    Frizzles

    Awesome! When do they reach their full size? They are 3.5 - 4 months now, that's what the guy said. They are fully feathered, but that doesn't mean much as you know. It's just starting to get chilly outside 40 degrees or so. Should I have them inside for the winter months?

    Cockerel acting weird

    Yesterday, I went into the coop to find this guy sitting in a nest box - hiding. I picked him up and typically there would have been more of a response. When I let him go outside he was very lethargic looking - carried wings low, walked mouth open, and moved slowly. I initially thought maybe a...

    New RIR Rooster ...

    Is there a deadline to when a hen should go broody?

    Is there a deadline to when a hen should go broody?

    I have a Silkie that I believe just went broody today. I am curious as to if there is a "season" so to speak for broodiness and if so is this late in the season for a New England hen? The weather will start getting colder and I'm just hoping hatchlings would be okay.

    HELP! Foamy Eyes, Bronchitid like breathing, culled 6 birds last week and today another bird has it.

    What virus or disease is hitting the chickens and is culling the right move?
