    My 18 wk old Roo is nuts!

    Rocky - my handsome 18 week old roo (mixed breed) is chasing several of my hens. He is not getting "friendly", he is out for feathers and blood. I have had to chase him down to stop it several times. Any suggestions? I am thinking it is very likely just hormones, but I will not be giving him...

    New baby chick panting

    This little one was born about 2 hours ago. It is now panting. Do I take it out and give water? I have a mama with babies, I could tuck it under her. Or is that certain death. All help so appreciated.

    What breed of bantam?

    This girl joined my family as a day old on 3/26. Makes her a little over 5 weeks old. I am fairly certain she is a pullet but PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong. She was mixed in as a warmer with a bunch of turkeys. It was quite a sight.
