I found a beautiful rooster in Brooklyn, NY, of all places. I think he's a Brahma (he has feathered feet) and at first I thought he was a bantam but now I think he may just be a few months old because he has grown immensely in the past few weeks. He's a very social little guy and seems very...

Sorry, you must place an ad in our Buy/Sell/Auction area in the proper format. Good luck finding him a home!

Hello folks, Once again I find myself coming to this forum of brilliant hen owners. Here's the latest puzzle. I have a beautiful Araucana named Bernzie who about 3 weeks ago started with labored breathing and wheezing. No discharge from the sinuses, no mucus in the throat, just wheezing. Her...

Hello all, Yesterday I noticed one of my Araucana hen's egg sack seemed to be drooping a little. she was still running around with the rest so I figured I'd wait a day to see if whatever it was passed. Today it was the same. She's still eating and roosting and not sticking too close to home as...

Hello folks. When my hens went to roost tonight, I noticed one of my 7 month old pullets was hanging around a nest. I went back 15 minutes later and she was in the nest. I noticed a clear liquid leaking from her vent. I lifted her tail and found lots of dropping on her inner tail feathers. She's...

Well, hello everyone. Here I am again reaching out to you with questions. I would like to thank everyone on here again for their help and support when I was treating my girls for cocci. I have 7 chickens at 19 weeks old, all are feisty and full of energy. They are all eating layer mash. I feel...

Hello folks, Last week I posted about two blood spots in a couple of dropping on the coop floor. I decided not to worry about it, but keep a close eye on what's going on. This morning I went out to open their door and there was a somewhat large dropping that was very gelatin-like. Has anyone...

Hi folks, I went out to my coop this AM and saw a slightly bloody stool, and a blood spot abot a foot away. They were both tiny. Should I be concerned? A little background info: My pullets are about 16 weeks old. 4 araucanas, 2 golden comets and 1 rhodey. All seem very healthy. They free range...

Hi folks. It seems I have a sick hen; 8 weeks old. She is wheezing and has somewhat labored breathing. I'm concerned it may be some sort of respiratory infection. I'm in Upstate NY and we have had rain almost everyday for three weeks, so it's hard to keep a properly ventilated and dry...

I have seven chickens between 4 and 6 weeks old currently. My coop (formerly used for chickens by the previous owners of the property...I think they had a lot more chickens) is 8X12 and 10' high. I took out the wood floor and having a concrete floor poured this week. I was wondering if I should...

I'm using pine shavings, but while reading some other posts here, I saw that someone said it gives chicks pasty butt. Whats the deal? I think it's easier to raise kids (children) than chicks!

When my six chicks were 1.5 weeks old, I got 2 additional and have been keeping them in a separate brooder because the others just seem so much bigger. Will the week old chicks be okay if I place them in the larger brooder with the 3 week olds? What's the rule around this? Also, my brooder is...
