    Should I hatch eggs and maybe get overrun with roosters...?

    I have 3 bantam hens, 1 bantam roo, and 1 standard hen. They live in a 20x20 moveable run by day and sleep in a 6x4 coop by night. I usualy let the one standard hen free range. I am considering letting one of the bantam hens incubate 3-6 eggs and get chicks. I am 100% not willing to cull any...

    Should Head-Flicking be a worry?

    My bantam has been flicking her head a lot lately and also her head is looking a bit pale. Her comb is purple because it's been dyed with gentian violet. Here's a video of the flicking. Should I be worried?

    Diatomaceous Earth + Petroleum Jelly?

    I'm treating some bantams for scaly leg mites, and have decided to go with the petroleum jelly method. They've been isolated getting the petroleum jelly for about a week and I'm getting kind of impatient. I've heard that diatomaceous earth (DE) can be helpful for external parasites, but I've...

    Bantam's toenail growing sideways

    One of my bantam hens has a toenail that is growing sideways out of her toe. The toe itself does not appear broken or anything and she's not limping. Is this normal? Do I have to trim this toe tail? It seems like it won't wear down because it never scratches the ground. Note: this hen has had...

    How do I get the little paragraph that's always there under my post?

    I've seen tons of users have a little paragraph about them that you can see under their post. It's in a gray font and separated from the normal post by a little gray bar. I'd like to make one, but I can't find where.

    Name of this feather color/pattern?

    I've had an ameraucana and a (japanese?) bantam with this color. It's very pretty and though I've looked everywhere, I can't find the name for it.

    New bantams have crusty white feet?

    I am about to get four new Japanese Bantams from my mother's flock (one rooster, three hens). They have crusty white "growth" on their feet. My mother says that this is mites, and has been treating it with Scalex Mite and Lice spray for birds. She says that one of her other roosters actually...

    Severely Underweight Hen

    Ariana is three years old. She's free range on 6 acres. I have water set up for the hens at multiple locations, and they have food in their coop. Ariana has retired from laying with age. I last wormed her a year ago. She's practically skeletal. I think it might be worms (I have not seen any...

    All hen's feathers falling out?

    Buckbeak, my 2yo Dark Brahma hen is losing all her feathers without seeming to grow any back. She currently has a secondary Bumblefoot infection, so she's in a crate in the garage. I've gave her 5 1/2cc shots of Tylan 50, went 4 days without, and gave her 2 more shots. The last shot was...

    Hen's Upper Foot and Leg Swollen - Probably Bumblefoot.

    Hello all, I have dealt with Bumblefoot before, but never on the top of the foot/leg. The hen's (her name is Buckbeak) leg is very swollen and hard and red and hot, which makes me think Bumblefoot, but evenly across her leg. I have no idea where to cut. Also, I'm worried that I'll cut into a...

    Hen With Really Weak Feathers and Soft Eggs

    Hello! I have included many photos at the bottom. I have a two and one quarter year old Red Sex Link (named Ariana) who has always laid enormous hard-shelled eggs. In the last two months, however, she has laid continually worse eggs. In mid-April, she started every two days or so laying eggs...
