    Light Brahma Hen, Weak, Skinny, But Eating/Drinking??

    Thanks for the reply! Is the de-wormer something we could pickup at a store like Tractor Supply? We've never had to do this.

    Light Brahma Hen, Weak, Skinny, But Eating/Drinking??

    We have a Light Brahma who will be two in April. She has always been healthy, but we noticed on Sunday that she seemed kind of weak and out of sorts (closing her eyes while foraging). Upon picking her up we discovered she is skin and bones. You can't tell by looking at her as she has a full coat...

    Golden Laced Wyandotte Rooster in NH in Need of a New Home

    Well, my dad doesn't have a farm. This is a backyard flock. He just started last spring with 6 hens and the one rooster. He lost one hen to a predator and the rooster accidentally killed one hen. So now he has just the 4 hens and the rooster.

    Golden Laced Wyandotte Rooster in NH in Need of a New Home

    My dad has a beautiful Golden Laced Wyandotte rooster that he would like to re-home. He has gotten a bit aggressive and is plucking feathers from his hens. Maybe he would do better in a larger flock with another rooster to put him in his place? He would be great for breeding as he sure is a...

    Muscovy Ducks in Need of a Good Home in Southern NH

    I purchased three, day old Muscovy ducks in early April. They ended up being two ducks and one drake. They were hand raised in our home for the first six weeks and then went out to our small backyard flock of 6 hens. All went quite well for a while, the ducks all go up to the coop with the hens...

    Aggressive Muscovy Drake...Suggestions??

    We got three Muscovy ducklings in April when they were just one day old. They were hand raised in the house for the first six weeks and then moved out to our coop with five chicks of the same age, and our lone remaining hen. We have two ducks and one drake, and all had been well until about a...

    Muscovy Duck- Angel Wing???

    Thank you for responding! So would you wait a week or so before wrapping to be sure that it is in fact angel wing and not just normal drooping? He will be seven weeks this Friday. We just moved them out to the coop last Friday and they are adjusting nicely, I hate to torture the poor guy with a...

    Muscovy Duck- Angel Wing???

    We got three Muscovies at a day old, they are now six weeks and their wings are coming in. I believe we have two females and one male (he is much bigger and has thicker legs and bigger feet). The male has one wing that is drooping outward a little and I am concerned about angel wing. When he...

    Mixed Breed Roosters (Silkies? Ameracauna?) in Need of Home Southern NH

    I have 2, possibly 3 roosters (9 weeks) in need of homes. Our White Rock went broody over the summer, and she hatched out 6 chicks with some eggs given to us by a lady at our local feed store. She said she has many breeds, silkies being one, which is evident due to the "mohawks some of these...

    Good home(s) for roosters in NH

    Our White Rock went broody over the summer and we obtained some eggs for her to try hatching out. We got 6 chicks and have enjoyed watching mama care for them. It looks as though we have 3 roosters and 3 hens...I am fairly confident that 2 are roosters (in the photos these are the 2 with the...

    Rooster??

    That's what I thought :/ I'll see if I can get some photos of the others. This one definitely has the most prominent comb.

    Rooster??

    So these guys (or hopefully girls) will be 3 weeks old tomorrow. I have no idea what they are...mixed breed of some sort. Our White Rock here "Peep" went broody over the summer and a lady at a local Tractor Supply gave me 8 eggs. We got 6 chicks! She had a variety of breeds, silkies were the...

    Separating chicks in a very small flock?

    Thank you so much! I feel much better now! We had totally planned to allow them to be with the rest of the flock...the mother hen has always been the "top chicken" and the other two usually hang together and stay clear of her anyway. I did buy starter/grower for mama and chicks and they all seem...

    Separating chicks in a very small flock?

    Hello all...I apologize if this has been answered. We have 3 Plymouth Rocks (1 Barred, 1 Partridge and 1 White). Our White girl "Peep" went broody in July and a lady from our local Tractor Supply gave us some eggs from her flock to try hatching (we don't have a rooster). She had advised us to...
