    Assisted Hatch Question - Help!

    Broody Adoptee Success!

    Morning! At the beginning of April, I had my Amberlink hen go broody. I've had so much going on, I lost track of the days and realized she has been broody for a full month! I got a couple chicks from the feed store yesterday. The silkie chicks were the youngest and the smallest, so, I...

    Help, please! Opened the coop this morning to an eye injury!

    So, I let the ladies out of their coop this morning and one of my bantams (who is my most dominant hen) looks like she was in a scrap overnight. It could be the case that this happened before they went into their coop in the evening. I just did a head count before closing up the coop and did...

    Rooster Rehome - Lodi, CA - Bantam PBR

    All: Last November I hatched my first round of eggs - bantam Plymouth Barred Rocks. I set eight eggs after they arrived (jostled by the post office in a smushed box) and five developed. Of those five, two quit and I ended up with two hens and one rooster. I named him Churro. But...

    California Chickens!

    Hi there! I'm new and, before I moved onto my current property, I was not a chicken keeper, nor did I have an interest in keeping chickens - or birds of any kind, for that matter. However, the folks we bought our property from kept about a half dozen free-range chickens. That family moved to...

    Green Eggs

    Hi there! Our neighbors let their chickens free range - mostly into our place. I've been caring for a Rhode Island Red that I'm particularly fond of and once the rest of the flock got wind of the good food and regular care, they seem to be "visiting" more regularly. I do not have experience...
