    Pullet Limping, hurt leg and drooping wing

    I have a pullet named Zoe of about 8 months old. She has not started laying yet. A few weeks ago we had a raccoon/cat attack that killed one chicken. Ever since, Zoe has been walking strangely, and having one wing droop. It has gotten worse lately, with her constantly tripping and not putting...

    Chicken has part of talon ripped off

    I was closing up the chicken coop for the night when I noticed blood dripping down the roost and on the floor- after some inspection I realized which hen it was and that the end one of her talons was ripped off and was bleeding. She is at the bottom of the pecking order so I wouldn’t be...

    Breed?

    Hello! Does anyone have a guess at what breed these two are? They’re about 14 weeks. I don’t know anything about their parentage except for one of their parents might be an Easter egger. Thanks!

    Alpha?

    I had one of my cockerels ‘crow’ today (I have 5 in a coop together, they are 7 weeks). Will he become the alpha rooster, or does the order of crowing make no difference? Thanks!

I know nothing about their parentage and have no means of finding out. Apparently they were hatched from...

    Outside?

    Hi! I have 5 chick(en)s that are almost 5 weeks old (hatched on Nov. 12th). They are currently inside my study with a heat lamp, but they are getting rowdy and loud so they need to move out soon. The temperatures here dip into just below freezing occasionally, but are mostly in the 30s and up...

    Free Range?

    My chickens are still chicks as of right now, but I am wondering wether I should (partially) free range them when they are older. I have three guinea fowl that are completely free ranged and nothing (besides my dogs) has tried to kill them that we know of. I also have three very fat ducks that I...
