my chicks are about 13 weeks now and one of my roos is getting frisky. does this have anything to do with eggs coming soon, or is he just an early bloomer?
my chickens are 9 weeks on tuesday. at what age is it appropriate to let them start wandering around the yard? what is the age in which they can be "free range" chickens during the days?
I got a load of chicks the other day, and this evening i noticed one brown scab on three of the same types of chicks all in the same place, on their butt, below their vent. their vents are clean. i got six different types of chicks, but the "scab" is happening on three of four. any ideas?
i need help with a bully chick. it seems to be picking on all the other chicks. it is lunging at their eyes in particular. The group is only 3 days old. Should i confine the chick and for how long, or cull it out?
Im new to this, so please bear with me....... In a mixed flock of brown egg layers, does the type of rooster make a huge difference? And for the "Easter Egg" layers, will I have to have a Araucana rooster to keep the offspring laying easter eggs also?, or will any rooster do.
