    Pearl Leghorns, one month old

    I just got 8 Pearl Leghorns who came from Murray McMurray. These are a month old. I thought they would be "flighty" but they are the sweetest things. They prefer to eat the food I pour on my leg instead of their recently filled dishes and will let me hold them, pet them and fall asleep in my...

    Want to breed my Rhode Island Reds

    With winter settling in, I know I will have to wait. I ordered a variety of chickens last Feb and like the Rhode Island Reds the best. They are unusually friendly, and lay large beautifully brown eggs and they lay often! I swopped out 8 unfertilized eggs with a neighbors fertilized ones and...

    My Buff has a black head and back and is missing feathers

    She is only 9 months old and I fear the rooster, a large Brahma, has gotten to her too many times. I have separated her from him but does anyone know what the blackish coloring is? Blood? And how long tip her feathers grow back. It is winter and this is not a molt. Please help me. I am...

    baby chicks

    I have never had baby chicks before. I have 19 of a large variety. Just gave them some of my chicken soup. At first they were not interested but when a few brave chicks got a load of the chicken in the soup they all caught on quickly and went bananas! My question is: can you feed 3 week old...

    Plymouth Rock Baby Roosters

    I see a sleight red line on one of my chick's heads. They are about 9 days old. Is this a Rooster? Can you tell at this young age?

    Pullet laying soft shell with a bit of egg white in them

    Tiki, born on May 5th 2012, was laying the cutest eggs. We went away and returned and no more eggs. Her "mother" is still laying. Several times I have found a soft, empty shell, last time with what looked like a bit of egg white. The soft shell was split neatly down the long side of the egg...

    keeping a new bird warm all by herself

    I may be getting a chicken to eventually put with my other two. A friend has one of her last two killed while away for the holidays and is afraid this last one may be lonely. I have heard you need to quarantine a new chicken for up to two weeks. This means she would be in a coop all by...

    How strong should a light be in a new coup for one laying chicken and 3 who should be laying.

    I am Miss Bargersquack and I am fairly new. I just moved my 4 girls to a 600 lb coup as we are experiencing very high winds here in the NC mountains due to the storm. I want to keep them in their new digs for a few days, but need to know if a 250 infrared light bulb is too strong for them. It...

    I have an Americana who was laying before I got her. Hasn't laid one egg in 2 months.

    She also has a whitish runny goo all the time. Otherwise, she seems fine. She eats, comes when called and is one of the clan. Does anyone have any suggestions? Her sister, who joined me 3 weeks ago, completed her molt and is laying daily. No gooey poo on her backside. Thanks for any help...
