ugghh... yes that is what I am thinking, I have 7 already in brooder, short of minor head injurys from the fan..... Thats another issue! All are great, there are now 2 more hatched in with this little guy & he is just "stiff backed" legs strait out & together, so no signs of "splaying" his eyes...

Please help if you can, We have never had a hatched chick have problems before, not sure what to do, This chick is just continuing to thrash on its back.... It can get its feet under it & just rolls & rolls, my temps & humidity have been fine, all other hatched eggs are fine although I seem to...

Thank you all for the responses. We have 6 free ranging hens that were with the rooster. They have a huge 12 x 12 enclosed coop that is wood on the bottom & chicken wire on top. They have their nesting boxes & lots of different roost options as well as fresh water & feed. They can go in and out...

So I have searched for 2 days... no sign of our Roo. However, we noticed that one of our Hen's is acting very suspicious. She has been crouched when ranging, making alot of noises, broke into our secure brooder area that was her old coop & then hid behind the coop after pecking at her 2 month...

I'm so sorry! What a devastating day! If it didnt eat them, maybe it was a snake? I guess more security is needed. Look into any openings you have. What type of wire are you using? do you have hardware cloth along the bottom & even buried a bit? Set some traps to find the predator!

Hi, I would suggest getting a hav-a-hart trap, see if you can catch it, If it is a fisher, I would relocate it to be safe, it seems fishers dont generally go after prey larger than they are yet if it gets comfortable enough around the chickens, it may realize they are not a threat. Also, if its...

We recently moved our layers to our barn. We enclosed the stall, thinking more of making it 4 legged & flying predator proof. There are a few gaps yet I was not concerned with snakes, mainly believing they are a good balance & would keep the rodent population down..... In the last week, we are...

Still no sign of him..... He was not quite a year old, pure Americauna..... We have a dozen of his chicks right now, hoping we have a few roosters, not that he is replaceable..... And no, no one else is missing......

We just went out to lock up all the chickens in the coop & noticed our rooster, Guardian, is missing! I'm so devastated! We have not lost a single chicken since we have had him. Our chickens free range during the day, staying close to the open areas of our yard. We have 2 large dogs, one is tied...

I'm so sorry! We have 2 dogs on our farm. Our oldest is curious but does not chase the free ranging large chickens. He does try to get to the new 2 month old ducks that are now out in the chicken run and I reprimand him anytime he is stalking the run. We have 9 baby chicks inside in the brooder...

Hi, First off, I love this forum and receive so many answers by just reading along. Currently I am trying to determine which of my chicks could be Roo's. Our Rooster is Americauna & he bred with 2 of our hens, a Barred Rock & a Bluff Orpington. We have 9 chicks. 7 are from the BR 2 are from the...
