Good Morning, I'm new at raising chickens and posting. I bought 7 hens and they are now about 9 weeks old. I love them, what wonderful pets. My Buff Orpington has developed a growth where the beak meets the face. It is black and about the size of 1/2 of a pea. Any ideas?
Hi I'm Barb and I live in Chandler AZ I just bought 6 chicks. This is my first adventure with chickens. A neighbor just gave me a two month old rooster. Another friend told me not to put him in with the hens or I would not be able to eat the eggs. I've never heard of this. Is it true?
