    Catching Chickens.

    So as I have stated in past threads, I have a few free roaming chickens in my backyard that I can't seem to keep in a cage for too long. I try just running around or surprise catching, nothing works too well. Plus I tend to rough up their feathers in the end trying to catch them. So I decided to...

    (not sure what thread to label this as.) Chicken Bathing.

    I have recently bought a White Rooster, he's a handsome guy, nice white and yellow feathers with a few dots of black. What shampoo or whatever should I use to bathe him? I want him looking his best. I have used water with normal dish soap before, it worked okay, I just don't want it irritating...

    Baby Chick Adoption?

    Is there a way I can have my new hens adopt a few baby chicks? I had a hen awhile back that recently hatched half a dozen chicks. I was happy. Less than a day later, turns out she lost all but one. I let them roam free-range. I had recently bought a rooster with two hens and put them in a...

    What breed is this rooster?

    I have a rooster that I've been trying to find out what breed he is. After some looking, I found a picture that is almost an EXACT match to the one I have. I would show the picture of my rooster but I think the picture shown is much better, much better camera.

    Chicken Classes.

    I had just seen some birds for sale that show a chart for prices. Class A Trio-1,500$ Class AB Trio-890$ Class B Trio- 600$ How ever, class I am not familiar with. I did some research and some say it's weight, one said it's age, other say it's just standards. What does Class A B C mean when...

    How many hens to rooster ratio?

    I've heard that you're supposed to have a 1/8-12 rooster/hen ratio to avoid a hen from being too over breeded. But I'm thinking of probably just getting 4 for each rooster.

    What breed might this dude be?

    I had him for a while, and I'm trying to find out what breed he is, I couldn't find much. So I'm hoping this could shed some light.

    Chicken Dubbing.

    I've seen pictures of Roosters and even some hens that have been dubbed. I never knew that roosters have their fans and waddles cut off, when I saw a dubbed rooster, I would always think some are just born with out any waddles and such! I always found the dubbed birds more attractive than...

    Brood Cock And GameCock

    I heard of the too. I now know that a GameCock is a Cock that is used it combat sports. But the term Brood cock is new to me. I've heard different answers so I would like to get a definite one. What's the difference? I've had people tell me that there's no difference, just that a brood...

    Nothing but chirping?

    I have a few chicks that recently hatched, they won't stop chirping, I don't necessarily mind it. I'm just curious if it means that something's wrong. I fed them, have them water, and tried to get them to go to sleep. Nothing really worked for too long, any ideas on how why they might be...

    How to raise chicken eggs?

    I'm thinking of buying them a red light and such, but I have a few questions. 1. What temperature must the place where they are laying be at? 2. How often am I supposed to turn them over and how many times a day? 3. What would happen if I DON'T turn them every now and then? 4. Once they...

    Is selling gamefowl illegal?

    My Father says it is, or atleast we could probably attract the attention of some unwanted company...aka Law Enforcement. I doubt we will, but I'd just like an opinion. Edit: No, I'm not using them for fighting. They're just gamefowl at heart and that's why he said it's probably not a good...

    Sid Taylor A Gamefowl?

    I'm thinking of buying a Sid Taylor rooster. I always wanted a solid Black rooster, I saw one and I fell in love with it. Only problem is I haven't sold my other roosters just yet. I want him and his hens to roam freely, but I can't do that since I'm afraid that he'll start fighting...

    Do tail feathers grow back?

    I have a rooster, you can see him in my other thread labelled "What breed is this rooster?" I think it's called. The other roosters took out the feathers and I'm wondering if feathers can grow back fully.

    Best way to kill a chicken?

    I've noticed that we've been kind of running out of room for more chickens, so I'm looking for a good way to kill a chicken as pain less as possible. I've heard of snapping the neck or cutting at the neck. Any ideas or tips to give me? Thanks.

    Egg production?

    I'm thinking of buying some more chickens, two to be exact. A male and a female. I have a coop ready for them but I'm worried about whether or not they'll mate and lay eggs. I heard that if they're not comfortable, they won't lay eggs.
