    Help, pullet isn’t feeling well.

When we brought her in she barely wanted to stand and didn't put up a fight. After giving her some...

    Roo or Pullet? Is it a Barred?

    I purchased this little one on April 1st from a local feed store. Looked like he/she was just a few days old. It’s my only barred, so I am not sure on gender. I assume it’s a Roo, (since I see comb and waddles) but wanted to gather other opinions on those who are more experienced with barred...

    How to introduce a goose to your chickens?

    I've been thinking about getting a goose. I've heard/read that they're a good addition to help with predators. I've also read that it's best to raise them together in order for them to get along well. Our feathery family will be a year old in March. Is it too late to introduce them to one? If...

    White pattern on Egg

    Breed & Gender

    We were told they were Leghorns. We got them around April so they're about 13-16 weeks old. We originally thought they were both pullets, but after the one showing different comb and wattles, we're no longer sure LOL Especially since he/she is smaller compared to our Welsummer Roo. Whose also...

    Reintroducing Rambo

    Hello! Some of you may have read my previous thread about my rooster not doing so well. Well I am happy to say that he is doing a whole lot better!!! He's got his energy back and more of an appetite and is drinking great. Unfortunately, though his eye now opens, he appears blind from that eye...

    Cure for my Roosters eye.

    Hello, every one. Last week, Thursday I noticed my rooster, Rambo, had his right eye shut. I thought perhaps he had gotten dirt in his eye (I'm new to feather babies as an adult). So I put some water over his eye and he opened it, closed it again, then reopened. As if he was blinking whatever...
