    Double yolked eggs?

    My son was asking because we’ve been getting a LOT of these. If they’re fertilized and brooded will they hatch out 2 chicks or will only 1 develop?

    Aggressive Roos. What to do?

    I started carrying a rake with me every time I go feed. I just shake the rake at my roo and tell him "it's you or me boy, and it's gonna be me!" and haven't had a problem since. Its worth it since otherwise he's a good rooster. And it's only me. No one else in the family.

    How long for remaining flock to recover?

    Hi, all. My chickens have free range of our fenced in 1.2 acre around our house. A few nights ago, my son heard squawking and went out to investigate. There was a strange dog in our yard (who got in through a broken slat in the fence we found out the next day) chasing our chickens around in the...

    Chick with mobility issues- injury or defect?

    I bet her legs/feet were just formed differently or compressed in the egg and that's what caused the "deformity". She will probably learn to adapt but will be the first vunerable to predators in a flock.

Since we were a zoo of "indigenous animals of Texas" the director wanted to keep them. The...
