Thank you all so much for the feedback. My daughter took him to the local feed store where they adopt out roosters. I think by the end of the day one of the workers will take him home. They loved him there!
she said that all of a sudden he started crowing when he saw some baby chicks and he...
This is what we thought! Is it just completely confused? I have owned roosters before, but they have always started to crow by this age not clucking like a hen
I have no idea, nor can I find what kind of breed this chicken is so I have no reference. It looks like a rooster and is as mean as one. was hatched on May 5. No signs of mating or crowing and when I go to catch it there is a lot of hen noises not rooster. It clucks like a hen when they are...
I've tried about 3 different feeders, but will definitely keep looking. I am allergic to commercial eggs because of the wheat in the feed. This is the only way I get to enjoy eggs
I have been trying different ways to feed to find out what's best. I know a lot of people put their girls food in the coop. I have been trying that, but it's such a mess and I'm afraid it's going to attract flies and ants in the coop. Is this best or should i just put it outside and pull it in...
We're on the fourth day of the impacted crop and beginning to think that it's more of a slowed crop since she is still pooping and acting fine. She's drinking water normally and if she has the chance to eat she does, but I've been withholding food for three days now. Although yesterday she was...
Yes she has grit, I gave her some yesterday. Should I continue with the water and olive oil and give her grit and wait for it to pass? Or should I continue massaging her crop? I've read other threads where they said to make them throw up but I don't know if I want to do that if it's not...
I have a Cochin who is a little over a year now who recently got what I think is an impacted crop. The past three mornings when I let her out her crop was full and firm. Yesterday and the day before I let her do her own thing because she was acting her normal self. Last night I had her drink...
We've had the first hot day in a few weeks today, it was 95 and one of my hens is a little lethargic, not too much though. Her crop is a little soft so I think she's had more liquids than solids today. She pooped this, could this be anything?
Hi everyone! These are the legs of my beautiful, twenty two month old Cochin, Savannah. She is the top of the pecking order and has actually never molted. Several weeks ago she started what I felt was a molt. She hasn't lost a significant amount except for recently her neck feathers are falling...
