I have a rooster that is acting normal - eating, drinking, free-ranging, walking fine, etc. But I believe he has frostbite on his back toe (not sure if that toe has a special name). It's lost its claw, and is now a black stub. But again, the rooster seems normal. I have a coop that's...

Please help, I was evacuated from my home during the floods in Colorado, and therefore my chickens are not at my house. That means I cant check on them daily. I'm having an issue with my 3yo Buff Orpington hen that I haven't seen since Tuesday. She didn't look "right" on Tuesday but nothing...

7 out of 11 eggs hatched roos!!!!! I'm attempting to rehome them. They are all out of my EE roo and my 2 americauna hens. I hatched them myself. Great looking birds. . .gonna be large. Friendly/gentle. They're 4 months old. I was helicopter evacuated from the flooding in CO, and they got...

Background: I have 1 fenced in acre, and all my chickens free range during the day, and stay in the coop at night. My favorite hen (the sick one) has always been pecked on by the others in the coop. Over the last few weeks, all my chickens have molted. This particular hen just seems to be...

I let my hen sit on the eggs too long. I ended up with babies. 11 of them! They're still too young to know which are hens and which are roos, but I can't keep any of the roos. I'm already riding a fine line in my neighborhood with the one roo I do have! So in a few weeks, when I know which...

This was my first time worming the chickens, and I'm starting to second guess myself! I used "Agri-mectin" paste. It's a 1.87% ivermectin paste, and after all my reading, I thought the Ivermectin was the best for the chickens. I picked up each chicken, and placed a really small dot of...

I went to my coop this morning, and had 4 eggs. 2 were marked (they were going to hatch any day now), and the other 2 were new. I collected the 2 new eggs. Went to the barn. Came back 4 hours later and the 2 eggs that were ready to hatch are GONE. No chicks, no shells in the nesting box . ...

New chick has been trying to hatch all day. The shell has been off for hours. Just stuck in the membrane and that was dried out. I took the chick inside and dampened down the membrane to loosen it up again. The chick started kicking free. Put it back with mom. Mom ate the rest of the...

I'm at 4 chicks -- anyone care to help sex them?! Chick #1 Chick #2 Chick #3 Chick #4

I have a hen that's been sitting on everyone else's eggs. Today 3 babies hatched. This is my first time with chicks from my own hens. I put them in a separate box with heat lamp & food & water just like I did when I got my first chicks. My rooster and my hens are HORRIBLE to each other...

I have 4 hens and 1 rooster. I had problems a few months ago with a hen being pecked completely open under her wing. She is bald on her back. I caught the other hens doing this to her, so I didn't think my rooster was causing it - until today. I watched them while they were out in the yard...
