    Thanks! I was hoping that might be the case.

    A flock minus a rooster

    We ended up with a rooster in our last batch of chicks, and have been looking to rehome him, because although he's a great rooster, we've got neighbor issues with his very-loud-crowing. I've found a taker for him, but I'm wondering what will happen once he leaves? What sort of effect will this...

    Newbie with Sick Hen

    I've got a hen (BR) who's not doing so well and I'm uncertain of the cause. I found her sleeping in the nesting box three nights ago, which she has continued to do. My husband dusted them with DE recently to treat for lice (yesterday? The day before?), and said she was bony when he picked her...

    Hen-pecked pullet protection

    We have some wire fencing separating the pullets from the hens with a corner bent up so the pullets can get out, but the hens (in theory) can't get in. I'm not sure if the EE got out herself, or if the hens got in and chased her out, but we've bent the corner down so they're separated again...

    One dead Buff, one sick one--help?

    I just had a Buff die on Sunday. I didn't see any symptoms or strange behaviors. But now I've got a second Buff who appears to be sick. She's probably 16-20 weeks old, and very lethargic for the past two days. She's puffed up with her head kind of pulled in, so she looks more like a football...

    Do Chickens Just Drop Dead?

    We just had a similar thing happen. We've got 4 buffs, 2 wyandottes, and 2 BRs. One of the buffs just dropped dead. But now another buff is acting very sick, and I have no idea what's wrong. I'm worried that whatever it is will spread to the others. She's the youngest though, and the others are...
