Hello, I have a flock of 8 with a very young and active rooster. He really is too much for my girls, so I decided to rescue again since I have done that successfully once before. The ones I rescued (4) are terribly ill. They are eating and drinking but are sneezing, coughing, have watery bubbly...

I am doing an assembly on factory farming next year for my school. I had an idea to bring in one of my girls to show them exactly what- i mean who they are eating. Would it be unhealthy for my girl? she loves people so that wouldn't be an issue, would it be bad for her health to go somewhere?

Hi everyone, it's winter here in Montreal and its VERY cold, -25 it gets to. Most of my girls have frostbite, I tried everything and I can't seem to stop it. Is it really bad for them?? The ventilation in the coop is good, they have a heater that heats it to probably 17-20 degrees, and they have...

When my girls slow down on their laying we plan on getting more chickens/ we are depending on a broody hen that will hatch our next batch lol. What if none of them become broody?? My buff orpington built a very perfect nest and sat on it for a while, the other girls tend to it and sit on it as...

I had 6 chickens... now I only have 5. One of my favorites was killed yesterday. i am such a wreck... She was an amercauna named Morgoth. She was killed by something, and not eaten. We think it could be a neighbors cat. Our girls were free range of the whole yard, but now we are paranoid, so we...

In my experience, BEST HATCHERY EVER. I ordered 3 day old chicks from here. They sent 6 just in case of any deaths. None died, all arrived in Montreal from BC healthy and happy. 2 amercaunas 2 delawares 2 Buff orpingtons. Geoff, the owner of Beau Peeps kept in touch with me on the day of...

I got 6 chickens about 5 months ago, and one of he chicks at a day old had one eye shut. She opened it sometimes and it was full of water, you can tell it was running. We were told she probably got pecked in the eye so we put polysporin for the eyes. Today she still has the issue, only in one...

Yesterday evening, most of my chicks mouths were open. I thought 'hey, maybe they are hot.' I went into the coop, lol yes, and it did not seem to be hot for me. The temperature was 20-22 outside, and the lamp isn't a heat lamp. OH and a more serious issue, my Ameracauna, Morgoth always has a wet...

I have 6 beautiful chickens, and my two Delawares seem to be unable to hop up onto the roost or nesting areas of their newly built coop. It is not that high up, the rest of my chickens do it. Plus they have jumped up there before, and I have watched them attempt, fail, and then sleep on the...

So my 6 chicks are 16 days old, and one if the americaunas is grower at a much faster rate and looks very manly!! could it be a rooster?? and if so, is it possible to get them fixed? and it's the only one with that shape. there's a picture of my Orpington and my mom, to compare bodies

I was just curious, most people won't eat a dog because they're pets and they're cute and cuddly, but when you have chickens as pets it's the same deal right? I'm just curious to see how many chicken owners eat chicken still, I personally don't. PS WHY DO MY CHICKS SHAKE THEIR HEADS WHEN I TALK...

Hi guys! My name is Ophelia, and I ordered a Buff Orpington, an Americauna, and a Delaware from Beau Peep Farms (I rate 5 stars btw), to my surprise 6 arrived, 2 of each. They were hatched on June 10th so they are only 6 days old. Unfortunetly one of the americaunas eye got scratched. other...
