I have a pet barred rock capon (1.5 years old) and a light brahma rooster (8/9 months) who are best friends. I raised the light brahma from a chick right next to my capon and they have never had fighting problems. Just two days ago, the lightbrahma chased my capon into a corner and pecked his...
My production red hen died this morning in my hands :( Yesturday afternoon I noticed her in the nest box well after the time everyone in the flock lays, she looked week and all together not well so I brought her inside. I noticed she had a large tear in her vent, but other than that everything...
My sweet RIR rooster Fig will turn a year on Easter. This is a photo of him when he felt well, but he is very sick now and it is scaring me. He crows about once a week now, constantly has neon green diarrhoea, holds his tail low, doesn’t really want to eat, drinks a lot, and has become very...
I hatched this cockerel from my RIR rooster and a production red hen. He's 9 weeks old and already crowing.
The day after he hatched he acted as though he was blind and ran into literally everything. A few days after that he started to get gross puss all around his eyes, we too him to the vet...
This light brahma "Fancy" was bought at the feed store as a three day old chick. She has looked like a pullet for her entire life, and she's 3 months old. I feel like these pointed tail feathers appeared out of no where! Girl or boy?[/IMG]
Out of a RIR rooster and a mystery hen, I know he will probably be red, but his daddy didn't look like this when he was this age
Also this chick came from feed store, got him cus he was mostly blue and white, but has now started to develop some faded copper
I have seen online that racer pigeons have very strict diets, a meal in the morning and a meal at night. But if your pigeons are just pets can you be a little less strict and free feed them like chickens? Or will they eat non-stop and become obese and die? I currently don’t have pigeons but I...
My tiny Easter Egger hens cloaca came out of her vent this morning! We washed it off with water and carefully pushed it back in, but about 5 mins later it came back out. It's starting to bleed and I've pushed it in 4 times now. What has caused this? She is almost 2 years old. How do I fix this...
I have a pure bred barred plymouth rock rooster. He has bred with at least two of my girls and I was wondering if the babies would just be barred or something else.

Aster is the sweetest rooster, but we can no longer keep him where we live. He takes care of my hens very well. He's just over 5 months old.
Free to good home or will trade for a laying type hen/pullet.
In Houton,TX so we can meet half way from anywhere in Texas.
I have 2 three month old cockerels, and 1 four month old rooster. The four month old has started crowing and breeding, while the three month olds are only breeding. I bought crow collars for all of them and it's not really making a difference for the four month old.
I have tightened it to the...
I was wondering if anyone could guess what the babies from my cockerel could look like?
He is a barnyard mix, I'm guessing maybe RIR cross with a dominant white breed?
I want to know what the chicks would look like from him and my silver laced cochin, and my EE.
Five of my twelve hens are starting to loose feathers on their bellies, from their crops to their vents. They are some of my older birds at one to two years old. I have checked all twelve thoroughly for any kind of parasites, and only found I tiny bit of lice on two of them (which I have now...
