    Will my chicks be okay if I put them outside?

    I have 12 chicks born on 10/17. They are in my garage now with no heat lamp and the temp in the garage is about 20-30 degrees warmer than the temps outside. I need to get them outside in the coop, but the temps for the next week will be lower 30's for a high and lows in the teens. Will they...

    Will Silkies take care of chicks even when they aren't broody?

    One of my chickens hatched out 13 eggs yesterday. Last night I helped her get all of her babies around so she could sit on all of them, but when I went back out a while later, they were peeping really loud. When I looked in the coop they were on the floor and she was sitting up on her roost...

    Baby chicks in November

    One of my silkies has been broody for awhile and hatched out some eggs yesterday apparently. I went out this morning to feed them and give them scratch and found one dead behind the coop and one dead under it. I opened the roof to the house up and there is one baby that is still alive that she...

    What killed my Khaki Campbell last night?

    I woke up this morning to find my ducks door had been opened. I knew I would find one of them dead when I saw that because I know I have raccoons around here. I want to know if it looks like a raccoon probably did this. I was live trapping them and letting them go on state land, but now I...

    My chicken has poop on her butt

    I noticed that my Salmon Faverolle hen was just standing around. I saw her butt and it is like her feathers are wet and feathers stuck together with poop. My husband picked her up so I could get a better look. I was thinking pastey butt and it isn't plugged. It appears to be clear but...

    How to tell if you have bad eggs

    My mom recently told me that if you crack open an egg and the yolk breaks and runs, the egg is spoiled. Is this true? I always thought spoiled eggs stunk. I have had eggs like that and they smelled fine.

    How can I stop my ducks from ruining our ornamental pond

    My husband made an ornamental pond with a waterfall a few years ago. I got some ducks last year and they are always in the pond and my husband is not happy about it. They ripped out the water lilies and they are pushing rocks in the pond and putting dirt in it so that it clogs the filter. Is...

    Do roosters travel?

    I come home from work and normally let my chickens out to free range for a while. I noticed 2 roosters in the yard. I hear crowing down the road so I am assuming they came from there. Is this normal? Also, should I leave my chickens in their run until they leave. I hope they get home before...

    Need help with my rooster please

    I have a silver laced Wyndotte rooster that started acting sick a few days ago. Now, he is sitting on his roost looking all depressed. His comb and wattles aren't bright red anymore. They are more of a dark red or purplish and when he breathes in, he is opening his beak. I have noticed for...

    Rooster's tail feathers are falling out

    Why would my Silver laced Wyandotte rooster's tail feathers be falling out? I found some of them under the roost when I was cleaning. It has been gradual, but now there isn't really anything left. He has such pretty tail feathers, I hope they will grow back.

    Will my new chicks be accepted by the flock

    My OEG Bantam had 6 babies a couple of weeks ago. I have them seperated from the rest of the flock. The flock is a mixture of bantams and standards. Mom and her babies get outside, but it is in a run away from everyone else who is free ranging. Can I let them out with the others to free...

    New chick can't hold up head or stand

    I posted in a different thread about my OEG Bantam hatching babies. I noticed that one of them can't turn its head and it is cocked to the side. It also can't stand up. Is there something I should do for it? I know it won't make it, but I wasn't sure whether to let nature take its course and...

    Need advice please

    I have had 2 of my chickens just disappear in the past 2 days. One was my Old English Game bantam and the other was my Isa Brown. I let my chickens free range. I don't understand it because there is no sign of them, no feathers, no nothing. What could have taken them? I have my chickens...

    chicken essentials

    I don't know if anyone else has ever asked this question, but what are some supplies for all chicken owners that you wouldn't go without? For example, for mites or lice or if one of you chickens is under the weather, etc.
