One coop has 5 roosters (they all get along) and the other coop has 3 hens and 2 roosters (they all get along, no excess mating or squabbles). Both coops are identical
This is my coop. It's length is 64", width is 38", height is 45". I have it in a stand so it's not directly on the ground. This is he only window it has. The roosting bars are door height. I have been using straw as bedding in the tray.
I have a new layer as of yesterday, an Easter Egger. Today I went and gathered eggs and noticed her egg had some blood on it. Is this normal? Will she be ok? Does she need the vet?
I have a silkie brooding some eggs that were fertilized. The 21 day mark passed yesterday. How long do I go before...
I was just concerned bc at this time of year when it's cold, I wouldn't think they would molt. There is no blood and I've kept and eye on her. I picked her up yesterday and festhersbwere just falling out.
I have a Rhode Island Red Bantam hen named Reba. She is approximately 37 weeks old. She has been dropping feathers like crazy. I was worried about bullying but no one else is losing feathers. Is she molting or do I need to call my chicken vet?? There are pin feathers coming in where they are...
I will try the squirt bottle suggestion. We care about him and raised him from a fluffy chick. It breaks my heart he started doing this. He does hurt through blue jeans even! If he doesn't quit, I will have to get rid of him.
