I have a really gentle and nice leghorn rooster who was really friendly, but then all of a sudden he started attacking me. Scratching and biting me :( It's so weird he'll just randomly attack me. Apart from that he's really lovely and tame and will feed from your hand and everything. Is it...

My chickens (my older ones and mostly all of my bantams) have been staying inside their house all winter only coming out for a drink or occasionally a stretch. In all the other seasons they're all out and about. Some people thought of the coldness, but it's not that cold here. They shouldn't be...

I'm looking for some ideas of DIY inventions to entertain my chickens. It would be great to hear your ideas!!!! :D

I have recently been told (from a number of different people) about some severe pecking from one hen to another- to the point of of bleeding and extreme feather loss. These stories have all come from chickens who had been raised under a heat lamp. I wonder if this is a coincidence or whether...

I've got two roosters at home, one a Leghorn and one a Barnevelder but, I can only keep one. I would like to keep the one that is a good layer so it can have babies that will be good layers. :) Which chicken is better at laying?

I'm thinking of getting a incubator to raise my own batch of chicks up but I would have to get a heat lamp to do that, and I was wondering what kind of bulb I should use...

I've got a broody bantam who is about to hatch out some eggs and I've just found out she has has got lice everywhere! Especially on her neck and they're all crawling around her ears and face. I need to give her treatment soon otherwise she'll spread them to her babies. I gave her a dust bath in...

I was thinking of buying a dozen heritage breed eggs and put six under my broody bantam and wait until my other bantam goes broody (who seems to be going broody). But I'm not so sure how long I should keep the eggs on the bench or in the cupboard. What do you guys think?

A few weeks ago I noticed my Plymouth Bard Rock was bleeding, it was only a little bit so I thought it would heal, and it stopped after that. But then it opened up again and she has been bleeding lots. I think she has probably caught on something but I'm not sure if I should clean it and wrap it...

I was wondering if there is any other kind of material that would be suitable except for the wood shavings?

My Guinea-Fowls (I've got 6) are completely wild and definitely not tame and every morning and every night before dusk they will screech their heads off on top of the chicken house so I gave 4 of them away because they were making such a racket. Unfortunately one of them died and so I only have...

Ask your self this question. How spoiled are your chickens?

So many times has my chickens gone on and off with laying, one day 3 of them will be laying and the next day 2 of them will be laying. Why is this?

I'm confused with my litter because has always been damp, pretty much damp dirt. How do you make so that it's dry?

My Silkie hasn't been been perching like the other girls, she just has been perching on the lip of the nesting box. Ever since I can remember she's done that, although she fine when I put her on the perches at night. I just don't know how to teach to go on the perches. Do any of you guys know...

Who's crazy about Silkies!? My pic of my Silkie: Princess

One of my hens is infested with Lice and I'm just wondering if Neem Oil will get rid of the Lice? Thanks

My Silkie bantam has been breathing noisily making funny little rasping noises almost like she's got a blocked nose (except not runny). Know anything about it?

Ever since I've got some new chickens (1 rooster & 3 hens) my other chickens (bantams and 2 hens) have been staying cooped up in their house only coming out for food and water. It's really strange and they have been doing it for a long time. Thanks very much!
