    Rooster quit crowing

    My roo (probably about six months old) started crowing a couple of months ago. He crowed for a few days then just quit and hasn't done it since. Any ideas why he has stopped crowing?

    He's mean!

    Well, not necessarily mean, but my roo (3 months old) is incredibly aggressive toward me. When he was in the biddy pin, he would go out of his way to peck at me (and trust me, it didn't feel good). We let them out yesterday because they're as big now as our other chickens and he was ok as long...

    He's Crowing!

    My roo, Samson, started crowing just a few days ago. Poor thing sounds sick, but it's so cute to hear him try anyway.

    How old are cochins

    when they lay their first egg? Mine are about four and a half months old and I found a pretty small egg today. Just wondering if it came from one of them, or one of my older hens.

    Messed up feet?

    I have a chick that's three days old that still can't straighten it's feet. It walks on the sides of it's feet. It can't even open it's feet completely up, let alone straighten them or walk on them. Will the chicken outgrow this? Is it a somewhat common condition? He or she just hops around...

    Oyster shell

    Hey! I have a question. My chicks are too young for oyster shell (read that the high amounts of calcium can cause bone problems). What can I give them that gives the amount of grit they need without harming them?

    Is this normal?

    I have 8 three week old chickens that I just put out with my older chickens. (four are adult hens and the other six are between 3 and 4 month old buff cochin chickens). My older hens are fine and actually somewhat protective of the babies, but one of my cochins is bullying them. Is this...

    Crowing?

    I have a chick that's probably about a week and a half old and he/she's making the oddest noises. It's not all the time, but every once in a while. Could this possibly be a roo that's trying to crow?

    What would cause this?

    I've had two chicks hatch now that were born with what appeared to be their insides in a pouch on the outside of their bodies. It appears to be hanging from the rear end. Neither chick lived. What is this and why does it happen?

    How do I get autoreply?

    I'm trying to figure out how I can get notified by email when a reply is made to a topic I posted in. Is that possible here?

    Are we boys or girls?

    I know these aren't the best pics, but it's difficult to take pics through the wire. I'm trying to determine if our Cochin's are going to be hens or roo's. Any ideas?

    What are we?

    I have these two baby chicks and I can't figure out what breed they are. I'm not certain of the parent breeds so that's of no help. Any ideas?

    Baby chickens pecking each other?

    I have baby chickens (one hatched the day before yesterday) and the other last night. The older one keeps wanting to peck at the younger one. Is this normal? Is she hurting the younger one or just cleaning it? I don't want them hurting each other.
