    I know she's a bantam but....

    What breed is she exactly? This is our little bantam hen, Ruby. My neighbors had her in a cage by herself for a while after her friends were eaten by raccoons. She's about 15 years old, and he wasn't sure what breed she was. He gave her to us so he could travel, and I'm extremely curious...

    Okay so my Grandparents live out in the country on 300 somethin' acres. He saw a Cockatiel on the fence and decided to catch it. (Don't know why...) We bought a cage and it seems to have adjusted well to being a pet. Are there wild Cockatiels or is this one an escapee? It hates being touched, so...

    Gender-confused Rooster

My rooster, Me-ke goes into the nesting box every single day and sits on FAKE EGGS. He wno't let any hen near him and when he gets out, a hen comes and...

    Are you suppose to eat the first eggs?!?!?!

    My beautiful Barred rock ladies laid three wonderful eggs today. Their first. Am I able to eat them? I mean, I know if I crack them and they look terrible I shouldn't, but if they look alright is it safe?

    Two Questions Which Need to be Answered

    Ok. Question 1: Should scratch be a daily thing, or only occasionally? Right now in Texas it gets pretty cold, and my girls are about 14 weeks old. Question 2: When should I start feeding them oyster shells? Once I find the first egg, or at a certain age?

    Cats

    Ok, so out here where we live there are millions of feral cats. We have cat proofed our coop. This one little kitten shows up everyday, and lives right behind the chicken coop.
