    5 day old chick with leg broken/splayed/dislocated

    What's wrong with this chicks leg? I've had him for 5 days and Monday is when I noticed his leg out of place... It wasn't always this bad. It doesn't seem to cause any pain and I had it in hobbles for a day but when I went to change the wrap it looked like it was worse. What can I do??

    Day Old Prtridge Rock Chicks

    I am looking to purchase baby chicks to expand my current flock, but at my local TSC they're all straight run chicks. Right now they have Partridge Rocks, which is what I really want! Any way to tell what is a Pullet, Cockerel?

    Dead Hens

    I had purchased two 20 wk old hens, an EE & a Maran, about a month ago. This issue started two weeks ago when the temperatures started to drop. I went to let the girls out (all 9) one morning and after not seeing my beloved Peepers (D'Uccle) I returned to the coop to investigate. I peeked inside...

    Looking to incubate

    Howdy! I'm looking to start incubating eggs this coming year and am obviously a novice... I would like an incubator that will hold around 10-20 eggs. I would prefer an automatic egg turner along with something to control humidity... OR is it better to do it yourself? Any brands that are better...

    Blue or Black?

    This is the same guy as my profile picture :) I thought he would be technically "blue" but my husband disagrees. I'm curious! Opinions? His backside is more gray blue and it goes down his legs too.

    Hoof abscess

    My husband and I just rescue a 3 year old Bay Roan stallion with quite a deep hoof abscess. The owner wouldn't provide much information :/ such as "we had the farrier out, but he didn't say much..." Well like that's going to help us! Our vet doesn't come out till Tuesdays and my husband is a...

    Introducing new chickens...

    This spring I purchased 8 chicks from TSC 5 Silkies, a Poreclain D'Uccle, a Polish, and an OEGB. I'm thinking of downsizing by selling my OEG and 3 of my "silkies" as I fear they're not "true" silkies. I would, however, like to get more from McMurray Hatchery. I was thinking 5 Silkies, 1...

    Coop Floor....

    My husband has started the coop for our new babies and I am just so thrilled! We are discussing floor options... He thought a small wire floor would be nice so that there is less clean up inside and it will fertilize the ground beneath it. My only worry is winter... Any opinions would be...
