    Do chickens get lonely or depressed ?

    I have 5 “normal sized chickens”, one being Big Bob...the “self-proclaimed” King. I adopted a Bantam Roo about 2 months ago. I love “Chuck” to death, but of corse Bob could easily eat him as an appetizer. I have no choice (or do I?) but to have him in a pen, by himself, while the others...

    Need to explain the “birds and the bees...definitely!

    I have to share this with you. I SWEAR this just happened last week. The daughter of an old friend of mine dropped by to say “Hello”...she’s a very sweet, good looking 20 year old, BUT not the brightest crayon in the crayon box, if you know what I mean. Anyway she saw my little flock, and I...

    Can spurs be clipped?

    My Roo, Bobby, just attacked my son’s girlfriend. I am the ONLY person he won’t mess with, and my son is , needless to say, pretty mad. He doesn’t have a clue how someone could actually like, (much less love), a chicken. I’m terrified he might retaliate, though I don’t think he would. He knows...

    Can/should you splint possible broken leg?

    My hen’s left leg is bending inward at the thigh area. She is finding it hard to apply any pressure on it, although she is walking. Should I keep her separated? Am I supposed to “splint” it? Can I give her anything for pain?

    Stephanie walking sideways, like a crab..??

    Went to let Bob, Irene &Stephanie out this morning. Everything seemed normal, we were having our usual morning conversations, and then, when I tossed a handful of scratch out all 3 ran toward it, except Steph was walking real low to the ground and sideways! (Like a crab would or a drunk person...

    What’s wrong with Bob’s “voice”?

    My rooster, Bob, crows every night, like clockwork, at 3am. It’s like a lullaby to me. Tonight, about an hour ago, (3am), I sat straight up in bed because it didn’t sound like my Bobby crowing. I listened through about 5 or 6 crows, then made my way outside to check on him and his girls, Irene...

    Hen pecked??

    Bob is my big beautiful rooster that doesn’t take any crap from anybody! The last two days, I’ve seen one of my hens “bowing up” to him...kinda “daring “ him. They are beak to beak and Bob’s neck feathers even stand out, as if he was ready to fight another “guy”...like cock fighting. I have...

    Can I move Stephanie??

    Just today, one of my hens, Stephanie, decided it was time to go broody! Problem is she’s not in the coop where she’ll be safe. She’s under a tarp in my carport that I have to protect my cats from the wind and rain. Can I pick her up and move her? Put her in a box? Bring the egg?im panicking...

    My boy ...I’m SO proud! (Will it last?)

    My, boy, Bob! He’s rude to most everybody but me. Today, I made an effort to make “others” interact with him! He is now the “Big Man”, since I lost my dear Cooper in February. He was forced to accept people in a crowd with me (rarely gets upset) and also without me. (99%of the time wants to...

    To see or not to see....that is my question

    I’ve heard and read that Chickens cannot see at night. Just HOW blind are they? (Or do we really know?) My babies know and react to my voice when I CARRY each one to bed each night....one by one...(spoiled? Ya think?) But , can they see me at all? For example, in the light of a normal porch...

    Do they sense our feelings?

    My rooster, Bob, loves me and rarely shows any aggression towards me ever!! However, he HATES my 21 yr. old son. My son refuses to go out back, where my 3 chickens free range. He is TERRIFIED of Bob!...and, yes, Bob will attack him! My son has a severe case of “alectrophobia” now. Does my...

    Relocating my 3 babies...will they freak out?

    At a very last minute notification, I have to move. I’m looking everywhere for a similar environment to what I have, but it’s hard to come by. Will they be ok living in a large cage until I can figure something out? I refuse to leave them behind! Either the place I find accepts”us” or it’s out...

    For the Love of Cooper... Devine, Tx.

    Person who has a ton of love for my sweet rooster, whom was brutally attacked by a raccoon, is wanted to help me. I am spoon feeding/watering him...Have been for 3 weeks. He is SLOWLY getting better, I think, but , since its only me, it's difficult. Never thought that I would fall in love with a...
