A chick hatched probably this morning or yesterday night and I already know he has a birth defect because one of the chick's feet have messed up toes, they aren't EXTREMELY terrible as it is only two of the toes that are bent to the side. So I put the foot into a tape shoe like I saw on here...
LRIGHT so I found this small round reddish brownish mite that is just INFESTED on my chickens and coop and backyard and they are EVERYWHERE!!! I seriously do not know what type of mite they are but I know they didnt infest my chickens beaks or scales but they stayed hidden for so long cause they...
So I have this new hen who is currently laying her egg clutch in a nesting box in which I am hoping she goes broody on her clutch after laying all of the eggs completely. Right now she has 3 eggs but then a other hen who got kicked out of her nesting box decided to incubate the 3 eggs for about...
My two broody mothers hatched four chicks and the smallest of the four chicks, the runt you may say, is shaking by itself and unable to walk! Please I need help with discovering his ailment! The chick would stand alone and close his eyes then shake and when I gently poke him to get him to move a...
My chicks have two mothers and a nice and cozy nesting box to stay in that is on the ground. I don't think I would need to bring them inside at night as i live in FL and it usually is just about the 60-80s at night. Plus the two moms provide extra heat! Though I am not sure if i should still...
My two hens hatched about 4/5 eggs and the one egg that didn't hatch hasn't hatched for two days of the hens laying on it while feeding the chicks. I was wondering if I should wait a couple more days even though the egg is probably dead? I felt it when I went out to provide food for the chicks...
My two roosters start going at each other just randomly out of nowhere! If they are eating, they start fighting, if they are grazing they start fighting, If they are roosting they start fighting. My father who raised chickens for a while said to just let them fight it out and let the strongest...
My outside coop that houses my chickens during the night is starting to get pretty poopy under the roost and i was wondering if my new 3rd generation of chicks will start getting sick from all this poop? Before the poop from the chickens wasn't so bad as now so I was thinking i should clean it...
So i have two roosters that think I'm a female chicken. They dance around me and the more dominant rooster even chases away the other rooster if he gets close to me. I don't have the heart to chase my roosters around to leave me alone and i think this is the only way they will get close to me...
My chicks are 6 weeks old and had no problems at all, no problems with health, food, space, water, predators and injury. Until today when the three male chicks started pecking each other at their still growing combs and wattles then went all out and started pecking at every single part of each...
My Rooster, a half OEGB half unknown breed that i named King disappeared two days ago. I don't know how he disappeared since it was daytime and cats don't come out around our neighborhood to hunt our chickens during the day and their aren't a lot of hawks around here, mostly because some large...
So today i was in the coop sitting on a small wooden plank and watching the chicks play and frolic around and do chick things. I know their are defiantly two or three young roosters. One of the little manly chicks is a little skiddish but stays by my fingers when i feed him grass clippings, the...

I have one old English game bantam hen that has been broody for two weeks now. I was wondering when the eggs hatch if i should raise them until they are 4 months old and put them in the flock. Or let my momma hen raise them. I don't know which is better or to keep the mom hen outside with the...
The newest hen I got a couple of months ago who is a OEGB finally laid some eggs and is laying on them. I am guessing they are fertile since the rooster has been doing what roosters do with her so i do not want to get rid of the eggs. Well i was wondering since she just started getting broody...
Hello. I am in need of urgent help! See I live in a neighborhood where chickens are allowed but the slightest mishap or call from a neighbor about the disturbance of chickens then they are taken away and i will have to pay a fine! It seems a bit unfair but anyway. My chickens are OEGBs and they...
