    sick cochin hen

    I've got a 5-7 month Cochin bantam hen who lives with three other standard sized hens and has come down with some sort of illness. She is sitting fluffed up and not moving much. I don't see any injuries and her breathing seems normal. No discharge anywhere, although she has a slightly runny...

    Sex-link crosses???

    I have heard of many sex-links, like golden comets, that are like crosses with rocks and RIR's and stuff. But what would you get if you crossed a RIR rooster with a barred rock hen? Would it also be a sex link, and if so, how would the boys and girls look different? Thanks in advance for any...

    Polish Coop/Run size???

    I am thinking of getting a polish rooster and two polish hens. I am wondering if a 4ftx4ft coop raised 2ft off the ground with a 12ftx4ft run if a good size for this amount of birds. They will probably be standard sized.

    How to raise meanworms as chicken treats?

    Hello! I like to feed my hens the dried mealworm treats, but they eat them so quickly, I was wondering if I could raise mealworms to feed them.

    Coop/Run size question!!!

    I have two barred rock hens (standard-sized) and an old english game bantam hen (VERY pretty bird!) in a 4sqft coop with three nest boxes, and they have an 8x4ft run attached to it. It is entirely fenced in, even the top, so they are not really harassed by predators. I want to expand their home...

    Where can I find silkies in Michigan?

    I would like to get some silkie hens, either as young adults or chicks. I live in southwest Michigan, Berrien County, near St. Joe, Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids, etc. I would accept picking them up myself, as long as it wasn't too far away, or receiving them in the mail. Any suggestions?

    How do I keep my birds warm in Michigan winters?

    In southwest Michigan, we get our fair share of lake effect snow and plenty of cold. Can I install a heat lamp or something I can use inside the coop all winter? Any suggestions? Also what about heated water dishes? What are some good brands?

    Is a single chicken going to need a friend?

    Ok, so my neighbor gave us his last chicken because the rest of his got killed by some woodland critter. He let it out and it ran right into our garage, so I guess were keeping it. We gave it some bread, seeds, pet grass, and water and we will get it a coop and regular food soon. It is a red...
