    Break broody in side yard?

    Sorry to interrupt this thread but I am having the same problem, only worse. We only have three hens, two are RIRs and the other is a mutt. The mutt is just over a year old and this is the second time she has gone broody. The first time, I put her in a very large dog cage with no straw or...

    BluKote or Pine Tar--which is better?

    Thank you, gritsar. I don't have a need for it at the moment but I like knowing about different products and people's opinions about them in case I ever do need it.

    Is it possible for a chicken to NEVER lay an egg?

    Sorry to hi-jack this thread, but really? Hens stop laying eggs after a couple years or so? Just curious!

    How many 'wash'/'don't wash' your eggs?

    Question for those familiar with Rhode Island Red chicks

    Thank you both for your responses, it makes me feel better for them if that's pretty much the "norm". I will still check them for mites, just to be sure.

    Question for those familiar with Rhode Island Red chicks

    No, I haven't checked for mites. Would it be easy to see them, are they white? Or do you need a magnifying glass to see them?

    Question for those familiar with Rhode Island Red chicks

    About three weeks ago or so, I bought four RIR chicks from a local feed store and they said the babies were about a week and a half old. They were little fuzz buckets, very cute. As these babies have grown and developed feathers, they just don't....look pretty. I'm not one for looks, it's not...

    Chick viciously attacked by adult chickens

    Oh dear. I just went out to check for eggs and look in on everybody. Had some scraps to throw to the big chickens and they all filed out of the coop into the yard. Went around to where the baby chicks are separated and I was missing one chick. Looked and looked and finally found it over...

    Penning up the rooster

    Thanks, lovinlife. He's been in this large dog cage all afternoon and right now when I look at him, he's beginning to get more and more frantic. The girls have been walking around the cage from time to time and one in particular seems concerned about her man, but I also notice that the young...

    Penning up the rooster

    I have a little banty rooster who is not so nice.....to us or the baby chick that we hatched out at the end of May. This little rooster has also made a bald spot on the back of one of the hens. Rather than putting a saddle on the hen, I have decided to pen the rooster up in a large dog cage...

    Please help me understand, don't know what to do for this baby

    Thanks, Sunny-Side-Up. Yes, it lives in a very large dog cage and that cage is inside the chicken shed. They've always been exposed to each other, the adults and chicks. The adults get into their chicken yard through a small hatch but the babies stayed in the cage for a long time, then we...

    Please help me understand, don't know what to do for this baby

    Hello, any advice is appreciated! I had two baby chicks hatch on May 30th and 31st and they've been growing along just fine, until today. Unfortunately, my little dog killed one of the chicks this morning and has gotten a sound thrashing for it. We've had chickens for over a year and this is...

    Free banty rooster in central Texas

    Sorry, I have no idea. A friend gave him to me last year in May and this has been my first year with chickens. He's a great little guy, used to be real sweet.
