    Losing feathers in the winter

    I don’t know what’s going on. Our four Buff Orpingtons have started to lose a bunch of feathers. Its winter here in Wisconsin. We feed them Kalmbach HenHouse Reserve. They are out of the elements. I’m at a complete loss as to why they’re losing feathers.

    Serama chicks

    We live in Wisconsin, close to Janesville. Anyone in the area sell Serama chicks? I’ve read that ordering Serama chicks online is not recommended, because of their tiny size. I really want some of these beautiful tiny little cuties!

    Roos

    What would happen if we wind up with three Roos, and one Hen? I suspect that out of our 4 chicks, three might be Roos. Would three Roos fight each other for the hen? Or would they abuse the hen? I really don’t want to rehome any of our babies.

    The Most asked question! My turn

    I am overwhelmed by choices of chicken feed. I have no doubt this question has been asked a gazillion times. We only want to feed them the best food. We feed our goats Hubbard goat feed. I know they make chicken feed too. We also, give our goats MannaPro goat minerals. They do very well on...

    Hi! My name is Beck.

    I grew up with all types of animals. Chickens were part of the menagerie. It’s been almost 30 years since I had chickens, so I had the brilliant idea that now was the perfect time to get a few. My husband and I do not have any kids, so our critters are our kids. We NEVER go into anything...
