My first batch of eggs in the incubator had two chicks hatch but one died soon after. I raised the chick on its own and spent all my time with it as it didn't have another chicken. It cuddled with stuffed animals and was super friendly. After a few months being the center of attention and...
It started about a month ago. We free range our chickens and put them at around 6 or 7 pm. In the harsh cold nights, they preferred to stay near the backyard door (its like a porch) together on top of boxes we had so we let them for a few days. Then we heard one of them shout so I ran outside...
Yesterday, I noticed my rooster's crow was bleeding. He mustve caught it on something and tugged hard because half of it is hanging off and bleeding. We bandaged the torn part and today we took it off. The part hanging off is turning black and isn't connected to his head anymore, just connected...
I have a rooster and just yesterday we found that one of his back toes was bloody and assumed he somehow broke it. We cleaned off a bit of the blood and the bleeding seemed to stop. We put neo on the toe but my mistake was not wrapping it up assuming since his back toe wouldn't get dirty and...

So our hatched three chicks,two of which were lost later on and our mother hen died.This chick is about 6 weeks old and is really lonely,our other chickens are huge and have no interest in it.We keep it in because our chicks always escaped when we let them out for a short period of time.We don't...
We never let our about 3-6?8? week old chickens out because one escaped somehow and we never found her.I felt so bad for them that while my mom was gardening I told her to let them out and put them back in later.She couldn't get them in and just left them out with the entrance to their cool open...
