Every Day on my way into town I see a white cochin rooster on the side of the busy highway, I've seen him for months. I'm pretty sure he belongs to a trailer as I've seen him in their fenced in yard, either that or he jumps the fence to scratch around. I've seen no other chickens in the yard, I...

Tomorrow I'm trying my first hatch, I live in Northwest FL I was going to wait till spring but with keeping chicks in a barn I was worried about excessive heat. I'm only doing a few as the incubator advised.

My 7 week old RIR have the run of a large yard now, I started to notice that one of the chickens stands with two legs, but one of the legs seems turned a funny way at the joint, however when he runs a long distance he does so on one leg, which I didn't know was possible. He's healthy in every...

These are who I suspect are Roo's out of my chicks, also when I posted once befpre someone said they didn't think these we're Rhode Island Reds which is what the seller claimed they were. Any opinions welcome.

I'm trying to decided which Roo to keep. All my hens are RIR, I have 1 RIR Roo and 1 black sex link Roo. What would potential chicks look like I I kept the BSL?

Not the best photo, found him curled up on top of the coop in the shade, he was maybe 2 feet long, not mature? I think he could have got inside if he wanted to. Someone said he might be a "rat snake", I live in the Florida panhandle, if I see any again should I kill them ( I would really hate...

I bought my 10 chicks from a local I know they all have the same father and I assume at least some have the same mother, I was planning on keeping 1 roo, now I've started to wonder should I get rid of them all and get a roo from another gene pool??? Does it matter with chickens? Would the new...

I'm wondering if there is any kind of dog Breed that is known for getting on well with chickens?

We have moved somewhere that the previous owners had chickens (at least 10 years ago) the outside run has two wood walls and a roof (this is at the end of barn) and it's covered with chicken wire. The inside is about 10x20 with chicken wire over the windows...should I recover this or can I...

] I have 10 birds, 1 black one I think is some mix?? I am hoping I have 8 hens and 2 roo's and not the other way around.

I live in Fl, this week it's in the mid 90's during the day and 70's at night, but I know soon it will be 100 most every day. I have been storing my chick feed inside but I was planning on buying a 50# bag and storing it outside in a plastic trash can? Any tips to keep it from spoiling???

Not knowing a whole lot about chickens I planned to free range them in my yard which is about 1/4 acre of fenced in chain link...bad news is that the barn where the coop is in not inside the fence, from the nearest gate to the coop is at least 100 feet. Being outside the fenced in area to free...
