    Is this Bumble Foot?

    My hen, layla, has been limping. She won't put weigh on her right foot. I looked at it and I think it's bumble foot. I'm ready to operate on her but I'd like a second opinion. I need someone else to tell me that is bumble foot before I cutting my chicken... There isn't a lot of swelling like...

    Limping Hen

    My isa brown hen, layla, started limping today. She doesn't want to put wieght on her right leg. I took some pictures. I thought I got a picture of the front of her foot but I guess not. Her foot seems a little inflamed maybe... I don't know what could be wrong with her. Do you guys have any...

    Drakes and Roosters?

    I'm thinking of adding some ducks to my flock but I already have a super sweet rooster. I was wondering will he get along with a drake? Do they have to be raised together? I know adding a new rooster can cause them to become aggressive. Also I've heard that you can have two drakes if you don't...

    Can Emotional Trama Stop Egglaying?

    I have an Isa Brown hen, Layla, who has stopped laying. She is only 3 years old. She hasn't layed since her best friend got killed by a predator (layla was not injured) when she was 1 year old. Before that she layed everyday perfectly. After her friend was killed she was our only hen for a...

    Wyandotte Sexing Help

    I have to know the sex of my two wyandottes. The guessing is driving me crazy! They are 2 months old (8.5 weeks). They haven't crowed or anything. They fight a lot, but that may just be their age... Sorry the photos aren't in any kind of order. The gold is Bijou and the silver is Cosette. And...

    What Breeds are Sex-linked?

    Hi. I'm very confused a lot which breeds are actually sex linked. I've looked online and I understand you have to cross certain breeds and all that. But I'm not breeding chickens. I just want to know if I go to the store and look at chicks, which breeds are sex linked. I know there are black...

    Is 8'x4' Too Small For a Walk-in Coop?

    We are building a new walk-in coop. My mom wants to make it 8x4 but I'm not sure if that's big enough. And I'd hate to regret it later. We have 4 chickens so I know it's enough space for them, but we want space for nest boxes, roosts, and everything else. Does that sound way too small?

    This is Bijou my gold laced wyandotte. She's six weeks old and I really hope she's a girl, but the bumps on her comb worry me. What do you guys think?

    Do girls Crow?

    This is Ginger. She is 6 weeks old. I'm not sure what breed she is exactly. Some kind of EE. I was told Americana. But she started to "crow" or maybe she's just crying. She sits on the roost, puts her head down and arches her back and makes this weird noise. Do you guys think she's a roo? I...

    Moving to a New Coop

    I've heard of chickens stressing out and having a heart attack when you move them to a new coop! Is this true? I am building a new coop. I always assumed they would be thrilled with a bigger coop. What is the best way to move them without stress? Any advice on how long I should keep them in...

    Roost Questions

    I'm building a new walk-in coop soon and I was wondering what the best kind of roost is. Round or flat? Which is more comfortable? I live in Michigan so it can get cold in the winter, but I haven't had a problem with toes freezing so far. Should they all be the same level? And how high off the...

    Aggressive Hen

    For the passed 3 years I've had only one chicken. She's an isa brown named Layla. She was raised with another hen and she was killed by a predator last summer. Since then Layla has not layer a single egg. She has always been so sweet to me. She let me hold her and pet her. About 6 months ago...
