Should I do anything or just let mom take care of it? She isn't hurting it, but I'm worried the little one might hurt itself. The sac looks bloody.Any input greatly appreciated. Thank you.
This little boy is a joy to watch, but needs a future flock of his own. I call him my little miracle, because he not only outran a hawk, but warned me that there was trouble in our yard. I'd love to keep him, but my neighbors would probably object and so would my current flock protector. I'd be...
Hi,
I've had two eggs with yellow residue on them yesterday and one today. I thought maybe an egg broke, but haven't found any evidence and today it was on one of the eggs from the same hen as yesterday. Should I be concerned? It looks like yolk, but if it is wouldn't it be on the others?If they...
My hen is and has always been a temperamental ladie and it occurred to me that I haven't gotten an egg from her in over 6 months, around the time she was introduced to a new rooster. Could her mood towards the rooster be what's preventing her from laying eggs?
Thanks.
Hi, I have several young Faverolle Roosters looking for their own flocks to protect and serve. This is a gentle and docile breed that rarely goes macho on the owners, ( we keep one as a pet). They have all their toes and their beaks are on straight. I am willing to help with transportation.

Ramon is a young dude with his daddy's style/ confidence, and his mommy's stunning dark, exotic looks. At 5 weeks today he has proved that he is indeed from his daddy's loins, with a short, but confident crow. His daddy being of Orphington stock and mommy of Astrolorp, I have no doubt that he...

Hi,
My chicken was happily laying eggs in the coop and all of the sudden she is going through the motions of laying in her nesting box, sitting there for hours, coming out and laying it right outside the coop. What could be wrong?
Thanks!
I am looking for a home for a handsome boy that is being bullied by the flock and sticks to his own. He is about 4 months old and hasn't crowed yet. Thank you.
My lady has finished her molt and jumped back on the laying band wagon with no problems. One day while cleaning the coop I notice some blood on the poop and after further examining some on her behind feathers. She laid her egg that day and hasn't laid one since (about 2 weeks). She is acting her...
I have spent most of my morning keeping up with my little one's homeschool activities, contractions and trying to locate a vet that will give a chicken the time of day. I finally found a vet that normally would if she wasn't on vacation, so here I am.
My Salmon Faverolle, Serafina looked like...
