I'm not too worried about why because I think it was just an overcrowding issue based on where I got it. But, is there anything I can do to help keep the wounds safe? should I put...

    Mystery Eggs

    Hi, I believe that I have two pullets that have started laying. I have only gotten one or two eggs a day so far- all with perfectly fine egg shells. I only think I have two hens but I got three eggs one day and I don't think that a hen can lay 2 eggs a day. The only possible explanation is that...

    The Henson Menagerie anyone?

    I am thinking about buying some chickens from The Henson Menagerie and was wondering if anyone has ever bought from them. Would you recommend them? Do you know if they have brahmas? I would probably get silkies from them.

    Are these roosters?

    About ten weeks ago I got 7 two week old chicks. To me, it seems like 4-5 of them are roosters. Two I know are but three I'm almost sure about. I need to know because I am giving away one very soon and need to be sure. Can anyone tell with these pics? He is about 12 weeks old (3 months)

    Free ranging

    I have chickens that are 7 weeks old. I've been letting them free range with me standing and watching the whole time. I'm worried that some sort of predator will come and eat/harm them. When is a good age to let them free range by them self's? (I would still be in the house)

    Squirrels raiding food

    I have a really big problem with these two squirrels that keep eating all of my chicken feed. They push themselves through the fence then eat all the food! We don't want to redo the whole coop. Should I use a trap or is there a second option? I'd prefer not to trap it and kill it.
