I’m going to try to keep this succinct while giving a lot of info. One week ago: -1 rooster and two hens found dead in coop at 2pm. (My husband forgot to let them out I’m sick long story). -1 hen alive and seemingly healthy. Notes- All three chickens appeared to have tried to bury their...

Hey. I have two flocks each with a rooster. About a week ago I was having morning sickness and told my husband to let the flocks out and he forgot until 2pm. It was 84 degrees. When we opened the coop the rooster (one in my pic) and two hens were dead. The remaining hen jumped out without pause...

Swollen feather bases sorta under wings on back, kinda where feet would be during mating.

Hi I'm really upset over a situation I just got myself into. I raised from the egg 6 very healthy, organic fed, nice chickens. 5 turned out to be roo's. ... so. I got three pullets to offset, and one chick because I had a moment of weakness. Well. I put them outside in a separate run in case...

I got my first batch of chickens and raised them from the egg. 5/6 turned out to be roo's. They are 4 or so months old. One roo has new home. Two more soon to go to farm. That leaves me with 2 cockerels and one small pullet... Not a great situation. What is your advice? I'm attempting to keep...

Hi! I have a barred rock that is the tiniest, and kinda darkest BUT is the only one with a comb and it's a big bright red comb! Hmmm. Could this be a roo and the big lighter ones pullets just based on comb? He also fights more often. Any help appreciated!
