    Why aren't my Sumatra's breeding.

    Thanks guys, I was wondering if she was actually laying eggs. I mean she is old enough and she eats a ton. I will have to separate her and check her eggs. Thanks. I could have me silkie go broody and hatch them if she lays any.

    Why aren't my Sumatra's breeding.

    I have a pair of sumatras (one male, one female), the male is 1-2 years old and the female is 2-3 years old. I have had both of them for a year and I haven't seen them have any eggs yet. The female should have white eggs, so I might mix them up with my sebright, (she has had 2 clutches). I've...

    Chicken with legs pulled out of the socket.

    I was powdering my D'uccle hen with diatamacous earth when she flew out of my hands, she didn't flap her wings so she fell. After that she crouched for a long time. I picked her up and when she breaths I can hear clicking. When I move her legs the joint on the hips click. Are her legs pulled out...

    D'uccle Rooster Limping

    Yes I realized that the crusty looking stuff was his dirty feathery stubs where he pulled his feathers out. Would it be better if I got a picture of the joint? It looked a bit bigger than the other one. *EDIT* He has been i the cage with just his girls for two days since he started limping. How...

    D'uccle Rooster Limping

    He started limping yesterday, I don't think it is broken because he tends to put a little bit of weight on it but not much, when he sits he curls the toes on the hurt foot. I have a video of him limping: And this picture, he toes look kind of lumpy on the bottom and there are some red spots on...

    Looking for a good website to get small number of chicks or eggs

    I am trying to get a few sumatras for my mother for mother's day but I can't find good website to get a few hatching eggs, they all require me purchase 15-20 eggs at a time. So I looked for chicks instead and I would have to purchase 15 chicks with $50 shipping. Please help me, any recommendations?

    Chicken making weird noise. Freaking me out.

    My black australorp is making a weird seal noise, it seems to be when she breaths because she can't stop making the noise. I caught her but I can't figure out what it is. Any ideas?
