    Smaller, insulated chicken tractor plans?

    I was going through the chicken tractor forum but there is no way to search it for keywords that I can see. Does anyone have a plan for a smaller (3 bird) insulated tractor? I need something I can afford to build that will keep my girls safe, warm (or cool), and comfortable. It will be moved 1-2...

    Chicken was hurt, treated, but maggots (or something) are now coming out

Havent seen her eat yet. Set her up indoors last night. Now today she has worm-like things crawling...

    Hen runs backwards when roo tries to breed?

    I got some random chickens to quickly bring birds on the property to be sure my LGD grows up used to them. Worked like a charm and her little guardian heart is so happy! On to the strange behavior. The two hens are different breeds, but both are 4 months old. The rooster is 1 year old. When...

    Chicken First Aid Kit and Beyond

    Hello! I have requested chickens for my birthday in August, to get back into the swing of things. My husband tells me that things ALWAYS cost more than I say they will, because "things" always come up. And he's right. SO. I want to prepare for as many "things" as possible and include that in the...

    Figuring out the Dressed Weight of a Rooster before Processing

    I want to know if there is a formula or something to figure the approx dressed weight of a live rooster. A certain percentage perhaps? How much do all those feathers and guts really weigh?

    OEG bantam Question

    I have a 7 month old OEG pair that I was going to use for breeding, but the rooster suddenly started be extremely aggressive around 2 or 3 weeks ago. Its so bad that I have to feed/water them at night when he is sleeping. Thankfully his spurs are still short. I will absolutely not use him for...

    What breed is my boy?

    I bought this guy at a chicken swap here, and I was told that he was a Show Quality Serama rooster. I thankfully did not buy him for this reason! He is the sweetest and most gentle lap-rooster in the world! I looked up Serama breed standards and he doesn't really fit them at all! He looks...

    Ameraucana Rooster

    I've got a gorgeous Ameraucana Roo who is just too much man for my one lonely hen. He is a nice roo who is not aggressive, not even really to other roos! (my bantam roo gets in his face and sometimes manages to get his hackles up!) He is young, not quite a year old. He would be happy with a...

    We are officially getting two eggs a day now! Red (my New Hampshire Red hen) and one other hen have started laying. We will find out tomorrow whether or not that second hen is Littlefoot (Easter Egger) I suspect it is her, since the eggs have been pinkish. More on that in a minute! I have built...

    Do both genders chest bump/spar?

    My 7 RIR chicks are about 3-4 weeks old (I think) and they are a very lively bunch! They run at each other, stand up very tall, get chest-to-chest and stare for a second then back off again. They fly around the pen they are in too. What I want to know is, do only cockerels spar like that? Or...

    My First Flock of Chicks

    Day 1 Nov 11 2012 I have been wanting Rhode Island Reds for years, and back in the summer last year I thought I was having my wish granted. We lived in Slocomb Alabama at the time. I found a man who was selling them about an hour and a half away. I drove over and he loaded 3 adult chickens...
