I have a great Rooster, but only one Welsummer hen. I need some more girls! I'll pay good prices for sexed pullets, but will consider straight run. I'd like up to 8 Welsummer girls. I want chicks from hens than lay consistently dark or very spotted eggs. I'm not looking for show chickens. I...

My girls got attacked by dogs last week. See the thread for background: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=614328 So, the surviving injured chicken is not doing well. She can't really walk. She can stand and will stagger a step or two, then falls over. Her feet will...

I have two wellsummers in our new flock and really like them. One was born with a twisted neck unfortunately. It turns at a right angle to the left. I gave her vitamin e and selenium twice a day as a chick for 3 weeks, but it didn't help. She's doing better now, at almost 5 months old. She...

I bought 10 ducklings from Metzer Farms in August, 7 Golden Hybrids and 3 Welsh Harlequins. They're fat and healthy and enjoying their 0.7 acre pasture/yard with a small pond & stream. They stay in nicely, but they don't use the dog houses we put out for them. They should start laying eggs in...
