    Pullet died with woody breast

    Yesterday afternoon one of my young pullets, a 9-month old white Appenzeller Spitzhauben bantam died. Earlier in the day, after bringing food to my flock of 23 hens, I noticed the pullet was the last one to leave the pen, she walked slowly and didn't show interest in eating. The last couple of...

    Just before I had to send my roosters to ACC which found them a rescue to take them, 9 of my 1 year old hens went broody, one after the other, and I made the mistake of letting them sit on eggs. They hatched 52 chicks, from April 19 to June 5. Now I need to find homes for all the cute little...

    Elector PSP with tap water?

    I recently discovered Lice on my 5 and 6 month pullets, and red mites on the 16 month old rooster, and because I have indoor and outdoor cats that hang out around my chickens I didn't want to use anything that can be toxic to cats, like permethrin, and I wanted to use the best drug or chemical...

    What's your favorite chicken? Mine is the one that I almost decided not to buy. When I went to purchase my 7 chicks, 6 were normal size 6 week old chicks and 1 was the 5 week old, tiny porcelain D'Uccle. It was so small next to the others that I thought she must be younger than 5 weeks old, and...

    Is my Buff Laced Polish a pullet or a cockerel?

    My newly purchased 6 week old Buff Laced Polish was sold to me as a pullet, with 6 other pullets, but though I know little about chickens, I suspect that Buffy is actually a cockerel. The reason I think Buffy is male is because of difference in behavior and personality is different than from the...
