    Hen has a swollen eye.

    This is my 1 year old RIRxBCM. She has what seems to be an infection around her eye. So far I have treated it with dermacombine, not sure if that’s a good idea. She is very unfriendly, so to speak, and catching her when the sun is out, is very difficult. I would just like to make sure this...

    Old hen

    My old hen is having difficulty walking, she doesn’t really want to eat or drink. Yesterday she seemed completely fine. She’s 9.5 years old, is this the end?

    Fertilized eggs, no rooster

    My Blue copper Marans eggs seem to be fertilized. I haven’t had a rooster since October probably… she likes to wander around, sometimes I can’t even find her, and she comes back when the sun sets. The yolk in her eggs is also more orange than my other hens. And the shells are softer. Does she...

    Too many radishes

    So I planted like 8000 seeds of various radishes, in hope I could sell some radishes. But it’s too much. Apparently people don’t really like radishes. I sell them directly to people and to vegetables shops, and it’s still impossible to get rid of all of them. Except for the French breakfast...

    I might want chicks

    I think I might want chicks this spring, but my beloved cock was made into a soup after an unfortunate leg injury. I saw that one of the men in the village has a bachelor flock. would it be appropriate for me to ask for one of his very handsome cocks? Or should I just get fertilized eggs from...

    Getting coturnixes (old world quail)

    So my brother wants to get some coturnixes, and we were wondering : 1) is it possible to place them with the hens or with the pigeons. Or should we build a different coop just for them. 2) They seem to be able to fly, are they homing like pigeons or do they actually stay where they are? Or do...

    Yolk colour

    Is it normal for one hen to have different yolk colour? I cracked a bunch of eggs, and the yolk on the brown egg looks very orange. They all eat the same food… so I was just wondering.

    Is three hours enough time to cook adult rooster in a pot?

    I wanted to make chicken soup, and I cooked the rooster for about two hours before adding the vegetables, and only then had I decided to check if it was enough time to turn soft enough to eat the meat. The sources I found say I should cook it for at least 6 hours, should I just feed it to the...

    I killed my rooster and I feel bad

    So I had the best cock for the past two years, but yesterday he was limping, and today too, and I decided I would butcher him. I feel really bad! And I’m scared my mother will find out and think I’m a monster. I don’t think I can face her

    My hen is broody

    So one of my hens became broody and I think I’ll let her sit, but the others want to lay in “her” spot. Can I just move her with a bunch of eggs to the baby coop and she’ll do fine? When I took her eggs a couple of weeks ago (she was broody back then) she stopped sitting and went doing her usual...

    Pigeon questions

    So apparently they banned all “sports hunting” in my country and canceled hunting season (August-November), except for pests. Are pigeons considered pests? And am I allowed to eat the pests? If I feed said pests, are they still considered pests? Are they considered “wildlife” if I feed them? Is...

    One died from lice

    My younger birds caught the lice/fleas, I don’t know which one. I only now noticed because of war and lots of work in the farm. They are very light, like they lost all the weight. I put some flea soap on them, but they look sick. I gave them water with honey, and crushed vitamin pill on their...

    Should I buy extra bags of food

    Hello, So there’s a bit of a conflict going on, and the army has instructed citizens to pack on supplies. Would it be an ok idea to get an extra bag of feed for my flock? My concern is that the feed would go bad. They come in 25kg bags, and I have 12 chicken fowls and 3 pigeon pairs. The...

    Two questions

    First question: my sweet pullets like pecking my toes when I don’t wear any shoes, are there hey trying to eat me, or are they attacking me for some reason? Second question: I have a three and a half months old cockerel who seems to not really grow. What’s wrong with him? This is him: him and...

    Dead birds in horses’s water

    I’m asking for a friend! My friend has three horses, and at the past week she found over a dozen dead birds in the water tanks. She said it’s like the Hitchcock film. She finds new dead birds in the horse’s water every day. Do you think there’s a problem with the water? The birds go to drink it...

    Omelette experiment

    So, I read this idea in the boiled egg thread, and I’m going to see weather I can fry an omelette outside. Experiment will start tomorrow at 06:00 Greenwich time. I will place the eggs on a pan with a bit of olive oil, outside on the soil in my garden. Wish me luck.

    Do I have a new layer?

    I got an egg that’s a different colour from usual. Is it possible that a 4 months old pullet made it? She (and sister who is smaller) is a leghorn mix, but doesn’t really have much of a comb yet. Their face is red though. Suspicious egg is in the middle. White is the mothers’s egg and brown...
