Hi all! My rooster is now hitting that time were he's growing up. Which means he's become slightly aggressive. I love him and don't really wan to rid of him. It's come to the point where I go to them out and feed them that I can't even do that. This morning he was after me and chased me back...
One of my hens is hopping on one leg. I checked her out no signs of bumble foot or a broken leg. She doesn't seem to be in pain. Shes getting around and seems to be pretty happy. Any ideas what it could be... If anything.
My 1 we old Silkie chick doesn't look to good. When she tries to walk just falls over. Her eyes can open but she keeps them shut most of the time. She breathes normal. I just don't know what's wrong. She peeling and everything. :( help please.
She also keeps doing this weird thing with her...

The brown chicken called Ellie passed in October due to a opossum attack. She was a Silkie mix. We now have 3 BO's...
Gonna be honest I gave my hens apples. I didn't know that the seeds weren't good and I'm pretty sure they ate them. Will they be okay? I'm kinda scared.
Hello all! I have 12 chickens. They are a breeze. I have been thinking about possibly getting a few ducklings. What's required and are they easy to take care of? Will they get a long with the chickens? I'm sure I'll more questions along the way.
Thanks in advance.
Got four more chicks today to add to my 3 BO's and Polish mix. We have a Leghorn, Brahma, and two Ameraucanas (at least TSC says). I've been reading more about EE's and now I'm a bit confused. So I'm asking you all to see these are really Ameraucana's. Here are some pics!
If I need to...
One of my BO hens laid this egg today. We recently went out in our backyard to find and hear that someone dropped off their BO rooster. I am kind do mad at them for doing this. Because I have no idea where he's been. He doesn't let me get close enough to him to separate him. So I'm in a...
We got our chickens from a feed store who had great reviews. They do not carry any chicks such as silkies, polish, etc. For those of you in FL do you think you can tell me where to get some chicks? :)
We are going to get chicks in a few weeks from a local breeder. So when we get the chicks when should we introduce them to our current flock of 3 orpingtons and 1 mixed breed bantam? We went to get 1 or 2 more bantams and a few other types of standard sized chickens. When exactly should we start...
We have nasty bull ants in the coop. The girls are eating them now but, I want to get rid of them. I know they could attack and kill a chicken. Any ideas on how to kill them? We couldn't find a nest. So I have no idea what to do.
Last night I didn't close the coop in time and a possum attacked my baby girl. She happened to be best friends and partners in crime with our other chicken. They came from the same women and my three Orpingtons came from the same place. When will my other baby stop calling for her and realize...
I want to add some more chickens to my flock. But I would love to start off with them as chicks. How I would I go about introducing them? When should I introduce them? Help please.
Today I lost my dear Perrie. S/he was 6 weeks old. S/he was showing signs of being a rooster. Today we are figuring s/he was a rooster. He was always the loudest. Today he was pecked in the head twice to death by a crow. The other hens ran into the coop while he stayed back standing up for the...
I have no idea if this is a pullet or cockerel. We were told "it" was a pullet. I am not sure thought. Can you help me? Also it is some cross. Any idea what that might be?
Thanks,
