    Hen with a limp

    Yesterday I noticed one of my Marans isn't keeping up with the rest of the girls. She is walking with a limp, and when she stands still she stands on one leg. She's still spunky and eating well. I didn't see anything wrong, but I couldn't catch her to look at the bottom of her feet. Any ideas...

    My rooster is going through puberty (video)

    My Wheaten Maran rooster, Randy, crowed for the first time a couple of days ago. It's not the typical crow yet, it sounds like he's playing a kazoo. Here is a fun, short video of his voice cracking.

    Rooster on the lamb

    So I was working in my garage, and I turn around to see this guy staring me in the face. I'm not sure where he came from, he's not mine and not the neighbors. I had to chase him away 3 times, he was trying to get in the pen with my birds. I finally let out my beagles and they scared him into...

    Sick chick HELP!

    So I've got 6 chicks, only a few days old. 5 are doing fine, but the sixth (a buff Orpington) isn't looking very hot. It keeps its head down, eyes closed, and is breathing heavily. She also rocks back and fourth. Any advice on what to do with her?

    New chicks- light and heat questions (plus pics)

    So I picked up 3 Wheaten Marans today. The guy told me they were 5 or 6 weeks old. Right now they're in a brooder in the spare bedroom where it's 70 degrees. I'm assuming this is warm enough, is that correct? Also, I've also got some seeds starting in there for my garden, and the fluorscent...

    Help me choose a breed

    Hello, First of all, I'm hoping to put together a self sustaining flock of birds for both eggs and meat.
