    Young roo behavior problem, GRRR

    Ok, among the many chickens we have, we have 3 RIR roos. Two of which are fine but the third one keeps attacking my little duck, who is actually about the same size. The other day when the roo attacked Duckie (yea, her name is Duckie lol) he looked as though he was trying to mate her which I...

    Duckling out of the brooder/ add to flock?

    I have a Khaki Campbell duckling and was wondering at what age I should add her to the flock? We have chickens and 3 ducks. I would have to check back and see how old she is but she still has her baby feathers. She sure is growing though! Thanks!

    Hen with neck injury??

    I'll have to get pics but one of our hens has a problem with her neck. It looks like she keeps staring up into the sky. I've never seen this before and she just started this I think a couple days ago. Every once in a while she'll kind of straighten out but not all the way and not for long. Any...

    Got some chickies yesterday....

    Well, I got 4 chicks yesterday and they were being sold as Ameraucana's but their sign said they will lay blue, green, and pink... Isn't that EE? Doesn't really matter to me, I just wanted to add some pullets that would provide me with more colors than just the usual brown. I'll get some pics...

    Blue Swedish not laying

    We bought a few chickens a few months ago and a duck was included, the previous owner wanted her to stay with the chickens since they've all been together. Well, since we've had them our Isabella hasn't laid ANY eggs. They're still in a temporary pen with only some nest boxes about 2-3 feet off...

    UPDATE:Eye infection/deformity??? Please help? PIC

    We just bought this cute little cochin and somehow I missed this when we bought her but I'm glad I did get her b/c she may not have lived due to so many chickens around her. I'm sure this is infection but what do I do about it? I've never had to deal with this type of infection, not in the eye...

    Winter chicks once again....???

    I know this has been asked SO many times before but I'm needing to know when our chicks can move into the coop outside? They are about 9 weeks old now. They're getting way too big for what we have them in, lol. HELP???

    Best winter layers?

    I'm not sure if this should be under this topic or under BREEDS but I would like to know which breeds lay the most during winter? We have mostly BO's and RIR's but have a couple BR's and a couple EE. About 12 laying hens and most days we only get 1-2 eggs and some days no eggs. Actually...

    RIR egg with spots???

    I'm not sure what to say about this, lol. I thought this red hen we have is a RIR but then we got this egg from her and I know she laid it b/c she's the only one who goes in the next box I found this in. Is there something wrong with her to make it look this way or is she not a RIR or maybe...

    We did it!

    More like my hubby did it and I helped, lol. We processed 2 of our Cornish today. My DH did the killing part (don't think I'm ready for that just yet) and he plucked the first one but it looked so easy so I tried the second one. That's pretty much all I did, lol, but it was a first time...

    What have you used instead of a killing cone?

    My DH and I have been trying to think of something we already have to hang the chickens in for "that time" but have had no success, yet. What do you hang your chickens in?

    Silly question....

    What do you put your chicken in when sticking it in the refrigerator, before cooking it? We haven't gotten this far yet with our chickens so I have some learning to do before my DH goes to slaughtering.

    Anyone have pics of Black Star Roosters?

    Just to compare, I'd like to see other BS roosters. We have a young roo I'm told is a BS. The father was BR and the mother is RIR. Right now he looks like a little BR but I know how much they can change as they grow. I'll have to take pics to show what he looks like now. Thanks!

    I bought her yesterday and the lady told me she's an Amish hen. I couldn't get pics of her legs, sorry.

    How long do Golden Buffs lay eggs?

    Are these the type of chickens that only lay for one year then stop laying? I found a post on Craigslist for 3 GB laying hens and they're a week short of being a year old so I wanted to find this out before buying them. Thank you!

    Pregnant OR Worms???

    We just bought 3 Pygmies recently and the female looks bony around the hip area and her belly is quite "full" looking. She does have a buckling who's about a month old. I don't know how often goats reproduce but is it possible she's pregnant again or is it more likely she has worms? If pictures...
