    vent pulsating? not the normal kind.

    This is the best picture I could get. She wasn't very happy about the invasion of her personal space.

    vent pulsating? not the normal kind.

    My hen is about a year old and lays daily. Today I noticed she didn't want to come out of the coop to range so I went to check on her. Her vent is acting like she is trying to push b out. I don't feel any signs of a stick egg and no prolapse. I did notice she seemed short on feathers around her...

    please help!!

    Okay. I have a problem. I got a new roo, a silkie. He is about the same size as our hens (golden comets and black sex link). We have five hens and they are great with us humans, however they are being very mean to the new roo. They are cornering him and pecking him while he cowers and cries. I...

    OHio ~ Come on Buckeyes, let me know your out there!

    Went to the Lucasville swap and saw teenagers cockfighting. Had to explain this to my kids who also saw. Sad this behavior is socially acceptable in this area. I'm beginning to wonder if moving to this area is a mistake. I was disgusted.

    Lucasville, Ohio Spring show/swap dates???

    Went to the Lucasville swap and witnessed teenagers cockfighting. Will NEVER go again. It was my first time and I was astonished that behavior like that was so socially accepted that they felt that they could do that in public. Sadly my children saw as well.

    besides GMOs why corn free?

    I don't like GMO's at all. Even got the kids drinking GMO free almond milk instead of cow milk. As far as corn, I know for people corn is basically empty calories, so it should be considered an empty carb. (at least based on my nutrition class in college) So our family considers it a treat, even...

    I never thought about that. We bought our six (I origionally wanted to start with four until I get the hang of caring for them) and I have two hens lined up to get form a friends daughter. I am unsure how merging the 8 will go as the two hens are fully grown, but I really want a variety of ages...

    hello from Ohio

    We are here in Greenfield OH, which is southeastern Ohio. This winter has been unseasonably cold (as it has everywhere) but compared to a normal Wisconsin winter it was a breeze, so I am thinking future winters will be pleasant in comparison to what I am accustomed to.
