I did remove the baby and put her and another broody hen in their own space. This other hen is much more maternal, lol! She and the mama are doing good and there is another egg about to hatch today. I felt bad at first for the other hen, because she was searching for her. However, she seemed...

I hope this post is in the right place. I have chicks that hatched today from 2 of my broody hens. One did not make it, the other seemed to be doing fine when I was out there, and there is a third hatching now. When I removed the dead chick, my Australorp hen went crazy! She could hear the...

I was reading that that could happen! Very relieved! Thank you!

I have a 2-week-old chick that has a large lump (about the size of a nickel) on the right side of her neck. She isn't acting sick or anything, but I am concerned if this is something that will effect the other chick's in the brooder. Any suggestions as to what it could be?

Thank you for your response! I really do want to give him a chance and not cull him just because everyone says we should. I have heard so many different opinions when it comes to roosters and was intrigued when I heard that he could just be going through an adolescent phase. We are willing to...

I've been trying, but he's been pretty passive the last couple of days. He did come at my son last night while all of us were sitting with the chickens. He does not like us to hold his girls and that's what set him off last night. Which really is him doing his job; protecting his girls even...

So, you wouldn't take a chance in eating them yourself?

So, my Dominique has been laying eggs NOT in her nesting box. We knew something was up when she went missing the other day and showed up a little later. We just couldn't figure out where she was laying. This morning when my son went out to feed the chickens and let them out, she made a mad...

Thanks for the reply :) He is the only roo and we have 5 hens right now, though we do want to get more soon. Also, he mostly rushes us, but will sometimes fly at my son and he has done that to me the few times I've turned my back to him, which we try to be mindful of. He is more aggressive...

We have a beautiful, 6-month-old Americauna rooster that we love. We've raised him since he was only two days old. He is becoming more and more aggressive and I have done a lot of reading on how to get them over that. For the last month of so, we've been holding him, in front of his girls in...

We came back from camp and found a surprise!! These are from my Red Sexlink. She is the only one laying, but she's about a month early! Nonetheless, we are so excited!!

A couple more

They are so cute! I'm going to find a way to keep them out of the coop ;). Thank you both for the helpful advice!! Here are some pics!![/IMG]

We bought two, three month old bucklings three weeks ago and they are doing very well. They are a bit shy and we are trying to be patient with them as they get used to their new surroundings. They are just starting to let us touch them, but on their own terms. I noticed that one of them has...

You all are great! Thank you so much for the info! We've known that we're probably going to have to change Rusty's name, lol! I think we were being hopeful! Maybe Rustic ;)

We have 6, 6-week-old chicks as of today. We bought 4 pullets, and hoping for a rooster, we pulled two from the mixed Bantam box. I know we have a Bard Rock Bantam who likes to hop on the other chicks (possible rooster or too early to tell?) and then we have the other one. Not sure what it is...

Will do! Thanks :)

My chicks just turned 6-weeks old today! We have 6 different breeds and I love them all! Anyways, I love to watch them and I've noticed that my Bard Rock Bantam is hopping on the backs of the other chicks. It doesn't last long at all because the moment he hops on, he's right off again. I know...

any ideas? :D

I'm so happy she is doing well. :)
