    Eye lid swollen shut, mucos

    Hi, It's been raining buckets here for days. The 2 farm hens, RIRs, seemed not to know to get out of the rain. Everytime I saw them they were soaked. Yesterday one was finally in the coop. Her eyelid seemed to be swollen shut. When I checked on her later, it was open a tiny bit. Today it's...

    sBig Thank You!

    I just wanted to thank some people who helped me improve my flock at school. I was able to take out some roosters and replace them with hens. This had to be done before school started so as not to upset my (now) over 800 science students. The students range in grade from K-5, so I didn't really...

    Please save me from a culling spree!

    Is there any way to tell the sex of RIRs instead of just waiting for them to crow or lay? I have one that crowed, and its tail feathers point up. I have another with appx. the same size comb & wattles, but it has tail feathers that curl downwards. That is the one I thought was a rooster. I have...

    Is it safe to feed chickens rice? I almost gave them some cooked leftover rice, but remembered that rice expands.

    The Natural History of Chickens

    Has anyone seen the movie, The Natural History of Chickens done by PBS? I got it for my classroom, thinking it was about the natural history of chickens, but it was more about the relationship of people and their chickens. We did learn a lot about chickens, though. It was fun to watch.

    y did the chickens cross the road?

    Hi, These 2 chickens were found in the middle of a busy intersection. The rescuers looked for houses, farms, etc and couldn't find their family. So they took them home. They still had some chick feathers about 3 weeks ago. They were given to me yesterday. They look similiar to my 3 month Rhode...
