Is green poop a sign of starvation? One of my roosters is pooping green poop and will barely move from his spot... It doesn't look like he's eating anything or even drinking. Help?
Weeeell, I was actually planning on killing off my roosters today, because we have seven with 28 hens... I feel kinda bad about that but no one will take 'em and I'm not really willing to take the time to gut and dress them in this winter weather. But when I went out there, one of my four Barred...
I am so frustrated right now. I've raised chickens in the past and never had this problem before. May 16th, 2013 An order of 40 chicks came in. Now it's 11/9/2013 and I have no idea why they aren't laying. For about 2-3 weeks about two months ago, I had about five hens who were laying, and then...

Well, I've owned chickens for several years now, but I've never had any problems with hawks until a little over a week ago. I'd left to go into town and when I came back, I was already missing one chick and saw another getting beaten up. Of course, I kicked into mama gear and chased the stupid...
Hey guys, I culled four of my meat chickens today, and I noticed something strange immediately. However, I couldn't find any information about it online, so I decided to ask around.
After all of the fun of plucking the chicken, I started to take out the guts. When I gutted the roosters, there...
Heeey guys, I've read bloggers on this website for years I originally started raising chickens when I was eleven, but had to cull them a couple years later due to some circumstances. A few months ago I started up again, and now I have a flock of about forty chickens. Love the guys. I decided to...
