    Okay so after my roo passed we started looking for a new one to protect our girls bc our silkie roo doesn't do as well as a larger breed. We were given this big one and told he's only 2.5 months and he's a buff laced Brahma. He's beautiful and he's huge! If he's really that young he is going to...

    Rooster with sour crop?? Help please!?

    I think my roo has sour crop. He's not eating but he won't stop drinking. He seems to like spit up. I know that chickens can't vomit but he has liquid coming out of his mouth. His crop is big and squishy and feels like a water balloon. He's not crowing and is slow moving if he moves at all. I'm...

    **UPDATE**Help me please!? What's wrong with my roo!?

    My rooster was slow yesterday. Not acting normal at all. He wasn't running around chasing everybody and didn't mount one girl at all. He ate in the morning but when I was tossing some scraps last night he didn't come running. Then he went into the coop and roosted almost 2 hrs before normal...

    BROODY??! already???

    My Pekin just started laying last Saturday. She's given me 5 eggs so far. Today hubby went out to open up before work and found her sitting on her egg. We know it's her bc our hens lay brown and of course hers is white-ish and she is the only one who leaves us an egg some time over night and we...

    Pekin problem? I hope not!

    I have 2 pekins. I thought for sure both were females. I've been googling some of their recent behavior and now I'm worried I have a male. These guys are 5 months old (give or take a weeks or so.. I lost track of the weeks!) But I noticed a few weeks ago that one was forcing the other to drink...
