Our small flock has recently gotten smaller and I was wondering if one rooster and two hens will be okay together until I can get some new chicks in the Spring. I plan to buy the girls hen "aprons" this week. The rooster is 17 weeks old, as is one of the hens; the other hen is 14 weeks old...

If I kept one of the roosters would he be okay with two hens or would he wear them out? (I am planning to get at least six or eight chicks in the Spring.) My biggest concern with getting any chickens from my friend is the whole issue of quarantine. I don't have another place I can keep...

I have a friend who is willing to give me some of her chickens. She has 31! They are about a year old. How do you think that will work since mine are about 17 weeks? Would I have to quarantine them? Thanks so much for your help. This is all so new to me!

In the Spring I purchased five chicks for my daughter. Two ended up being roosters, and, unfortunately, one of the hens died the other day. I don't know what to do now. We live in Massachusetts and it can get very cold here in the winter. I was wondering if anyone knows whether or not the...

also, could it be posible she has worms?

Is she siting in a nesting box or is she just laying around some where? My favorie hen is doing that too, we put her in a box away from our other chickens just in case.

Thankyou too. I'll be trying that medicen!

Thank you! I gave her the scrambled egg and there is food in the crop, but how can I get her to drink? Again thank you so much!

I am an 11-year-old owner of five backyard chickens. This morning when I let them out of their coop to free range, one was very listless. She sat right outside the door with her eyes closed. I examined her and noticed her eyelids were droopy and puffy and her skin around them is pale. I put...
