    Mother hen killing her babies

    Hi - My hen has been a great broody and hatched out a few eggs a couple days ago. Yesterday I walked out to the coop and found one of the newly hatched chicks bloody with it's neck disconnected from its body. My first thought was that the rooster had done it, so today I separated the rooster so...

    two hens sleeping in one nesting box...?

    Hi There! I have four chickens in this one coop in my yard (one rooster three hens). Just recently my 13 month old Welsummer decided to go broody, she's been siting on fertile eggs for about 15 days now. This evening when I went to close up the chickens my two wellies were both in the same...

    Hen with broken toe...?

    For the past week my hen has been sitting down in the middle of the coop floor (she is a weird chicken, so I just ignored it). She was eating and drinking fine, until about 3 days ago. This morning she just sat on the coop latter not moving, and just letting all the other chickens trample over...

    Rooster with weird toes! What do I do!?

    Hi there! I am new to raising chickens, and this is my first "batch." Over the summer I went and bought 9, 6 day old chicks at my county fair, they are 23 weeks now. This particular rooster has always been very timid and shy, and I always wondered why. But when he was around a month old I...
