My little Serama Bantam hen was in her run at 1 o'clock then when i got back at 6 she had gone, i suspected a predator but there were no feathers or any blood in the run. I searched for her in the nearby bushes and found some broken eggs on the floor but i couldn't see her. Is it possible she...

Have been looking to purchase some wood ducks but i can't seem to find out how good they are at laying and wondered how many I could expect from one duck a year?

I've come across theses birds once and wondered just how rare they are? There isn't much available on google about them but I'm still unsure. If anyone knows anything about them please help!

Ok that seems like a good idea. So much excitement I overlooked making a new run.

They are between 4-5 weeks old

I've recently had the pleasure of hatching chicks, it's time to go outside now and I don't know whether I should put them with my Seramas for a while before putting them in with the hybrid flock? Or should I put them straight into the main flock?

This has help greatly no more pooey patches on the bum, thank you :)

I seem to have hatched a chick with a completely flat bum. This is causing problems as when it poops it just clings on to the fluff around the vent. Whereas in a normal chick it would fall off due to the shape of the bird. HELP!?

Hey I have 5 chicks that hatched a day early, and realised that my leghorns were smaller than what I assumed to be a silkie chick. It has 5 toes and feathery legs. It's the darker coloured one in the picture.The leghorn is the one right next to it in the middle of the photo.

That's probably it then as I have no other reason to suspect it's a cockerel apart from a brief fight this morning.

It looks exactly like the cuckoo female on the omlet website, but it fought my cockerel briefly so I questioned its gender. But do hens fight like cocks when the pecking order is being re shuffled?

Was given to me among others as the owner no longer had time for chickens, it's cuckoo colouring with odd brown/red feathers it has a fan like tail which folds when walking. Has a small pinkish comb, no wattles or spurs but being unfamiliar with the breed I don't know if this is normal. It's 26...

I'm looking to breed rare and endangered chickens starting with the red saddled Yokohama, however since this is very rare not many people have any clue what special requirements they need. This is where I need help!

I've seen this breed at my local hatchery and wondered if anyone had any knowledge of this breed and could share some info on temperament and any special requirements they need? I would really like to get some as they are a handsome and quite amazing looking bird.

Yeah I thought as much after all they are all different in temperament, thanks anyway :)

The wynadotte, is from my neighbour and has been kept with cockerels his whole life, the silky is also the same however they were brothers, fathers etc will this make them more likely to get along?

My flock of 10, 3 silkies (1 cock) 6 hybrids 1 Barnevelder and 1 polish frizzle bantam. They all free range and there is 3 coops available, the silkies in one and the rest in another. So with the spare coop, enough for 8 birds I have been offered 3 Wynadottes one of them a cock. Can this work...

Only foxes at night, and they are becoming ever more sparse and could be chased away by a cockerel anyway. This makes it a lot easier to keep poultry.

Actually I'm not sure free range is the right word, but they have chicken wire or panels all around them with coops inside.

Oh sorry I should have explained they free range, with coops they get locked in at night. I live in England so the only real predator is a fox.
