    Help! My chickens are fighting!

    I know this is bad but I have 3 hens and 5 roosters. 1 rooster, Henry, is a little over a year old. While the rest are all 26 weeks. They've all gotten along great until now. In the past month, all have them have turned against one of the roo's, Korma. They terrorize him. They chase him, peck...

    This is too cute!

    I recently took the nesting boxes out of the coop because we had 8 boxes for 7 chicks (and at least 3 of those are roosters). Besides that, these nesting boxes are old and rusted through. Being my usual lazy self, I took them out of the coop, but not out of their yard. Now every night when I go...

    Breed? Gender? I have no clue!

    This is a rooster (that much I can figure out on my own). But can you tell me what breed? And these are a few of my chicks. I don't know their breed(s) or gender(s) Ashe Earbud Korma Thumper Chippy Edited to add Chippy

    I finally put them all together.

    2 weeks ago I built a temporary wall in the coop to keep my 7 chicks and my 1 new Rooster separated. It went amazingly well. Henry (the rooster) slept right next to the chicken wire and all the chicks huddled against him on the other side. He spent most of his days sitting right outside their...

    Is my coop big enough?

    Our coop is 5 feet wide, 8 feet long and 6 feet tall. I'm building the run later today and I plan on it being 10x15. Is this enough room for 8 chickens?

    I thought roosters always came back...

    I was given a Rooster a few days ago. He's super nice and lets us pick him up or pet him without trouble. When we got him, I put him in the coop and left him there for 3 days. Today, while I was building a partition in the coop, he escaped. Although he wandered, he basically stayed on our land...

    A shared experience made these chicks best buds

    Two days after we got our chicks, we woke up to find one dead in the water bowl and two more soaking wet and laying on the floor barely breathing. I didn't know what to do so I tried drying them off and wrapped a washcloth around each of them to keep them warm. After an hour their breathing was...

    How old are they? And about the comb...

    On May 30 I bought some chicks and I was so excited about getting them that I forgot to ask their breed, gender and age. Is there any way to figure out how old they are? Here's a picture of them the day we got them. Anyone want to guesstimate? We suspect they are two different ages because 4...

    I'm new and without a clue. Help!

    Hi all! I'm Cat. I recently became a chick mommy and I really have no clue what I'm doing. I'm from a biggish city and just recently moved to rural North Carolina. Until recently, the closest I'd ever been to a chick was when I watched those cute Easter commercials on tv. On May 30, we...
