    Feeling awful for culling my rooster

    At least your roosters were jerks. Mine are the most gentlemen things in this world. And I have to cull them because I can only have 1 roo. I have no idea how to chose 1 to keep out of the bunch.

    Aggressive cream legbar roo

    As owner of a bold CL rooster myself, I sadly think yours is too far gone to be rehabbed. Babying roosters when young tend to bring the worst out of them when they grow up. You should cull him before he seriously injure someone, or if you can't, you should give him to someone who can turn him...

    Update on Peach batch! Mary is 99% a boy! Sunny is 90% girl! Rimini is still 50/50 Caprese is 100% girl! Ammos is 100% girl! No idea about the others yet since they have a pea comb and can't be feather sexed. Caprese has improved a lot and acting pretty much normal now. Siena was lethargic...

    Fixing bad behavior? Help!

    You're starving your chickens. They need to have food available from sunrise to sunset.

    HELP! What is happening to my chick

    Try what @coach723 suggested and see if she improves. Vitamin B deficiency happens in chicks. I use vitamin b complex for human babies, you can find it easily at your pharmacy and it's stronger and better formulated and better preserved than vitamins for animal use. Mine is in liquid form. And...

    My chicken is a bit grown now, but she has a severe leg disability. What do I do?

    My avian vet put pressure to determine if a limb is painful or not, and I guarantee it is clear as the sun if the bird feels pain or not. This chicken is born that way. She is not in pain. Let's stop pretending to do diagnosis and prescribe culling as only cure without even touching the bird.

    which roo should I keep: the less dominate, or the larger more dominate?

    Can you post a picture of the males and females?

    Hens attacking while rooster mates

    Wow... My flock must be made of saints. The other night I was baffled to see that my bachelor flock and my main flock merged and they were all roosting together. They're so peaceful I don't have the urge to cull the extra males anymore.

    Chinese Skullcap root extract for Marek's

    ...This is the most information there is on this forum. As for science, I used to believe in official science. After 2020 I learned the hard way that official science is corrupted and full of ****. Not my fault if they made me became what I am. They did it, not me.

    Chinese Skullcap root extract for Marek's

    No idea about the powder, I'd use pills, they're easier to dose and administer to an animal.

    Tree/Shrub for chickens in yard

    Yes, edible for humans or edible for birds, or edible for whatever creature is edible for chickens. It's all good.

    Tree/Shrub for chickens in yard

    Just make an orchard. Chickens love all type of fruits! Planting non edible trees is a waste of space IMHO.

    it's both a blessing and a curse, because I have a prefab coop that should fit 9 chickens, this means it can fit 4, and currently I have 20 chickens XD none of which is laying eggs right now 🤣

    new research debunks trad views on nutrition

    I've learned, in years of research, that literally everything is carcinogenic. If something isn't carcinogenic, it's just because it wasn't researched enough!

    Kiwi egg #5 is at 99% a quitter - probably quit on day 13-14! I assigned @BoundlessLove egg #4 which looks really good at candling! No idea about the marans eggs, I didn't even try those ones, but in the worst case scenario Kiwi will have one baby. What matters is that she didn't sit for...

    Supplementing with wheat germ oil?

    It makes no sense to me to feed wheat germ oil to chickens. These oils are sold already rancid if not refrigerated. Feed them whole oily seeds instead like hemp or Flax.

    Does anyone use soy/corn-free feed?

    For what I can remember from school, soy is the only legume that has protein the same quality of meat. I don't know if there are other rarer legumes that have the same profile, I'll look it up. But peas for example are missing some essential amino acids. However if you pair peas (or other...
