    Raising pullets with rooster?

    Here is a picture of our problem boy. He is not very good at posing for the camera.

    Improving a Coop

    I will work on getting proper measurements. The run is a large rectangle, the coop is more square shaped. The whole run is fenced in, including the "roof". It is completely open to rain as the "roof" is just wire. The coop is an old shed, so it has small windows, ventilation, and a tiled roof...

    Improving a Coop

    I will work on getting pictures. It has been an extremely wet season, which probably is partly to blame for all the mud. I would take pictures now, but everything is currently covered in snow so you cannot see much of anything. I do own my own chickens, who have a covered run and are free-range...

    Improving a Coop

    I will probably pay for whatever I need, but we have lots of spare wood and DIY materials.

    Raising pullets with rooster?

    Thank you for your reply! He is a couple years old by now, so he is not as crazy for the hens as when he was younger. I will probably end up trying to introduce them in separated pens to make sure he isn't going at them through the fence.

    Improving a Coop

    They are housing about 20-30 hens plus three roosters. They are a working farm, so they are not terribly worried about the condition of the chickens. However, they do know I love chickens and are on board with whatever I want to do for them. As for square footage, that I do not know. I would...

    Raising pullets with rooster?

    As of now, we do not know what type of pullets we will be getting. The rooster is some sort of easter-egger mix. He is on the smaller side and entirely black with an odd comb (perhaps pea or rose comb).

    Raising pullets with rooster?

    Thanks for all the replies! I will work on finding a good way to introduce the chicks and perhaps save the rooster.

    Improving a Coop

    Hello, I volunteer at a farm and take care of the chickens there. The coop is in poor shape and the run leaves a lot to be desired, but I don't think the owners are planning on expanding in the near future. The hens often get bored and end up picking on each other due to the lack of enrichment...

    Raising pullets with rooster?

    Hello, I am volunteering at a farm and they are getting new pullets this spring. We have three roosters, one of which is separated from the others since he tends to fight with one other boy. He is a sweet rooster and does not cause us any problems, so I would feel bad putting him down. However...

    Bumblefoot

    Our rooster and hen had very same scabs when we first removed them. We simply removed them and cleaned the wound before spraying the affected area with Vetericyn and wrapping it. We also had no pus, just the white flesh which I assume is clotted or dried puss. After a couple more removals we...

    Bumblefoot

    Thank you all for the suggestions, we treated our rooster with Frontline and are praying for a speedy recovery. We also removed scabs off one of our hens for what seems to be the last time. Wish us luck I will let you all know what happens.

    Bumblefoot

    Hello, I have a bit of a chicken mystery. I work at a farm and noticed that their rooster had bumble foot. The owners of the farm told me I could own the rooster if I managed to heal him. The rooster is now in my basement and has gone though two bumble foot surgeries as of now. I am considering...

    Hen Cannot Stand!! Please Help!!

    The chickens over at the farm are fairly isolated and not free range. A few of their older chicken died from age, but besides that there is not really anything that would bring marked or any other disease into the coop.

    Hen Cannot Stand!! Please Help!!

    Hello, I have owned chickens for a few years and as far as I can tell, every chicken illness is the same. That is why I have come to the chicken experts for advice! I have chickens of my own but I also help out at a farm a couple houses from where we live. Right now one of their hens has trouble...

    What breed?

    Oh ok. Well it's good to know what she is! She is such a friendly chicken, it must be the way we raised her!

    What breed?

    Or is "Production Hen" a group, or term for several breeds?

    What breed?

    I don't know, on all the photos I looked up I don't see the black on the neck. Do you think she could be a New Hampshire Red?
