    6 month old Buff Brahma Sexing

    Hi everyone, I bought a sexed Buff Brahma hen who I am now thinking may be a male? Fuzz (his/her name) is confusing me a lot. Fuzz is about six months old, hasn’t laid any eggs, and we haven’t heard any crowing. But Fuzz also has prominent saddle feathers and hackle feathers. Anyone with more...

    Pecking Injury - Temporary Loss of Bloodflow

    Hi everyone We went away for the holiday and when we returned we saw one of our hens had a decently deep wound next to her ear. Based on the shape of the cut we’re guessing someone pecked her pretty bad. Originally it was very swollen and the lower part of her earlobe was dark purple like it...

    Moisture in Coop - Considering Pellets

    This is a long post but I would love some advice as I’ve found myself in a cold wet mousey dilemma. Winter has set in and brought snow with it. Something (maybe my chickens tracking in snow mixed with the continual snow falling) is causing the coop to get very moist. We use straw bedding because...

    Hi everyone I have a young LGD who is about six months old. He’s been progressing pretty well with poultry training, but now that winter has set in all my chickens are staying in their coop and out of the snow so he rarely sees them. Does anyone have advice on how to continue training...

    Rooster Hurting Hens?

    Hi there, I have a young rooster who just started crowing about a week or two ago. He has always been very timid and well behaved, but overnight he completely changed. He has started trying to breed the hens, which I understand involves the rooster pulling at their feathers when mounting, but...

    Bumblefoot Wrapping Frequency

    Hi there, I have three hens who we treated for Bumblefoot a while back. Their scabs are almost fully healed and falling off, but just not quite there yet. My husband will be going out of town for 10 days and I don’t think I can change the bandages myself. Any advice? For context: They have...

    Unexplained Weight Loss

    Hi there. I have a Smokey Pearl hen who is about a year old. She seems to be losing a lot of weight. Someone in our flock isn’t laying eggs, but I can’t tell if it’s her. Other than that she seems totally healthy. She has a good appetite, is active, bright red comb and wattle, no signs of...

    Post Bumblefoot Irritation from VetWrap

    Hi there. We have several chickens who are recovering from Bumblefoot. They are almost fully healed - they have scabs that are almost ready to fall off. But yesterday we noticed that they have some irritation on their leg scales where the vet wrap is. I don’t think they are ready to be without...

    Playing with/exercising Livestock Gaurdian Dog

    Hi there. I have an 8 week old Great Pyrenees I just recently brought home to act as a LGD for our growing flock of chickens (currently about 20). I am following the recommendations I read and keeping him in a bonding pen next to the chickens and taking him out for supervised socialization...
