    Lavender Orpington Roosters

    Thank you everyone. We ended up processing two of them today. So now I have two roosters. I will either try to rehome the other one or see how it goes with two roosters.

    Lavender Orpington Roosters

    My coop size and flock size just can't take 4 roosters. I have 8 girls. We do not have any plans to build a seperate coop. We do not really have a space to do that.

    Lavender Orpington Roosters

    They are 5 months. Two are going after my girls alot. The other two are very docile. None have attacked me or my kids.

    Lavender Orpington Roosters

    I have 4 lavender Orpington Roosters from the summer. I plan on keeping one. How do i decide which one. Also, I struggle with culling a rare breed like this. How do i look about rehoming the other three or should I just turn them into meat birds? A separate rooster coop is not an option for us.

    Winter waterers

    I have a metal water fountain and a bed pipe with nipples fountain. Both are freezing and impossible to break up. What do you all use to water chickens for winter? Can I fix either of these or do I need to buy new?

    Chicken Wing Injury

    We redid the bandage based on your post. I snapped a couple of pics quick in between. My husband now thinks the break or dislocation may be higher on her wing.

    Humerus where it connects to the body. My husband has her in a "splint" he just made so it's hard to take a picture to show. We noticed the wing this morning.

    Chicken Wing Injury

    My one Isa browns left wing is drooping down. I am assuming broken. She is young just born this spring. Can I do anything at home to help fix this? Do they heal naturally? or do I have to put her down? Thanks!

    Thanks, I am going to retake in a couple of weeks and cross my fingers I have at least 2 or three that are girls! For the feathers, do you have any suggestions to help them come in better? I have a group of a few ISA browns whose feathers are fine with the dust bathing in the ground by their...

    only two of mines combs are that big so maybe there is hope for one or two more? I am going to wait another two or three weeks then retake pictures and try to figure out what to do.

    Thanks we have sand in the run and they have access to lots of dirt outside on 2 acres. They are not the best at roosting at night for some reason like to sleep on their belly's but they are starting to roost more now!
