My pullets one leg has been the same for 3 months now. I work for a small animal vet and have had her on Baytril, water therapy, Meloxicam for pain. She has been living in the house the whole time to keep warm and clean.
The skin/scales will not grow on the leg and if they start to come in...
I think that I have had it with the new metal feeders for my chickens!
I have done battle with 2 different feeders and have lost both times I think my chickens are PIGS, they keep breaking them! They are bent, lost metal rods, broken brackets etc.... I have tried hanging it, didnt work.... I...
OK I know this is the only place I could post this and share what is going on at my house the last 24 hours!
I had 5 eggs under my first time broody hen Jill and after 4 hatched she was off the nest and tending to them. I felt bad for the left over egg since it was cold. It was one that I...
I have a silly question that I just have to ask.....
If I have 2 different breed of roosters in with my hens and I have seen both of them breeding the same hen.
Are chickens like Cats and some of the eggs will be one cross and some of them the other cross?? because of the two different dads...
What mix is this hen. She is a tad smaller than the rest of the hens and lays a creamy smaller egg. She has a little bit of feathering on her legs and a dark beard. The person I got her from said she was a Banty Brahma mix...... Maybe an EE mix?
Hi,
I have a huge Light Sussex rooster (Greenfire farms breeding) and didn't plan on having mixed babies....
Well... my OEGB went broody and with the holiday's etc.. I just let her keep the eggs from the ladies in the barnyard figuring she wouldn't stick to it... but she has and they are due...
I was given this little hen recently and wanted to know what she was..... Mixed? Purebred? Who knows LOL?
Don't laugh, but it bugs me so I'm going to ask....why are her tail feathers not rounded and nice and smooth at the end?
Did she live a rough life before or does she just need a bath...
We have up temporary fencing and my Silly little Donkey "Black Jack" keeps pushing right thru it to eat the chicken scratch/food!!!
We don't mind since he keeps most of the preditors away.....
FYI: That is a "grazing muzzle" that he is wearing so that it limits his grass intake.....
I was just given this cute little lady, her name is Lola, she is approx. 5 years old and I would love to know what she is......
Her comb is a little dirty, so a spa day is around the corner
I'm so excited, a friend of mine made me a stained glass of my rooster Fred for my chicken coop!
Can you guess the breed from it???
Does anyone else have stained glass windows in their coop? I would love to see where you put it!
Hi,
Maybe this has already been talked about but, I can't find any posts....
I was give a couple hens over the weekend and they have dirty bottoms, is it possible to have a spa day for them?
And if so what do I wash them off with or is there any tips on how to do it without stressing them out...
Hi,
Can you please tell me what breed and gender this one is?
There has been no egg laying or crowing, he/she was found wandering the neighborhood where I work a couple months back and the kids named her Betty Lu.
Betty Lu gets along with my rooster Fred and both hens? She does sleep off...
Hi,
I'm looking forward to learning and sharing with all of you!
I live in beautiful Gig Harbor and recently started my flock.
I have a beautiful "special" rooster named Fred who is a light sussex, 2 barnevelder hens and an unknown (he or she) dominique?
