    My Hen has a PROLAPSE, HELP!!!

So far I've soaked her in warm water, cut the feathers off around her vent, and put prep H on it (didn't really know how to go about that but I did my best). Now I...

    I noticed recently that my chickens have gotten themselves rather filthy but I dont know exactly how to clean them. There are two of them, both are golden campines, one hen and one rooster. Im fairly certain that they have their adult feathers, but neither have reached sexual maturity yet (I...

    Do hens need a rooster around?

    I live in a subdivision where unfortunately chickens are prohibited, and we have tried twice now to raise chickens in the area. The first time we got 3 roosters and one hen, we got rid of two roosters and the last one and the hen we gave away to a new home so they wouldnt be separated. This time...
