A few weeks ago, when my hens were still in the old coop, something extremely strange happened. When I let the chooks out, the were small blood splotches/drops on the roof (which opens as a door) a little while later the hens were fighting over a dead mouse, which I snatched from them in case it...
I recently read the Araucana page in the breeds section, and can't help noticing that the breed has tufts near its ears and is rumpless. The Araucana is totally different from the pictures I see and information Ive read about.(though some agree with the breed page). I am confused, and wold like...
Hi guys.
I recently built a new coop, which meant we could welcome about 3 more chickens to the coop. What are some breed suggestions? I have been looking at araucana, the blue egg layer. I would like to get a friendly chook that lays lots of eggs. I might also be considering a rooster to...

I have two hens in my flock, and they were raised together as chicks. When they were young, they got along fairly well together. They the smaller one had worms right after she moulted, and became extremely aggressive to the other hen, pecking her to the point of bleeding just because she tries...
Hi,

Hi everybody!
My hen has quite strange feathers, because they seem to end at halfway so it looks like her tail is a bunch of stalks! I wonder if she is moulting, because my other hen has already finished ages ago! Her feathers are showing no sign of growing back, so I wonder is this a disease...
Hi,
My hen recently had worms, (and went on a bit of a diet) and now her droppings are a bright white colour, and they are very runny.I searched up 'Runny Droppings', and found a thread with a link to this website:http://www.chat.allotment.org.uk/index.php?topic=17568.0. I found it quite...
