    Where to put the food bowl for the dog.

    So, my sister went to college and left her dog with me, but he's got a problem with chasing chickens. I've been working with him and he seems to be doing better. Just one thing, THEY WILL NOT LEAVE HIS FOOD ALONE. You'd think after being chased every time they go after it they would stop, but...

    EE Genders?

    I've got a couple chicks that I'm trying to figure out the genders of. They were hatched under one of my hens, the parents are an EE rooster and either a game hen or a blue laced red wyandotte hen. I've got some guesses, but was hoping for a second opinion. (Sorry the pictures aren't better...

    What breed is this bantam rooster?

    So I just got three bantams yesterday, two hens and a rooster. I'm thinking that the girls look like a buff brahma and a black cochin, but I'm not sure about the boy. The first thing that came to mind when I saw him is Cream Legbar, but he has feathered legs and a rose comb. So what do you guys...

    Bantam chickens and quail?

    So a while ago, I got two little chicks. One was a bantam cochin and one was a polish. I've also had some problems with a skunk getting my chickens/ducks. I haven't seen my polish all day, and I'm thinking that the skunk probably got her. I have a coop, and some full sized chickens. Every time...

    Thinking about getting quail

    I'm thinking about getting quail and have a few questions. I've been researching a lot, but still have some unanswered questions. 1. I read that some some quail are loud and some aren't. Are valley/gambel quail loud? 2. What type of nesting boxes should I use. Would they be fine just laying...

    Giving a broody hen newborn chicks?

    I've got a hen that has been sitting on eggs for about 27 days. Today, I went to the feed store and got three day old bantam chicks and plan to put them under her tonight. I do have a question though. At night, she doesn't go to sleep like the other chickens do and will still nip and peck at me...

    What happened to him?

    So, this morning, I went outside to feed my chickens. I went out and found one of my roosters sitting in the corner. I tried to get him to move, but he just looked at me. He couldn't stand up, and he could barely control his neck. I put him in a crate with a light and some food. I left for 10...

    Chick can't walk

    So, let me start from the beginning. This past Wednesday/Thursday, I had a broody hen hatch five chicks. One of which hatched quite a bit later then the rest. When it first hatched, it wasn't having any problems walking or anything. The day after it had hatched, I woke up to find the back of...

    Accidental Red Sex-links

    So, I was just wondering, it is an RIR hen and a White Rock that make a Red Sex-link. I have a broody hen who's eggs are due to hatch in a few days. The mom is a Rhode Island and the dad is a white Rock. It just occurred to me that that is what makes a Red Sex-link. Just thought I'd check with BYC.

    I need advice!

    One of my hens just hatched out three chicks. Although, one of the chicks has a completely bare spot under it's leg. I'm a little worried about it. I just pulled out a little peace of wood shaving that was in between her leg that I think was kind of bugging her (she didn't want to walk barely at...
