    What is wrong with my rooster

    Candy442: the only reason why I was asking about if chicks would have the same behavior problem is because he is such a beautiful bird that I wanted to breed him. But I won't if it does

    What is wrong with my rooster

    Yes, I have taken him out of the main coup and placed him in the baby side for now, it just really threw me for a loop. I didn't know if anyone else ever had a similar issue kinda hoping it is just because he is so young.

    What is wrong with my rooster

    I have a rooster who is 5 months old, he is already breeding with the hens and he is very handsome! My problem is that he has been picking on certain hens, yesterday he banshed a hen which is one year old to the coup. I found her wet dirty with her head stuck in a corner and most of her...

    Topic of the Week - Feeding table scraps to your flock

    I start mine giving mostly veggies when they are just days old, by the time they are 8 to 9 weeks old they are used to eating different items and usually they will eat happily whatever I put down for them.

    January 2017 Hatch-a-long

    The end tally on my hatch of Jan 1 & 2 is a total of 18, 9 bantam and 9 EE/Maran Clive egger. I set 25 eggs and ended up with almost a 70% hatch rate, I think it isn't bad for a second hatch, my first hatch was barely 50%! The EE crosses were shipped eggs. I am really happy with the hatch and...

    Well through the night 5 bantams hatched and there are 2 that are zipping now, and there are three external pips and two internal pips. I set these eggs on Tuesday the 13th so they really should have hatched tomorrow. I guess they just were so excited to meet the world that they came early:weee
