    ••• INTRODUCING: The New Advanced BYC Chicken Breed Database & System

    Hi Nifty! I have been relatively inactive for the last year, since we moved to Sweden and had to leave our chickies Stateside. But now that we are here and I am caring for some Swedish heritage chickens, I was wondering if you wanted breed pages for them? I don't see these little friends in...

    Need to buy a pellet gun

    I don't know if your chickens are full grown yet, but I'm also in the city limits and have both a red tail and cooper's hawk in my backyard regularly. The cooper's picked up one of my hens when she was a pullet, and I chased him (didn't take long) until he released her. But now that they are...

    Please… not what I think it is…

    I had a separated flock for a long time, and still got the spots in my eggs. At this age, you should definitely have noticed obvious roo behavior if you did have one. I think you're safely out of the water!

    Advice about keeping a rooster in the suburbs?

    My roo crows all hours of the day and night! But here are some tips: 1. Bring each of your neighbors eggs, and ask them if they mind the roo. It's hard to say no then. 2. Plant lots of vegetation, like tall shrubs and hedges - it does a remarkable job of muffling sounds. 3. Keep him in a...

    Home Grown Eggs Taste Awful, Why?

    All of this may be repeat info, but I haven't read all your responses. Hopefully it will help. I'd store them without washing them first. Wash at time of use. Also, avoid meat proteins. They get that from bugs and the layer feed. If your chickens eat the following things, their eggs will...

    Sexing Chicks

    I'm afraid this is a challenging skill people go to a special school to learn. Unless you have bred a sex-link breed, you are not likely to be able to do so this early. What kind of chicks do you have?

    Fleas?

    Fleas are a mammalian parasite, so you will never see them bother chickens. However, birds get feather mites, which are just as bad.

    Rooster change

    Supposedly rooster sperm only remains viable for 15 days, but I'd give it a buffer zone. 3 weeks sounds good.

    Missing Belly Feathers?-Help

    I don't know about the scabs, but chickens pluck their breast feathers intentionally when they are setting on eggs. This allows them to press the warm flesh of their tummy on the eggs and keep them warm. The feathers keep their heat near the body, and don't permit it to radiate effectively to...
