    My rooster broke his toe and then it turned black. Now it fell off. Do I need to give him antibiotics or anything to ward off infection?

    TOE ROTTING OFF HELP!!!

    My young rooster broke his toe. I tried to splint it awhile back but I made him limp more so I took it off. It started to turn black. I was told it would just fall off but it hasn’t and now it is very swollen around the black part. I’m wondering if he is pecking at it?? Please help!! What do I do?!

    Injured chicken toe!!! Help!!! It is black!!

    My lavender Orpington cockerel broke his toe!! I tried to splint it and he was limping even more so after a few days I took it off. Now it has turned black and is shriveling up. What do I do?? I’m pretty sure this means the circulation has stopped going to it. Should I cut it off? This has never...

    Pekin ducks mating

    My Pekin ducks are 16 weeks old and have just begun to mate with one another. Does this mean that the females are about ready to lay their first eggs? Or is it just that everyone is hitting puberty?

    Pekin Ducks vs Ancona Ducks

    I have always had chickens, but a few months ago I took over 6 Pekin ducks for a friend who got them for Easter (I did not think people were still irresponsible enough to do that) and didn't know what to do with them once they grew substantially in just 3 weeks. Turns out I have 3 hens and 3...

    Height of roost

    Do you think I should make a ladder for the girls to get to the roosting area? The top of the little brooding area is 2 ft high. I don’t plan on clipping wings. I know they won’t necessarily need a ladder as adults as my full grown birds can fly pretty high... but this group is currently only 6...

    Sexing orpingtons

    I hatched out 6 lavender orpingtons. I tried to vent sex them and thought I had 4 pullets and 2 cockerels. Now they are 3 weeks old and I’m thinking 3 might be cockerels. What are some signs I can start looking for? 3 of them have developed tail feathers much sooner.

    Dig holes for posts in run or no?

    I’ve seen so many different run designs. Some have posts buried underground and others do not. I will of course have wire buried either way to protect my flock. Is it necessary to have posts underground? What do you prefer?

    Paper towels in incubator

    I have a Nurture Right 360 incubator. On day 18 can I put paper towels under the eggs so that there is less of a feathery mess to clean up after hatching?

    Dividers in the incubator

    I have hatching 4 breeds at once in my small 22 egg Nurture Right 360 incubator. The breeds will look very similar at hatching and I want to keep them divided as I am hatching some for a friend. Is there a way I can put some sort of dividers in the incubator on lockdown day 18? I was thinking...

    Okay so I’m hatching 4 different breeds at once in my small 22 egg Nurture Right 360 incubator. I’m not an expert at being able to tell them apart as chicks so I was wondering if I could but some sort of divider between the different breeds before lockdown on day 18. Any ideas on what I could...

    wallpaper in coop?

    I got an 8x8 wooden shed built for my chickens. I put vinyl down on the floor to make it easier to clean. I've read that wallpaper will help to make cleaning easier as well. Is this true? The walls are pretty rough and it think it might be difficult to install. Is wallpaper the best option? I...

She is eating and pooping just fine but I’m getting worried. I have 5 other chickens who share the same coop. She is less than a year old and...
