Hi all, I have a missing hen.i have no idea where she is!i came to close the fence one night and I counted five times just to be sure she wasn't there my neighbor came by to tell me he found white chicken feathers in his yard. What could have done this? At first I thought hawks but I don't think...
Thanks I am trying to sell the new roo...when I bought him he was supposed to be a hen. I am glad they are a nice breed they are very pretty. So far 21 days looks right... Some even hatching at 20.
Hi all, I have a few things to ask. I am getting around six new chicks for spring this year and I am getting two new breeds that I've never had before. Speckled Sussex and buff brahmas. I am curious about their temperaments and if they are a good breed for families with children. Thanks. I have...
Hi everyone i have delt with small chips in beaks but my roo seems to have quite a large amount of his beak missing. He does seem to he struggling with eating especially when he tries picking up the scratch off the ground an out of my hand. I am wondering if his beak will grow back all the way...
I'm just shocked it even went for her. We are keeping the other ones in today just in case it decides to come back. We repaired the whole near the top of the door. I hope it holds this time.....I really don't want to have another hawk attack. It really is so sad seeing one less hen. Thanks to...
Thanks so much but the door has a small opening do you think the hawk could have gotten through that? It was near the top of the pen. the wire had come loose. my nighbor saw it while walking ..... A bit too late he tried saving her but by the time he saw it ,it was already trying to fly away...
My poor little silkie hen , Raven, was dragged out of her coop by a large hawk while she was sitting on eggs. My Roos all ran and hid under my car while the poor defenseless hen had her head torn off. I had gone across the street for only a few minutes and had no idea what was going on.......I...
Hi everyone, I have an issue with one of my chicks. The others all looked normal but this one has white skin, black eyes, and its feathers are very white. I know that albino animals normally have red or pink eyes. If this is an albino chick will it have any health issues? It is a silkie if that...
She doesn't seem to have any visible injuries but I an not sure about internal ones she has drank a lot of water I assume that's good and I managed to get food down her. I had no Idea he'd do this to a chick he is normally so nice I really wonder what triggered such behavior it's strange for...
I had my four month old silkies outside and my roo flew out and got in top of one of them and started violently ripping out her feathers! I brought her in and she has just been laying in her box. I don't know if this is shock or or if she is hurt. I don't really no what to do if she is hurt or...
Thanks I will try that we had a heat lamp in the coop but he likes to constantly protroll the yard. We have been keeping them in the enclosed run for the past few days the snow is pretty deep for them. So he has been around it more.
Hi everyone I have a rooster who has a black spot on his wattle and he was laying down in an odd position. Then I noticed that my other rooster had the same thing on his comb but he wasn't laying down and acting lethargic like my polish. Is this frost bite due to the snow and cold or something else?
Hi everyone my hen pandi eats the other girls eggs I thought at first she was just doing it beacause she doesn't like them. They were raised at different ages.
Thanks we have hit him with a stick not very hard though my husbend said he flew at him so he hit him on his tail feathers and sorta pushed him.......into his coop and locked him up while the others wondered the yard.
