I have a white Japanese Bantams that has completely zipped, the small "cap" is completely off but the chick is still in the shell, looks very "juicy" and looks to be gasping. 14 others have hatched just fine. I am concerned with the chicks knocking it around so much, sending it spinning that...

I have a few roosters. Two get on ok, they know their places, and the third is locked in his pen with his ladies. Today I let the one group out to free range, then I let the other group out shortly after. My head roo Rod Stewart, he does not like Florus. Chases him down if he gets to close with...

Pat is a pretty SQ splash bantam cochin. Pat is very tiny. Pat was not used to being able to walk around, in order to keep the feathers clean and matted. Pat now has gained quite a bit of strength, but is still being protected from my bigger birds. When wet, Pat is about the size of my seremas...

I have a question, and I tried searching it, and wow... so darn difficult to find an answer, even after searching through a lot of threads... Can a cockerel kill a hen by standing on her after mating? There are no injuries on my hen, she's just dead in the nest box, and my faverolle cockerel...

This spring I bought 4 wyandottes from Family, Farm and home. They get their chicks from Townline. I got two silvers and two golds. One gold was killed by a raccoon raid, the other 3 made it out alive and were raised by their silkie foster daddy. About 2-3 weeks ago, I had one of the SLW die...

I just realized that I can not access members pages from their profile page. Before the switch over, you could click a member, see their member pages along with the profile, only now you can not. I can access my member page from my subscription page, but in order for me to access a members page...

Darn chicken story... Yesterday I was out with the chickens a lot. Every time I turned around the alarm would sound, every fluffy butt scattered to cover. My garage floor, which I just cleaned is now covered in chicken treats. Well, the dogs think they are... I always have clean shoes...

Several days ago there was a predator attack in my yard. No deaths, but several injuries, including Mr main man Mr Fluffers. He fought of the attack, and saved the girls. No serious injuries thoughts. Both girls who were attacked are fine. Mr. F just seemed a bit injured on his wing. When I...

I decided to do a very small batch of meat birds. Just 10. I started them right away with a small coop and pen, heat lamps in the coop for when the days were chilly, they could decide where they wanted to be. They eventually ended up in the back of my yard, behind my layers, with a pen that was...

Ok... I have read about people finding clutches/nests in the oddest places. I have always been happy to find my eggs where they belong. Or at least I always thought they were where they belong. Today, I heard a hen singing out under my front windows in the hostas. This evening I asked my mom...
