I guess it's their policy to provide an extra rooster in case there was an error while determining their breed. Also they are both Buff orpingtons, which are usually pretty nice in general.
Hello,
So just today we went to pick up baby chicks, and this is the first year we decided to get a rooster. But the chick provider gave us 2 males, and said that they always provide an extra rooster. So if they both grow up into roosters, will they cause problems and fight? Or will they get...
Thanks. We applied some hydrogen peroxide to the wound and It's looking like shes gonna be OK. We're mixing electrolytes in her water and keeping her in the horse trailer overnight so the other chickens cant pick on the wound.
Hello,
Just today, we noticed that one of our Red Stars had most of its wing ripped off. We're not sure when or how it happened, because we weren't home for the last few days. Its acting normal and doing its normal activities with the rest of the flock. What the best treatment for this?
Thanks
This year for the fair, I'm doing a project on the Avian flu, since there has been an outbreak in the US. I'm just beginning my research, so I would appreciate any tips/suggestions/facts about it! :)
Just lock them up in the coop for a week or so and they'll get attached to the roost, and if you don't want to do that just look for them at night and put them in the roost.
