It wasnt abuse. I'm against animal cruelty. The rooster attacked him first and he was useing self-defence. Unfortunatly, it was a little over kill.
I love this story and I feel like it might help with some people with roo problems.
So I had this REALLY mean roo, right? I had been debating on whether or not I should kill him. Not likeing either of my options, my mom comes up with a solution. Why not carry around a little metal rake to chase...
My chick has been doing fine for the past couple of days, but tonight she started up again. My mom tried giving it some freash water and let her walk around for a bit. She is really strugling to get air. its like she is gasping
Please help
PLEASE HELP! Since last night, one of my little 4 day old chicks has been having problems breathing. It sounds almost like she has a sinus infection. She will streach her neck out and open her mouth and let out a little nasaly snot-like noise. Almost like she has liquid in her lungs?
She does...
I just went out to check on my birds and I noticed tiny fly-looking things. They are lying all over my birds. I noticed it mostly with my little silkie. The other birds are eating them off of them. I'm not sure what they are or if I'm just overreacting ove a couple of bugs

Last night one of my favorite chickens died. She was the skinniest of my flock. Other than being skinny, there were really no problems with her. I acctually had to chase her around the yard yesterday to get her out of the rain. I have been crying all morning. Not sure what to do with myself
My Freashman year I joined FFA. My Advisor told us about our SAE project. No one was doing anything very interesting with their project, they all did something on their dogs or their job. I went home and asked my mom if we could get some chickens for my project. I honestly didnt think she would...
When my chicks were little (and I guess they still do) they would peck and bite at my nails, but only when I had painted them. They couldn't stand it.
I was currious if your chicks do this too. Its kinda strange. They also didnt like the moles on my arms and acctually bit one off, lol.
I wanted to post some pictures of my babies

When my chickens were still chicks, I kept them in one of our back rooms with the door closed. The cats were not aloud in at ALL. The only time I let them into was when they were big enough to peck at them if the cats tryed to get at them. Aft3er they went outside, my chickens and cats managed...
