    Prolapsed Vent questions

    Yesterday I noticed one of my 1yr old hens, Lucille's butt was looking very pasty. I got her cleaned up only to discover a prolapsed vent. I found this article on The Chicken Chick (http://www.the-chicken-chick.com/2012/04/prolapse-vent-causes-treatment-graphic.html) and it's been a huge help...

    One hen picking on the rest & drawing blood - how do I separate & reintroduce her?

    Well, my thread title pretty much sums it all up. I have 6 hens, all the same age and raised together from chicks since March. My barred rock is pecking at 4 of the other hens and drawing blood on their combs. The last hen may be getting picked on as well, but she's a small bantam without a...

    I think one of my RIR's is a roo :(

    I know pictures are the best way to tell, but I wasn't able to get one of her standing yet. If I can get one, I'll add it later. So here's my thinking on why she may be a HE. All 5 chicks are within days of being the same age, she used to have more feathers than the other RIR, but now she...

    I know the breeds, but how old are they? (Picture Heavy)

    Hello! I'm a new chick mommy! We got 5 chicks on March 31st (so almost 3 weeks ago), but weren't told how old they were when we bought them. Can someone please look at these pictures and wager a guess as to how old they are now? I have an idea of ages relative to eachother: I'm certain...
