    Help me help my rooster please!!!

    Hi. About a week ago I noticed that my rooster's crow started to sound funny. In the middle / higher part of his crow it was like a scream or how someone would sound loosing their voice or with a sore throat. Other than that nothing seems wrong. Now a week later it is his entire crow that...

    An egg hatched now what?????

    Thank you for your responses. I have 4 out of 6 now. I did move her as one of them fell out of the nesting box and it freaked her out! She didn't want to sit on the other eggs at first but I kept putting them under her again when I would check on her. So 3 chicks and 3 eggs were moved to the...

    An egg hatched now what?????

    So 3.5 weeks ago I noticed one of my hens acting funny. She was all puffed up and making noises. I thought at first that it was because we got some new hens and she was letting them know who was boss. Then I thought maybe she was actually egg-bound when I noticed she sat in a nesting box all...

    An Egg in the Run...OH BOY!

    I bought a dog pen and wrapped around the existing fence with chicken wire the ENTIRE thing top, bottom and all sides. I thought I could just butt it up to the side of the shed where their door and ramp are and cut out a part of the pen. But the links will unravel if I just cut them. So I...

    What is wrong with my chicken?

    I wondered about the ear lob development, but out of 9 chicks this is the ONLY one who has this. And the other side doesn't look bloody, just pinkish. I'll keep you posted! Thank you again!

    What is wrong with my chicken?

    Since I posted this, yes, there is something on the other side as well. Not nearly as visible or bright red in color. Are you going to tell me something simple like my hen is a rooster? Or is this something horrible? I have searched and searched the internet, but I cannot seem to find any...

    What is wrong with my chicken?

    I went out to my 7 week old chicks today to find that one has this red "thing" on the side of her head. At first I thought it was an open wound or sore. When I took her out to look at it, it seems more like a blood blister. It is a "sac" of sorts. But it doesn't look like it is going to...
