    5 week old chick ate poisonous plant

    -EDIT- We've gotten her to stop gagging and choking and she's breathing much easier now. Whatever she's eaten has moved past her crop, her crop is mostly empty except for some water we got in her. I guess we're just going to watch her and make sure she keeps breathing. (Original post) We came...

    Just wondering about the roos...

    I personally am not new with chickens and hens, but this year we decided to keep one of the roos we ended up with... I was just wondering when they grow sexually mature and about how often do eggs get fertilized? We do want chicks, but not too many, so I was wondering if there is a way to...

    Hen Lays eggs with no shells!

    My family has been raising a small flock of free range hens for a couple years now. We have a specific hen, Golden, who has been our champion layer for about a year and a half. Up until recently, we thought she had stopped laying and retired happily in our coop, but yesterday we discovered quite...
