    Poopy butt cut??

    I have some Buffy’s with very fluffy bums. If they have poopy butt, can I give them a cut? Would it hurt them to trim off some of the bum feathers? Are there parts of the feathers that have blood supply that would hurt?

    Not emergency, but new chicken owner questions.

    Hello! I’m new raising my Buffy’s but I have a few questions. 1. Is it normal that one of my girls has “displaced feathers”? Making sure it’s not a deficiency. 2. Hard to tell in photo, but all girls have a slightly dry comb. Just little white lines. Sign of anything? 3. I am shocked by the...

    It’s a boy!

    Ok. I think I’m done being in denile. One of our chickens is a rooster. Sooo sad. How long before he can fertilize an egg? They are about 3 months old. I am looking to rehome him. Is there any specific resource that I can use?
