    HELP! Chicken with foamy mouth

    I have an old silkie rooster and this morning I noticed he was acting strange and lethargic. He was moving his neck up and down and opening and closing his beak. Upon closer inspection, I could see that there was a strange foam in his mouth and his feathers around his head were soaking wet...

    Chicken Tractor

    I have a large pen I keep them in where they can fly, run, and be happy. I want to make some chicken tractors so I can put them in there for a few hours a day when I can watch them and then put them back in their pen.

    I just have my guineas as pets, I know they won't be able to eat very many ticks from within a chicken tractor.

    Helpful hints for building coops

    I agree. I use a combination of U-nails (as I call them), 1/2 inch staples from my staple gun, and then a board over that.

    That is what the chicken wire is for. To stop predators when I can't.

    Helpful hints for building coops

    Use a staple gun to attach chicken wire (or hardware cloth, which ever you prefer) and then cover it with a 1 inch width trim board so you cant accidentally poke yourself.

    Huge Chicken Coop

    I hope you understand that hardware cloth isn't invincible and a predator can still kill all of your birds. :(

    What to do with my cockerel/rooster chicks?

    I have two roosters, however they do not live together as one is a silkie and the other is a kraienkoppe and the silkie would be killed by it. Your rooster would almost for sure not get along with his sons as you have a limited number of hens. I have had roosters together before, although they...
