Hello!
Requesting advice on a strange scenario. A friend of a friend was looking to sell their new litter of 4-month-old baby bunnies, and of course I couldn't resist. I bought two, both of which I was told were females. Well. Turns out one is most definitely a male, because at about 5 months...
This morning I noticed an abscess on my light brahma’s foot, and I was wondering if it’s bumblefoot?? She didn’t show signs of pain or limping and when I pressed lightly on it she didn’t seem to be bothered by it.
I also didn’t see the “plug” that abscesses due bumblefoot have, it’s just a firm...
Ever since I had to rehome my rooster my hens haven’t been getting along too great.
One of my RI reds Bella is at the top of the pecking order and often “mounts” one of the ISA browns, Pepper.
I know it’s a dominance thing and Bella is trying to assert her dominance but it is becoming a little...
We are building a new 15 by 15 ft run for our chickens, although I just noticed there is a bunch of poison (wild) parsnip where we are building it… I know it can cause nasty burns if the sap touches skin and gets exposed to sunlight, but will my chickens avoid it or do I have to remove it? For...
I have a 10 month old hen, I think she looks like an Amerucana but I’m not sure? She lays light blue eggs. Maybe she’s a mix, we got her from Tractor Supply and they said she was an Arucana, but she doesn’t have the fluff on her head... any ideas?? Also she’s small, smaller than all my other...
Hello,
We are moving in a few months to another state, about a two and a half hour drive from where I live now. We’re bringing our 7 hens and one rooster, but I’m not really sure how to go about moving them...
specifically how to get them from here to there. I’m sure there are a few good ways...
Hi,
My Amerucana, Hattie, seems to be getting bullied by the other hens as she has a patch on her back where feathers were plucked out. It's wierd because I've spent hours sitting outside with the chickens and I have never seen any of the other chickens peck her back. She is smaller so she does...
Hi!
So I have a Buff Orpington Rooster named Cheerio, and he mounts our hens ALL day long....
I'm just wondering, if I hatch some of the eggs my hens lay, will the chicks look like Cheerio or the hen??
Here are the possible chicks...
ISA Brown + Buff Orpington
Black Australorp + Buff Orpington...
I went out to the coop this afternoon to check on the chickens and my 6 month old Amerucana hen Hattie was sleeping standing up. I thought that was fine and normal but when I let the other hens and roo out, she stayed in and just stood there looking around. This was wierd and I knew something...
