    Older Hen Abusing Younger Chickens and Not Allowing Them To Feed?

    I recently adopted a mistreated Polish hen and kept her under my watch for 16 days to ensure she was without disease, of course, I would allow the others to mingle with her from time to time or see her and they all seemed to be getting along, but recently when I moved them into my coop she began...

    American serama thread!

    I just got a baby Serama chick, 2 days old, but I'm not sure on how I should go about with her. I'm aware that they are very small chickens, so are their any special things that need to be done with raising them? Btw, if you could list the pros and cons of the breed that would be awesome. I'm...

    My city allows 1 Chicken which is ridiculous, so of course I have 8.

    I just got a Silkie/Golden Hamburg chick for free and would like to know how they look when they get older. If any of you have any advice that would be great and pictures would be awesome too.

    Mille Fleur D'Uccle or Silkie?

    Thanks everyone, can anyone add some input on Seramas and Red Shouldered Yokohamas? My local breeder is having a big sale so I'm trying to decide on what to grab, it's really hard picking out chicks.

    Mille Fleur D'Uccle or Silkie?

    Can you name the pros and cons of each breed? I've always loved D'Uccles and it's one of my members of the future dream flock, but I'm not sure if I want a Silkie more or not. Does anyone have any experience with either of these breeds? If so I'd be thankful if you'd add some input. I'm looking...

    Chick Growing VERY Fast?!

    Okay, so I have three, three week old chicks (one Golden Laced Wyandotte, one Cuckoo Maran, and one Barred Plymouth Rock). They all grew up at around the same size and went through changes together, even welcoming the four other chicks when I got them in the brooder. But, recently the Wyandotte...

    Sick Chick - lethargic, not eating, runny poop

    First of all, !!! Unfortunately, I'm not to good at this myself and you seem to be doing the basics (isolating, apple cider vinegar, mash), the only thing I can suggest is getting her some Poli-Vi-Sol NO IRON, you can buy it at Wal-Mart or something, just drip a little in her mouth and it...

    Poor chick.. I'm so sorry for your loss, I just lost two chicks recently too, I know how hard it can be. I hope the others live on and stay as healthy as possible, good luck in future hatches.

    Weather issues *URGENT*

    I'd add a little heat just to be safe, better safe then sorry, right? If the chicks/mother act a little uncomfortable then you can remove the lamp, but I'd stick with using it at first to try things out. If you keep them in the coop then are the other chickens calm, any noticeable aggression...

    HELP 4.5 month old maran sounds funny, hiccuping?

    Sorry I can't be of much help, but as you said and a poster before me said, it is probably a respiratory infection. After looking at previous threads with similar issues, I can confidently say that I believe she has gapeworm. It can cause a hiccup-like sound to occur sometimes and can be...

    Bald Spot?

    My new Brahma has a little bald spot under her wing, should I be worried? The other chickens aren't picking at it, just nothing is growing there. She is only around four days old, but rather safe then sorry. My other four day olds don't have this which is why I'm posting it online. Pretty much...
