    What Is This Noise?

    We have brought home two Spangled Ham. Roos. They are beautiful and about a year old. They crow like roosters should but they make a growling noise. What is the growl and what does it mean? It doesn't seem to happen when they are near anyone else. They seem to be by themselves when they do...

    We don't have a rooster in our one laying flock. Will adding a rooster calm them down a bit. They are White Leghorn hens and they aren't very lovey dovey anyway but there is one that attacks the others when they are trying to lay in the boxes. Would a rooster fix that? We have a Sebright...

    Can a prolapsed vent fix itself? Is this something that will kill my hen? What causes it? Is it as simple as pushing it back in? I have loved this site and really appreciate all the help. I'm heading out one more time to check everyone out. Can't do too much tonight. Thank you!
