    5 Toed Chick (without any of the above)

    3 chicks hatched recently from the 9 our hen was sitting on. They are all healthy chicks so far, but one day as we were moving them to a safer location because the chicks kept jumping out without their mother, I noticed a chick had 5 toes. It really freaked me out because I have never seen a 5...

    What's the Deal with Quail?

    I'm thinking of getting 8 quail chicks to raise on our property. The last couple of weeks I've been doing casual research, and seeing what I can gather about these birds. But I also have a lot more questions that I had trouble finding the answer to, or saw conflicting answers to. Any of the...

    Is my hen done with her eggs?

    I have a hen who recently went broody. She has sat on 9 eggs for the last week. But today, in the middle of the afternoon, she hopped out and has been dust bathing and walking around as normal. She used to be a friendly hen, but now if I approach her she will run and fly at me. Is she done with...

    No More Eggs??

    My 4 hens have all been laying quite well up to around a couple days ago. They laid 4 eggs a day, but sometimes bringing the egg count up to 5 or 6. But around two days ago, all egg production stopped. It didn't even dry up, it just stopped. As in the day before we got 4 eggs, and the day after...

She has always seemed healthy and happy, but last week, she laid her first egg. Although not caused by it most likely...

    Can A Goose Hatch A Chick?

    On our farm, we recently got a goose that became broody. She has 6 fertile goose eggs under her, and we were wondering just out of curiosity could a goose hatch chicken eggs? I've heard of Chickens hatching ducks, and some other fowl hatching breeds that aren't their own; but what about geese...

    Rooster Getting Meaner?

    Backstory ( in case this has anything to do with his behaviors) yada yada yada: When we started chicken raising, we purchased 8 little chicks from a local owner. We raised them up indoors, then acclimated them outdoors. It was summer, so although they were young, they were doing well outdoors...

    Turkey trying to mate with humans?

    Recently, my only female turkey has been acting strange, screaming in the middle of the yard separated from the rest of the foul. She will even walk away from the flock which she never has done before unless unintentionally, and walk towards the sides of our house. She started making some new...

    What is my hen doing??

    Quite some time ago, we enlarged our flock slightly so our rooster had companions. The small flock soon matured and begin to lay, much to our joy. Recently, one of the hens has been making small nests for herself in odd places (They are all free-range around our property.). At first, we assumed...

    Rooster vs. Kitten

    We have 1 chicken which is free-range, and recently got a small kitten. The chicken is not quite mature yet-- has not crowed or laid eggs yet, so we are not quite sure of the gender. it does have a sizable comb. the chicken was at first very afraid of the kitten, so after 1-2 failed attempts at...
