I rescued some chickens from a not very nice place. I have no idea what they were fed there. How long should I wait before eating their eggs? I'm letting them free-forage, with some extra protein to help them re-grow their feathers.

I made a chicken rescue on Friday, and now have a beautiful buff Orpington rooster with three buff Orp hens and a buff Rock(?) hen. They are pitiful looking. The Orp hens have almost no feathers on their backs and "shoulders." The Rock is a bit bedraggled, but looks much better. They all have...

I need new chickens, but don't want to raise chicks. I'd really like a standard rooster and four hens. I'm located in South Central Kentucky.

I lost a lop today. When I went out to check the rabbit hutches this morning, she had burrowed her head into one corner and she was barely alive. I brought her inside to check her over and see if she could be saved. She has no marks on her, no blood and nothing else seemed unusual. She was very...

I received five angoras -- no idea what kind -- that have horribly matted wool. I've tried to cut some of the mats out, but I'm terrified of cutting their skin. Suggestions?

I need to re-home a bantam Welsummer cockerel in south-central Kentucky within a few weeks. Anyone know someone who'd want him?

Ive got my runt, who appears to be a hen -- strong eyeliner and defined V on her head. I've got one who appears to be a roo -- faded V and messy eyeliner. Then Ive got one who is in between -- pretty strong V, but messy eyeliner. What say you, good folk?

My almost two week old Bantam Welsummers have a huge difference in their sizes. They are all very sweet and they have plenty of food and water. No pasty butt. Thoughts?

My husband wanted to replace the standard Welsummers I lost to a stray cat, so I ordered some to arrive next week. What kinds of things do I need to do differently with these very tiny critters? Will I be able to integrate them with my "Big Kids" and "Medium Kids?"

The neighbors moved and abandoned their dog and two cats. I re-homed the dog, but the cats have eaten almost half my six week old chicks. I can't catch them and I can't shoot them. Im not totally averse to killing them, i just dont have a gun. (Btw, all three of my mystery chicks are gone. The...

I have two of these guys. I have been calling them Welsummers, but they don't look like other five week old Welsummers I've seen pics of. Thoughts?

There was a consensus that this chick is a partridge rock cockerel a few weeks ago. Thoughts now?

I'm trying to figure out what this chick is. It's almost three weeks old. If this picture up,iAds, I'll upload more in my next post. [=https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151251747289203&l=799f355722][/]

I have four hens and a rooster. Normally, they put themselves "to bed" every night at dusk. Tonight, however, one of the hens was missing when I went to shut the coop door. I found her under a bush next to the house. This is where three of the four hens always lay their eggs. One of the others...
