    2 and a half year old Hen becoming a Rooster

    Thanks for the input. I have read some more on it. Someone suggested separating her for a week and holding her to remind her that she is not top dog. She was a really good layer and I hope she can reverse the curse.

    One Dozen 11 Week old Pullets plus One FREE Cockerel

    I have cold hardy breeds because of our winters. I got 28 chicks on February 1st. I do not need a flock that large. Most hatcheries will ship no less than 25 chicks due to cold weather and their survival during shipping. So I need to get rid of at least half the flock. These pullets are very...

    Sick Symptoms

    Thank you very much. I have ordered some powder and Safeguard. Hope it works. This chicken has been like this for a while and I thought it was the cold bothering her. But now she is laying and eating and drinking, but just sleeps all day. When she is pecking around she has one eye closed. I...

    Sick Symptoms
