
