    Bumblefoot??

    Yesterday I went and picked up some half grown chickens from someone I had hatched them for earlier this spring. The plan was that I hatched, he raised, I got hens, he kept the roos. No problem. Until I picked them up. They are small for 9-12 weeks (2 batches) and most don't want to move a whole...

    Premature chicks?

    I'm hatching 33 mixed eggs for a class at my school. Every time we candled I thought it looked like they were behind. I'm using the little giant incubator- which I'm not happy with. For the second year in a row we've had problems keeping a specific temp. I know, I know, I get what I pay for...

    Incorporating new chickens/rooster question

    Hi All!! It's been a while since I've posted, but I've been reading! I haven't been able to find the answer to this question though. I have a flock of birds that until yesterday was 8 hens and a rooster. They were raised (mostly) together and are about 18 months old. The rooster was horribly...

    Stupid Rooster....and a question?

    I have a rooster that I hand raised. We had 2, got rid of one, and had had no problems (well, they were fighting over a hen, but besides that....) until the second rooster left. That was 3 weeks ago. Since then the 1 rooster has attacked my friend and I twice. I mean full out attacking, wings...

    Better than a hole in the head... or not...

I saw one pullet pulling something out of the neck feathers of the other...I assumed she had been pooped on or something. Finally she came running at me- I'm assuming being chased by...

    Dumb Questions.....

    Okay, I've read a bunch of posts, looked online, and can't find the answers I want, so I'm just breaking down and asking.... I'm a teacher- I tell people there are no dumb questions, but it doesn't help when I have to ask them! lol 1. Am I to assume that if my rooster is mating my hen who has...

    barred rocks, again

    I think i have read every barred rock thread on here, and keep second guessing myself. I'm afraid 2 of my three BR's are roosters, but they are actually developing first, have more feathers and are totally the opposite of friendly. They run like mad when i put my hand in.

    Red Pullet died

    Hello all! Yesterday I had one of my 3 red pullets die. I had noticed some differences in her from the beginning, but wasn't sure what to do. From the moment we brought her home she NEVER stopped peeping..... loudly. Everyone else was happy and content, and she would just stand and yell...

    Hello!!!

    Hello all! I just started my flock last week, and although I've been researching and reading for over 3 years this is the first time I've owned chickens of my own! Even though I have read everything I can these 6 were quite a surprise! I started with 3 Red Pullets (could be any red breed) (By...
