    Questions about a late hatch (Opened a dead egg to find it isn't)

    This egg is supposed to be around 26 days but it may be 24-25. I opened the top and put water on it to peer through the membrane presuming it was expired since it had been forever since it moved. Turns out the chick is alive and responding now but they have not made a single cheep inside their...

    Weird rooster is a coward with the ladies?

    I have a Cochin roo names Penny whom was sold as a female (hah he wasn’t) and since I already had another roo I was bracing to have to get rid of him if the two tried to kill each other. Turns out that’s not so much a problem, he runs from my half silkie roo, he runs from the hens, he runs from...

    I fought a coyote over my dead rooster and lost, now it's returning every day.

    I was trying to leave the last friday and spotted a coyote who had tunneled under our massive yard under a 6 foot chain link fence and killed my 15 week old silkie roo, my son, and I made a stupid choice and grabbed a rock and ran it down, slugged it in the side with the rock before it could get...

    Ahoy there! I'm new to chickens but have years of experience with Parrots!

    Most of my experience is dealing with exotics, I spend half of my time at home working from home and the other half of the time with dogs or parrots but I've found chickens are completely different! So most of the time while I'm working on graphics for work they're sitting with me at this desk...
