Thanks. Good to know. And yes, chickens are extremely lots of fun!
I'd love to keep the hen, but they are inseparable. He can't stand a minute without her, and she can't stand a minute without him.
They grew up together as chicks, and since there are no other chickens to be with, if one can't...
No, the rooster hasn't mated with the hen yet.....they're still young, I guess. They're both four months old, and the rooster is a couple of more days older than the hen.
I said I didn't think it was heat stress, but that's what it turned out to be.
I took the hen and splashed some cold water...
This is my first time raising chickens, I'm a newbie so I don't know most things so please help me out.
I have two chickens, a rooster and a hen. They are barred rocks and they are four months old.
My hen has been panting and I don't know what's wrong? I don't think it's heat stress they have...
