We have a RIR that's a little over a year who has taken on a very scruffy almost mangy look. She seems to be healthy, very active, just not very attractive. A couple of our other hens (not RIR) have some of it going on, but not nearly as bad. At first I thought it was molting, and that could be...

We have 6 adult hens and 10 18 week old chicks (one of them being a roo). They've been co-habitating in neighboring coops seperated by chicken wire. We'd like to de-comission the small coop/run and put the younger birds in the main coop/run this weekend, but we're concerned about any potential...

We have 1 (maybe 2) Americauna Roo that's darn near perfected his crow and shows the others who's boss. When do they start trying to mate?

I'm having a problem with flies in and around our coops. Any suggestions?

We have a RIR that we noticed had feathers that appear to be stuck or sticky. Rather dirty looking and we cleaned her up and clipped some of the bad feathers off. Now we're noticing that a few of the other birds also seem to be developing this issue. They appear healthy, very active and still...

My wife, 4 year old son and I have been in the chicken raising game for a little over a year. We started with 6 chicks (2 RIR, 2 Jersey Giants, Dark Brahma and a Golden Wyandate (sp?) and last week we picked up another batch of 10 chicks (3 Americauna's, 3 Australorp's, Blue Cochin, Buff...

We bought 10 chicks last week and all three of our Ameraucanas are having pasting issues. I've been cleaning it off and last night actually dipped their butts in a small dish of warm water to loosen everything and make sure their vents are clear. None of the other chicks are having these...
