We have one rooster with 15 hens. This rooster is a few years old and has always been a good boy. Over the past several months he has become increasingly aggressive towards certain hens. He attacks them while trying to mate. He often times creates wounds and can draw good amounts of blood...

[/I Anyone mix a brahma with a Jersey giant.

We had two leghorn hens wonder into our flock after someone dumped several chickens down the road from our home. We fed them and tried to capture as many as we could, but many were too wild to catch. After a month without any food from us, several of them wondered into our yard and joined our...

This extremely cold has brought on some serious stresses for our hens. One older one is developing a small cough and rattle when she breaths. No other symptoms such as watery eyes, weird odor, lethargy, etc… She is eating and drinking fine. Anyway, are the eggs safe to eat? I've searched...

Does it contain animal proteins? Any thoughts on this feed? I'm not able to find much about on here.

We rescued a few hens that someone dumped. They are very healthy and they flock with our other birds, but at nighttime they roost in trees above our coop. They will not go in with the others. They are very skittish and hard to capture. Any thoughts?

I can not find much on here about this feed. Anyone try it. The price sure looks good. http://www.ruralking.com/agriculture/livestock/chicken-supplies/chicken-feed/layer-pellet-feed-16-50-value-46249.html

We recently had someone dump chickens near our property. They are all healthy beautiful birds. We have adopted the ones that we could catch. One is a very bright white, small framed bird with yellow legs. I'm not sure if its a broiler type or a white leghorn. Are there ways to determine...

Gerber is out of Baltic, Ohio and they seem to have a lot of retailers throughout the state. Just curious if anyone tried their feed and if you liked it. Its costs around $12 for a bag. Here is their link. http://www.gerberandsons.com/products/poultry_pullet_complete_index.asp

I have been reading an awful lot on CRD (I probably have three pullets with it now). It seems that if you want to enjoy raising chickens, you are bound to experience this disease at some point in time. I just do not see how it is avoidable. It spreads via clothing, air, the ground, wild birds...

I have read some threads about CRD and we have it in some new 9month old red sex linked hens. We just got them and noticed after we got home that they have runny noses and make a gurgle sound when perched. Should I used duramyacin? My wife just told me that our little boy just accidentally...

I may switch to a new feed. Gerber is a feed mill that is local to me. What do you think about their analysis and ingredients? I'm not sure if I like that cracked corn in the main ingredient though. http://www.gerberandsons.com/products/tags/poultry/16_layer_tag.html

Golden Comet 11 months old Currently in a flock of 8 Symptons: Almost two weeks ago we started to notice her having diarrhea. The poop has been very watery with small white particles. She isolates her self from the rest of the flock. She drinks water regularly (just started adding ACV about...

I have a few older hens that were laying fairly well until we added some pullets to the flock. Now they have shut down completely. It started with a few rubber eggs and now nada. We have tried oyster shells. Our younger hen still lays though. Any thoughts? Can older hens, 2 to 3 years old...

I have an older hen. It seems she will lay in the nesting box, but does not lay an egg. Is this a characteristic of older hens who are at the end of their laying cycle? Will she lay eggs anymore? I'm not sure when the last time was that she produced an egg.

Anyone hear of it or use it? We are currently using it with good results, but I was curious if others like it too. They are a sister brand of Purina.

We just started our flock recently. 1 Plymouth Roo and 5 golden comet hens. So far all is going well. We enjoy them a lot. I have read a ton on here prior to us getting them, so thanks for all the help.
