    feather loss

    Will feathers always grow back? Some of our hens suffered feather loss on their lower back, I think from overzealous roosters. We separated the hens from the roosters a few weeks ago and all the hens but one have new feathers coming in. Will hers ever return?

    Snow...why do my chickens not seem to know what to do in the snow?

    I thought that chickens were supposed to dislike snow! My chickens don't seem to even notice the snow...even when its snowing. They just act like its the middle of summer, I had to keep going and (in my mind) rescuing them today because it was snowing and they were just hanging out getting...

    Best size of treats for chicks?

    For chicks that are between 2-3 months old, how big should the pieces of treats be that you give them? I'm thinking along the lines of mostly things from the garden...green beans, spinach, sweet peas, zuchinni, pears...etc

    First morning crow today!

    My cockerels in the flock have each been figuring out how to crow lately, then this morning...at 5:30 they decided to have a crow off, lol.

    Any advice for wording Ads to try to find new homes for roosters?

    I have too many cockerels in my flock and they are starting to fight and I would like a happy flock so am hoping to re-home some of the cockerels. I don't want any money for them, but am thinking it might be better to not mention that they would be free in the ad since I am hoping someone will...

    Has anyone seen a buff orpington cross like this?

    I got Pumpkin Pie as a mystery chick. The farmer who I bought him (?) from thought the chick might be a buff orpington but wasn't sure. Just curious what you all think. Thanks!

    Favorite Barred or Cuckoo Breeds

    I've heard nice things about Cuckoo Marans, Dominiques, and Barred Plymouth Rocks and am curious how people who want a barred or cuckoo pattern choose between them? Any ideas on great qualities...or some not so great ones...that each breed has?

    Hi from Wisconsin

    At the moment I have thirteen 9-10 week old chicks, but I have too many that I think are cockerels, so that number will probably be changing soon! I am not too disappointed with all the cockerels though as I got straight run chicks from a nearby farm and picked them out myself, lol. We have a...
