I have a broody bantam (pic for reference) and she just doesnt seem to be keeping the eggs warm enough. I understand she is small so she only has 3 of the bigger hens eggs under her (most likely fertile). She also hasnt plucked her breast feathers off like most broody hens do. I'd like her to...
We let our chickens and ducks free range everyday and put them up at night. We havnt been able to for about a week now because we have 2 roosters in the remaining cages and we are dusting their coop for mites and havnt been able to move it to a different location. I went to feed them yesterday...
We have 2 available roos for sale $15 each or both for $20. They are sweet birds who need a big space and plenty of hens. We are selling them because we only have 3 hens and they get to aggressive to each other trying to fight for them. They should do a lot better in an environment with more...
I have three ducks who are about 3 months old. One I'm pretty positive is a pekin, but the other two I'm not so sure of. I been searching the web and think the brownish one is a khaki Campbell but I could be wrong. I have no idea what breed the black one is though. Can I get some help on...
We are trying to find a great home for these guys! We only have 3 hens and a rooster and have no need for these 2. We are not willing to eat them since they were raised from chicks. We're getting ducks someday this week so we'll need room for them as well. We live in Alabama and might be willing...
I have 2 barred rock roos in need for a good home. We were trying to sell them for $30 each and $50 together but nobody would buy. So now we just need a good home for them free. They are friendly and protective over their hens. They are good roos to keep to protect or breed. NOT FIGHT! We live...
I went out to feed and water my chickens and as I was pouring some scratch to my roosters (we have three and looking to get rid of two) I heard our main roo sneeze like 6 times in a row! Fit worries me so much that I separated him and am keeping a close eye on the others. I don't know what to...
Ok, so I've been waiting for one of my three hens to go brood so i could slip some eggs under them. Not one for quite some time. I was going buy an incubator to hatch some eggs, but they are more expensive than I thought. I'm not paying $50-$100 for an incubator. So I decided to try and make...
Okay, so I want to sell my 2 new roo's on here but I just don't know how. I go to some threads that have selling on there but I can't start a new thread. Pls give me directions to do so. Thanks in advance.
I have a barred rock hen and black sex link rooster and 4 chicks from the hatch. The chicks are about 4 months old now and 2 look just like their mama. The other 2 are black kinda like their dad. The black ones both have had black combs since they were born and the combs are still short apart...
My hen just stated using her nesting box. I went outside this morning to check on her after the rain and I saw a mess. The hay in the nesting box was all messed up, she moved the other eggs I put in to incourage her to lay around, and it was wet. She broke one of her eggs, that may be why it was...
Should I worry about my chickens/chicks tonight? Right now the wind is pretty strong and is going to be a thunderstorm later tonight. It could possibly turn into a tornado though. Should I worry or am I overreacting
I need help. My hen is laying eggs again and it's getting real cold. The eggs have been outside for awhile until I recently brought them inside. If she goes broody and I put the eggs under her will they still hatch even though they have been in very cold weather? Hoping we can get some more...
So I have a rooster,hen,and 5 baby chicks. When we first got chicks (our hen is one of them)we had two barred rock chicks. Rocky, our rooster, always picked on them.When one of them died, Rocky started taking care of Little-bit more (our hen)but we still had to separate them because he pulled...
