    Is the base attached to the bricks below somehow? Or is it just stable because of the weight..

    Polish: SL roo over GL hen?

    Hello! I have a few polish growing up, including a SL rooster, and both SL and GL hens. What colors would come from a SL roo over a GL hen? Is the same true for other breeds such as Wyandottes? Thanks for the help!

    Polish Crest trimming partly accomplished!

    I have a gold laced polish about 3 months old. It's crest is starting to tip to one side, making it hard to see out that eye. The skin is actually sitting more heavy on that side. Is that normal? I don't want to cut the feathers if I can help it (we sell the chicks and having a full grown...

    Roosters Pros and Cons

    My rooster, Bernanke. We actually have 4, with 30 hens. 2 aren't old enough to crow or jump on the girls yet. Working on some breeding groups right now! We put the two crowing roosters in the garage at night. Keeps peace with our neighbors, and I get to sleep in. Life is good with our roosters. :)

    Broody Hen FAIL - Advice?

    Okay, so I've had this hen, Tikka, a sexlink mix. She's really had a rough go of the broody thing. I would love for it to work, but if it turns out she just sucks at being broody, I'm not gonna keep trying. Broody Time #1 I left her in one of the nesting boxes, where the other hens lay...

    Have you heard of the rooster collar? You can read about it here. I have no idea how well it works. http://www.mypetchicken.com/catalog/chickens/No-Crow-Rooster-Collar-p1580.aspx

    Button Quail Fighting

    Okay, so I need some advice! I have 4 quail, 2 bobwhite and 2 coturnix. They are probably 6 weeks old? Not laying yet, but not babies anymore.. I can't remember exactly how long i've had them. I think the bobwhite are both boys and the coturnix are both girls. (Could have that backwards though)...

    another bubbly eye question - **pics**

    Have you guys seen this before? His feathers cause the skin to fall on top of the right eye, and he's got a pretty bad eye infection. I have some drops from a vet, and I cut back the feathers, any other ideas of what I can do?

    Eye infection in Polish roo

    This is what I'm dealing with. :/ we just adopted this boy, and he's got a major eye infection. I've got drops from the previous owner, and I cut back his crest pretty dramatically because it was heavy on the one side and pushing skin into his eye. Is there more I can do??

    Getting chickens to use the roosts.

    I had this problem with some birds I adopted. They just would not sleep on the roosting sticks, even though all the other birds would. Wanted to sleep in the nesting boxes, super annoying. :/ makes it all poopy! Anyway, what I did, was to start going out after dark and actually picking them up...

    having major humidity issued in home made incubator

    I am having a HORRIBLE time with my incubator. I don't know if it's cause of the summer, but I can't control how much the temperature fluctuates in my house! I try desperately to keep it right at 100, and it's down to 95 in the morning when I wake up and 102 when I get home from work in the...
