    Advice needed!!!!

    One of my chicks hatched today and the mother abandoned it to go sit on the rest of the eggs (about 8 eggs and they won't hatch for another seven days). I've read that chicks that are raised alone have trouble socializing. Will my chick be ok for another 7 days until the rest of the chicks...

    Strange noise

    Thank you to the both of you for answering. We added some medicine to her water but she wasn't eating or drinking anything. The wheezing started Thursday, she was worse Friday so we took her to the vet and he said she had a respitory issue. He gave as some medicine to give her and when we got...

    Rooster order question

    Today was the day rooster 2 had enough. They fought each other for an hour. When it started getting darker we separated them and put one in the run and the other on the outside and they were still fighting through the fence. It's a bloody mess!!! So glad rooster 2 was finally able to stand up...

    Thank you again to all of you who replied. My whole flock is almost 8 months old. They have 1 1/2 acres they can roam on safely. I have a mix of Orpington's, Bantams, blue bells, and silkie hens. Rooster 1 is an Isa Brown and Rooster 2 is a black copper, Rooster 3 is a silkie and I want to keep...

    Rooster order question

    Thank you so much that helps. If I were to split them into their own pens with their own hens, when I let them out during the day to roam around would I put them back together as one whole group or would they range seperately in two groups?

    Rooster order question

    I have 16 hens and 3 roosters, this post is going to focus on two of the roosters. Rooster 1 is obviously in charge and he does not like rooster 2. He does let rooster 2 stay close to the flock but he chases him away over and over again all day. We have gotten rid of 6 roosters already and are...

    Broody Hen Thread!

    My chickens will be seven months old soon and one of my silkies started being broody about 2-3 weeks ago. Recently three of my other hens have become broody and they are all four sitting in the same nesting box. The one who gets stressed is my silkie when she goes out to get food and water and...

    Broody Hen

    Thank you to the both of you! One thing that was a little strange to me was when I checked on her 2 or 3 days ago there was another hen in the nesting box with her. So, now I don't know whose eggs are whose. Any advice about that?
