    how long do chickens lay eggs for

    We just rescued two hens who are about 18 months old. The man who had them said he was told that when they stopped laying to get rid of them. We told him it was winter and they lay less or not at all due to light etc. He was very sorry that he had already 'offed' his rooster and two of his...

    injured eye

    Hi, I just read your posting. I was wondering how your hen went with the sore eye. I went out this afternoon and noticed one of our girls the same as you described. I washed her eye with warm salty water but couldn't open it either. Do you think it was another chook that did the damage? As...

    When do Roosters start to crow?

    We have been waiting. 3 roo brothers?? 7 1/2 mo old and showing no sign of crowing at all. Also suspect we have a little Mottled Cochin Bantam roo on the horizon who is 4mo but may have to wait a bit longer to see. If it is, he shows no sign of wanting to crow either. All quiet on the home...

    can you sex my silver spangled hamburg

    I was told the other day that female chicks and ducklings tend to grow their feathers faster than males. Does the last one have more developed/bigger feathers? curious to see if this statement is true or not.

    Took us three months to work ours. They have blue near the ears. Our girls blue was more noticeable. Silver speckled Hamburgs are beautiful, more slender chickens with what appear to me longer necks. We have gold pencilled hamburgs too.

    Comment by 'TheMoncktons' in article 'Dealing With Roosters Roo Behavior'

    That sounds cool about 'Fussie Gussie'. We have three roosters out of a batch of 4 eggs. 2 buff sussex and 1 light sussex. They are 7months old. One appears to be into the girls, none crow as of yet. We have found homes for the 2 buff and will keep the light one... for now. We have to keep an...

    Hen door

    They could have killed your Maran's cock because he might have made too much noise and would have alerted you or others to a rooster being in the yard??

    Can anyone tell me how to trim the leg feathers on our chickens?

    I've included a picture. We don't know what breed they are but they have feathery legs that are getting dirty from the wet grass and dirt. I've also added two to show their size in relation to the others. They are only small chooks.

    Mixing Ducks with Chickens

    We don't put any play water anywhere near the pens. Even a 2" dish for drinking becomes a paddle pool. The smell of their poo, mixed with bluegrass hay and water can be smelt up to 5 metres away. We fill a kiddie pool on the other side of the yard (50metres away) and they race each other to...

    Housing Question

    We have just acquired ducklings. We have housed them separately but let them in the yard together. The chickens will sometimes peck the ducklings if they get too close during their group feeding (when we throw out bread and other goodies). Today one of the ducklings got one back on the...

    Hello and a question

    Hi! I'd noticed something like what you described. We had 3 silver speckled hamburgs and 3 black and white silkie things, hatched under the same surrogate at the same time. The silkie things 'hang' together and the hamburgs did too until we sold two of them (the third was said to have had a...
