    White Sultan breed standard question

    I went to a poultry show and saw a "show" sultan. I noticed the head was full of densely packed feathers like a polish. After talking to the owner he said he had used a polish in the breeding. Mine don't have that same look. However mine look more like the old pictures of sultans. In a...

    Buttercup seems to be feather challenged or has a real problem?

    She is about a year and half old. It hasn't been very cold here yet so I didn't know if that had something to do with it. I was beginning to wonder if she would be the first chicken to need a sweater this winter.

    Buttercup seems to be feather challenged or has a real problem?

    So at the start of summer our rooster made Buttercup his favorite. She lost a lot of feathers. Unfortunately a fox ate our rooster in June. I kept thinking she would regrow her feathers by now. Shouldn't she be molting? Do I need to do anything for her? Cold it be something else keeping...

    Sick 1 week old chick - respiratory problems?

    The sick chicken seems to be alert, eating and drinking as far as I can tell. The only thing I have noticed is it seems to be colder than the others. It is the first to run under momma.

    I have 3 one week old silkes that have been hatched from mail order eggs. I have a brood hen that has hatched them and mothering all 3 chicks. One of the chicks a few days ago started mouth breathing. I started giving it Polyvisol because I couldn't figure out what else to do. However...

    My roo is getting FRISKY

    I just started keeping chickens a year ago and ended up with a rooster accidently too. I was really freaked out about eating eggs out of my backyard let alone fertilized ones. However I made a cake with them once and quickly realized that there is no difference. Just try and see if you can...

    Chickens eating paint

    Well in my limited experience it doesn't seem to hurt them. Provided it isn't lead paint. Eventually my rooster stopped obsessing over the paint and moved on to other things.

    Fox?

    Yes and yes. Once they know the chickens are there they will be back. Maybe not the next night but soon. They are very smart and knew the dog wasn't around. They will also attack at 3pm not just early am. Trapping it would be the best remedy but good luck they are sly. The dog should keep...

    Help!! Vent leaking on broody.

    I'm so sorry I somehow missed this post. First of all, thank you for your reply. So this is how it turned out. I took her into the vet (who knew nothing about chickens). However the vet was able to correct the vent and push it back inside. I took her home and just isolated her for the night...

    Swollen Vent??

    One of my hens had the same type vent problem. It isn't something to ignore. I ended up taking mine to the vet and they basically pushed it back in. I watched her for a few days but that seemed to fix her up. Don't know if that helps but thought I would pass it along.
