    Rooster damaging hens during mating

    Has anyone had a rooster who is such a Clumsy/violent “mater” that he has torn the skin on the hens’ backs? The first hen about six months ago had a wound that I assumed was from a possible predator attack. It looked horrific but after cleaning and some liquid bandage she healed just fine. I...

    old enough?

    Strangely I was getting my chicks ready to move in to the garage and realized they’re only 4 1/2 weeks but they look so big to me compared to other years!! do you think they’ll be ok with a brooder plate (night temps in 40’s?)

    Baby Chicks- week 2 do I need to cover the top?

    Definitely now. I have mine in a 30 in high playpen and they can fly out at 3 weeks. Make a frame or something that lays flat on top so there's no chance of anyone getting out. Simple rectangular frame with hardware cloth on top should do it.

    The Welsummer Thread!!!!

    My welsummer chicks are almost two weeks old. One of the three has much less feather development (the others have little tails already and their primaries are more grown in) should i be worried this one may be a rooster? I picked all of them for their distinct eye and head markings so i'm hoping...
