My roosters are crowing and mating and my girls are laying, but I don't know when the eggs are fertilized now or not. I'm scared to pick them up and candle them, in fear of hurting the chick inside, if there is one. My hens aren't the broody kind of chickens, except for our Golden Comets, and...
I have kept McMurray Hatchery a loved hatchery. Every time we order, the chicks are healthy, loving, fuzzy, and adorable! Once we decided to take a peek at the other online hatchery, "Cackle Hatchery". When they came in the mail, several were dead, sick, and quite a few had broken legs and one...

I walked out to feed the girls one day when I noticed a solitary patch of mud-covered burger...and it was smelly. It was diarreah. Any advice on how to get rid of the sickness?

We have a beautiful cockeral, with a full and bright comb, a healthy weight, no loss of feathers, shiny blue tail feathers, a black nape, and a black and white flecked back. He is an aracauna, and if you click on "Flock" in my signature, you'll see who it is.
We want him to mate with the hens so...
I got some bantams and the older chickens are picking at them...they've already established the pecking order! What's going on? Now the bantams are starting to pick at each other. The male bantam wards off the other chickens and protects his little girl, but then he attacks her. But, they're not...
I have three very large birds and we must get rid of them. They are $1 each. The breeds are 2 jumbo cornish (cock and a hen) and 1 unknown plymoth rock. If you adopt them, they become your pet, like a puppy or kitten. Please do not eat them! Try looking in my signature for "More Flock", then...
