So last year we added to our flock and after a few months my neighbor started hearing a rooster crow only in the early morning, not loud or during any other time. I thought he was crazy because none of the new ones looked or acted like a roster. Well today he recorded the sound, still not sure...

I have 14 hens 2 years old, several different kinds. They slowed way down and then stopped laying about 2 months ago. I know some where molting but now I don't know what is going on. I just wormed them about a week ago and no signs of mite or lice.There was a rat in the coop about a month ago...

The hens are 2 yr. And over the last few weeks the eggs have decreased down to none. My hubby is the one feeding them but i just went in last week and noticed dropping on the floor that are not from chickens. We got a trap and cought a rat. I dewormed them also. Some have tons of feathers...

I have been getting less eggs then last year and was wondering if my hens could be broddy? We take the eggs out daily but my hubby says there are the same hens on the eggs every day. But when I go out at night there are no hens in the boxes. Could they be broddy still even though we take the...

I'm trying to build a portable tractor just to get chickens out of run when we are home. I'm using chicken wire but DH says it need to be covered in hard-wire. We don't have much money so I'm trying to do it the cheapest way. The chickens will only be in it when we are home and can somewhat...

About 2 weeks ago I noticed her comb was pale and small and was not eating,then she stopped laying eggs. She has since started eating with the others but gets picked on from her sisters but is fine with the younger hens. I gave her some eggs in the beginning just to make sure she was eating. She...

About 3 weeks ago the first hen seemed to have sour/impacted crop and stopped laying. I treated her and she still is not eating or drinking the same or laying. Then the other day I noticed another hen sitting away from the flock and her comb is smaller then the others. I have watched her closely...

I'm going to Farm and Fleet today and wanted to get some de-wormer but I have no idea what to get. I don't have much time to research or I would. I would like more than one in case they don't have that kind. Thanks so much.

For about a week I have noticed one hen twisting her neck and has a very large full crop it has gone down a bit at night but not for a couple of days. It is very soft can't fell anything in there and no smell. It does make squishy noises when massaged. I just gave her some oil. What else should...

I'm just wondering when stores usually start and stop selling chicks. We get ours from a Rural King.

So I have been do the fermented chick feed and they love it but it is such a pain. I use the large deli 1lb containers and cheese cloth to drain. I tried to put hole but I think they are to small but if I make them bigger all the feed will go out the holes. So what does everyone do. Also once...

We just got some more chicks (we just can't stop) they are about 3 days. I have some 2 week olds can I mix them or should I keep separated. I do plan on keeping them separated for 2-3 days but would like to put them together

I just started to use the nipples and have taken the other water out. It has been 2 days and they seem to be able to use the nipple and peck at it. I just put the old water in and they drank from it for awhile like they have not had water for ever. I have 1 wk olds and 11 wk old chicks. I have...
