Emergency help!! This is my cuckoo maran this morning.. The was a soft egg stuck on her bum, we wiped of off and this is there.. looks like it's still attached and pretty firm..what do I do? She can still poo and is only 5 months old.

So my youngest son named her sparkles, but now at 14 weeks I'm wondering if it should be Mr Sparkles [/IMG][/IMG]

I have 8 girls that are about 10 weeks old. Noticed the last couple days that my cuckoo maran will make a weird clucking noise. Almost sounds like a goose honking. Doesn't always do it, just every now and then. Are they like kids and as they get older the voice changes. Also noticed my SLW...

coop is done.. just need to install the roosts. I have RIR, Marans, Wyandottes, Welsummers.. if the roost is 16" off the ground will they be able to just hop up there or will I need a little ramp for them?

I have a brooder with 8 chick. I put 2 nipple waterers in there. It's funny how they all gather around one trying to drink from it, then one decides to use the other one and they all run over to that one.

So one of my Rhode Island reds is pretty much the runt.. The only odd thing about her is that she has her eyes closed what seems to me alot, compared to the others.. Seems to eat and drink fine. Seems to try and hide under the others, almost like she's trying to push them. They don't pick on her...

I see there are 2 basic ways to protect the run from digging predators.. bury hardware cloth a foot deep around the perimeter or use hardware cloth as a 2 foot apron around in on the ground... does one work better? just trying to figure out which way to go.. I'm thinking the apron would be...
