Hello all -
I need the collective wisdom of BYC to decide what to do for my lavender orpington. He's a younger cockrel & the introduction to the flock didn't go so well. He was attacked by the older ladies & suffered a horrific injury to his backside.

During this long, excruciating wait, I'm making my brooder & getting all my supplies together, as well as working on my coop.
My stupid question is this: is there a major...
I am seriously considering getting some chicks and keeping a small flock in my urban backyard. I have several friends with chickens and am always envious of their fresh eggs! I am always looking for more ways to get the freshest foods and get closer to nature. The funniest thing is that it was...
