    Brooding hen squishing hatching chicks? Help!

    A while ago we decided to let our broody hen sit on eggs, but we're getting a little concerned. She started out with seven, but a couple days before the first one was set to hatch I found a partially crushed completely empty egg sitting in front of her with no baby around. I didn't think much of...

    Should I give toys to my Broody Hen?

    My broody hen is looking rather bored. I want to keep her sitting on the eggs, but I thought it would be good to give her something to do, and to keep her from squishing another egg when the baby's being hatched. Would getting her a toy help with distracting her a little bit and keep her busy or...

    Why Vomit for Sour Crop?

    My roo has sour crop. Lately we've been vomiting him and giving him vet recommended antibiotics, but it hasn't helped very much. It has come to our attention that vomiting is only a temporary fix and often he just ends up stressed and eating even more after we vomit him. What I really want to...

    Rapunzel

    Rapunzel came to us in the middle of last winter. She was a sweet, shy little thing, but we knew from the start she had quite the spirit. She came from a coup where overcrowding was a big issue and survived with all her feathers, except the ones on her tail. She also took quite a liking to us...

    Floppy Sick Rooster? What can we do?

    This morning when we did the chickens we found a floppy rooster who wasn't moving and looked flattened. When we got him up he was wobbly and he wasn't moving around. His comb is very pail and he is also very lethargic. He's about a year and three months so age isn't a factor and I have never...

    Chicken Integration

    We have a bit of an age range in our newest additions at the moment (all about two months old) and we want to put them in with our older chickens. One of the babies recently started crowing and we have another rooster in our flock already. If we put them all together will the small roo and the...

    Does anyone know what she is?

    The breeder I got her from said she's an Ameraucana, but Ezmeralda here does not exactly look like one. She's huge even though you can't see it in the picture and at eight weeks she's about half the size of my grown ups. Can somebody help me? The white and black chick in both pictures isn't...

    Chicken Molting or Being Pecked

    I have five chickens who currently reside in a heated, lit henhouse (they're really spoiled!) and one of them is losing a lot of feathers for apparently no reason. She's a Buff Orpington and my other who is the exact same age isn't going through the same molting cycle. My rooster although...
