Bantam hen 5-6 years old. It started about a week ago. The looked normal (no injury) but started swelling. (The second foot was a little swollen but went back to normal right after starting penicillin.) I started soaking it in Epsom salt twice a day and keeping it clean but the swelling got...

9 months old He isnt tame but hes never shown any aggression. Treats the hens well, calls them over for treats and is gentle. Pick up in 95337 (northern CA) (Im saving for an incubator so would like the $10 but I need to find him a new home so its negotiable)

Is this a rooster? What color is it considered? Bought the eggs from a columbian/birchen pen. Its about 3 months old. What color is this one? It is really small compared to the other chicks the same age. Its also about 3 months old. (sorry for the bad picture)

I have 2, 1 year old silkies (1 hen 1 rooster) and 2, 1 year old EE hens in a pen together. This year I got 28 mixed bantams. When they were about 5 weeks old I divided the pen and put the babies outside. 3 days ago I opened the divider to put them together and there wasnt a single problem. The...

These are all bantams that came from TSC who gets them from Mt Healthy. Ive had some for 2 weeks and some for a week today. I have more than one of some kinds so I put them together. I have individual pictures of everyone. Im not trying to guess sex, but if you have a guess I would love to hear...

EE--He is an Easter Egger Rooster (a hen that came from the same place/time as him lays blue eggs so he may have the blue egg gene). He is large and about a year old. He is protective of his hens but has never been agressive to people. He is white and black. He is used to being free during the...

I built an incubator out of a styrofoam box, followed miss Prissy's directions. On one of the short sides I have the light on one side, the fan in the middle and then the thermostat. There is a sealed jar of water at the other end of the bator and a small bowl of water in the middle. I added 4...

Im in Northern CA.

Hi, thank you all for your replies. Our rooster was more of a pet. We actually had him for a few years before we got the hens. The reason we want to hatch the eggs from him is to have some of his babies around not really to replace him. It sounds like Im better off buying one for now. Does...

I hadn't planned on hatching any eggs this year but about a week ago something got our rooster and now I want to try to hatch some eggs while they are still possibly fertile. (I read that they can still lay fertile eggs for 3-4 weeks after the rooster is gone. I hope thats right.) I can afford...

Hi, I had a baby cockatiel who ruptured an air sack. The air would leak out and gather under the skin, I dont know if the same thing can happen with chickens but the symptoms sound the same. For the cockatiel I took a small sterile needle and released the air. Make sure not to hit a tiny vein...

I dont know how good animal control is in your area but you can call them and they should come pick them up. In our area the shelter will put them up for adoption and if they dont get adopted they have a farm that will take some of them. If not they put them to sleep like the cats and dogs.
