I went to pick up eggs like I do every day. I have a small group of two OEGB hens and one OEGB roo. As I reached for the egg, the roo attacked my legs! Although these birds were not completely hand-raised, I have held them and they have always been friendly. The roo is now 22 weeks old- is...
I have two hens and one rooster, all OEGBs. I have had to roo separated because he is about 7 months younger than the hens, but am planning to let him out with them this weekend. My question is whether I can just let him out and then let the hens lay their eggs and see what happens if they...
I still have my 3-month old OEGB roo (named Rhoda- thought he was a she- LOL) separated from the two hens, which are 10 months old and great layers. I was told that even though there is a size difference, it would be okay to now let him into the main coop with the two girls (also OEGBs). Is...
She is 6 mos. old and recently started laying. She had a small bald spot when I got her but it has gotten larger, and I am afraid will continue. I use sevin dust and there don't seem to be any lice or mites or anything upon inspection. Does anyone know what is going on?! Thank you for any help!
I am looking to add to my small family of hens. Two. I want to more hens, but want them to all get along. Does it matter what breed/size, etc. I decide on?
Thank you in advance for any advice. Thanks!!
Two hens, the brownish-gold one just started laying and the white one hasn't started yet. Not sure of age and more importantly BREED.
I studied the "breeds" section of byc.com and Sarama is the closest I can find. What do you think?
Thank you!! Any advice is extremely helpful.
My 18-week old Gold Star Roo, Fendi, has these dry/weird spots on one foot. I think this is the best shot I can get. It seems dry, should I just try to put some vaseline on it? I don't know if it will get worse but it has been there for a few weeks and has not seemed to worsen yet. Thanks in...
The new coop is based on shelves which were already there- the main space is covered with corruged plastic but the extended space is going to be covered by chicken wire only. There is a door so that I can get in to clean it. Right now, there is some hay in there as that is what I was using...
Any tips on how to integrate a hen? I have one chicken, it's a rooster.
He is a sex link male and I thought he was a hen, so I am going to get a hen. I don't know what the rules or suggestions are for introducing them.
Please help if possible. The hen I will get is about 15 or so weeks old...
Any help is appreciated! She wandered into my yard at 6 weeks as a stray and I have been trying to learn everything I can about her since then. I am fairly convinced she's a she!
Within the last few days she got this mottled look to her- is she just growing new feathers or is something wrong with her? She was on the medicated food and I just switched her to growing up food. We live in Miami. Thank you for any advice. She's the sweetest girl.

She is 6 weeks old and is eating medicated right now. Will switch to growing feed in a week or two. I don't know what her diet was before she wandered into my yard. She is very friendly and just so extremely cute. When they say she is a Japanese breed does that mean a Bantam? Will...
