    Momma is getting picked on...what do I do???

    Since the chicks have hatched we have had them in the coop - in a box - where they can be seen by the other chickens. We are attempting to introduce the chicks to the flock and re-introduce momma back. We cut a hole in the box large enough for the chicks to get back into for safety. Our other...

    Update: May have to cull..Foot Problem - Poor/no circulation?

    Our 11 week old Wheaton Marans (runt) has a major foot problem. It appears as though there is little to no circulation in one foot - the tip of the middle toe appears to be turning black. It looks like she will lose toes at the very least if left untreated. I was wondering if anyone has every...

    Lt Brahma - Any chance this isn't a roo?? (pic heavy)

    This is my 10/11 week old Light Brahma...what do you think, cockerel or pullet? I am guessing a cockerel due to the tail feathers, coloring and HUGE legs & feet...but am hoping that I'm wrong. In the front on the right: In the back:

    My broody hatched silkie eggs!!

    I am so excited!! Like clockwork, my silkie eggs hatched on day 21 under my broody cochin bantam. And I mean right on day 21...we set the eggs under her at 5:30pm and 21 days later they hatched around the same time!! I was amazed. The upside...a broody hen is way less stressful than trying...

    Broody hen day 16 - Can I move her?

    Our broody is on day 16 - we moved her to a separate coop and now want to put her & the eggs back in the main coop with the other chickens (isolated, but so the others can see her and hopefully her chicks). Is it ok to move her at this point? Or, should we keep her in the separate coop until...

    We have a 6 month old cochin bantam that will not come out of the nesting box. It's been over a week and she's pretty small.
