    Weird bloody egg and poopy bums?

    I feed an organic layer feed. And then we also give them fruit and veggies scraps when he have them. Oh, we also have fruit trees in their "yard", but they stopped dropping fruit a few months ago and leaves are starting to drop now. We are in central California.

    Weird bloody egg and poopy bums?

    Hi everyone, we've been going along the last year and a half happily. Until recently when I noticed our hens bums seemed to be more... Messy. What's causing their poopy bums? Also, today we cracked open an egg and it was red/ bloody looking inside. Is that related? Are my girls sick, or is this...

    Rooster help

    Does anyone know if his crowing would decrease if I was somehow able to introduce him to the nine hens we have? I'm just wondering if being confined and alone is making him agitated. We really aren't supposed to have a rooster, but I am at a loss. He's very pretty. I know a lot of people like...

    He's a teeny tiny bantam. I wonder if it would be even worth all the work?

    Rooster help

    So, lately I can see that his hormones are raging, and I've been trying to be really careful about handling him, not surpising him and just being careful. Today when put food down in his cage he attacked my wrist. I screamed (because he scared the crap out of me, jumping from across the cage)...

    Rooster help

    Do roosters crow more when they are bored or lonely? One little chick ended up being a roo. When we tried to integrate him into the flock with the older hens, he was attacked - scalped actually. He nearly died. I nursed him back to health, and he's been alone since. We are desperately trying to...

I'm trying to upload some, but it keeps saying my photos exceed the max size, even when I choose the smallest size available. I'd love to enter. Can someone help me out? Or is there an...

    Lets talk about goats!

    Ok, thanks. I ordered a book. The Backyard Goat by Sue Weaver. I flipped through it a little bit and I don't see where she mentions poisonous plants. This seems to be our biggest problem right now. We have a Choke Cherry bush in our yard, and the neighbor has one in their yard, that hangs over...

    Lets talk about goats!

    So, a friend of mine who has goats is suddenly moving out of state. Her husband got a job offer and they decided to sell their doe in milk and doeling. I've milked this goat before. She is very pretty and they are both very mellow. We went and visited again yesterday. They seem to be well looked...

    Could my 2 month old chick be laying already?

    We ate ours :) The yolk looked incomplete, but it was fine.

    Could my 2 month old chick be laying already?

    I think it's just an odd egg from one of your layers. We've gotten one just like that a few weeks ago.

    Do "teenage" roosters have wattles & combs?

    Our sixteen week old roo has the whole rooster look already, but I think some breeds mature faster then others.
