    Hen or Roo?

    I have this Creole Polish that I feel is a cockerel but I am not sure. it is about 14 or 15 weeks old, It is very docile, not aggressive at all, and has never tried to crow at all, which makes me want to say hen. Even though the wattles and comb are a darker red, I feel that they are...

    I though Silkies were supposed to slow down during winter!

    I have an 11 month old Partridge colored Silkie, and until this week she has pretty much been a 3 or 4 eggs a week chicken. My Girl "Doris has given me an egg everyday for the last 6 days. Is this uncommon for a silkie? I thought they slowed down during winter. She has turned into an "Egg...

    I have two EE Chicks I hatched from eggs I purchased on Ebay from a girl in New Hampshire. I got 6 eggs but only two hatched. I am praying they are both hens, but with my luck they will not be. Good luck!

    Chicken ordinances in south Mississippi

    Update on my Barred Rock Hen. Still have a question!

    On the 19th of July, I had a Barred Rock Hen started acting funny and could barely walk. After all the comments from everyone, I did determine that she was definitely eggbound. Well, she did pass a large egg a few days later, but it is now the 6th of August and she still walks funny. I am...

    Help, sick Barred Rock!

    Well she passed a verry large egg 2 days ago, and seemed a little better, layed another normal egg yesterday and seems a little better, but still not 100 percent. The other chickens seem to know that she is still not better because they are picking on her pretty bad. She used to be at the top...

    Help, sick Barred Rock!

    My chickens can get out of the sun, my coop is about 2.5 feet off the ground and they can go under it, and my coop/run is only in direct sunlight till about noon and then it is in the shade for the rest of the day. I brought her in last night and put her in a big tupperware tub, with food and...

    Anyone use SAND in the run/coop

    I put sand in my run, because I was tired of the muddy conditions after the rains. My run is only 12' X 6' and I put about 5 inches of sand in the whole thing. Let me tell you, it drains great, and the chickens seem to like it. Itis easy to rake up the poo. I also built a sifter and now I go...
