Hi everyone!
I was recently given two males which appear to be young. I don’t have any information on them. They seem to be friendly so far and will let you hold them if caught. I’m keeping them separated from my hens for now. The gray one just started crowing since I’ve had him.
I’m curious...
I found blood in the stool from one of my chickens. Not sure which one it is. Is this something to be concerned about? I have three hens. One is currently molting so she has not been laying. All of them are still eating, drinking and acting normal.
I have a barnevelder hen who is about 10 months old. The last 4 days I’ve gone into the coop, there has been quite a bit of her feathers on the ground. I’ve also noticed that I haven’t gotten an egg from her in probably close to a week. It looks as if she might be losing them in her breast area...
There is a peahen who decided to lay her four eggs on the roof of my shed some weeks ago. Recently she’s been flying down for about 15 mins a day to walk around, hang out with my chickens and eat some of their feed. I have no experience with peafowl at all so I have a few questions.

Over the last few months there’s been a couple peafowl wandering around my yard during the day (I’m assuming they belong to the neighbors). This afternoon I went out to go check on my chickens and I noticed one of the peahens was up on the roof of our shed. I was able to get up near her and when...
I have four girls, all around 5 months old. Recently, one of them (my barred rock) started aggressively biting me when I go into the coop and even when she’s out in the yard. I’ve tried holding her down or “pecking” back at her when she does it but it doesn’t seem to be helping yet. Two of them...
My husband and I were given this building which was used for pigs. We were going to build our own chicken coop rather than buying one. Instead, we decided to just turn this into a coop for our new babies. It’s about 14x8 with sliding doors on each side. I would love to hear everyone’s ideas on...
I have four chicks think I think are about 4 weeks old. I was just curious if you could tell whether they were male or females. Two are golden sex links, one barnevelder and one Plymouth Rock.
I am a new chicken owner. I have four chicks. Two golden sex links, one barred Plymouth Rock, and one barnevelder. Other than our new baby chicks, my husband and I have 10 dogs and we live on 56 acres.
