The little dance he did was extremely similar to what my roosters have always done and is more like the first "dance" you described, where he circles the others with his wing down. He did that twice when i first got him but i haven't seen him do it since. He also always gets very, very...

Do you think he will stay friendly?

After a long break from BYC, I am back. I lost a few birds last year from various reasons and I decided to take a break to focus on the birds I had left. Well, over the summer, I lost all but three of my birds due to a parasite. I was, and still am, heartbroken. My chickens were my pets more...

My newest pet, Ollie, was dumped outside in negative degree weather and survived on his own for who knows how long. He has really bad cataracs in one eye that prevent him from seeing out of it and has a pretty bad case of ear mites that I need help treating. I don't have any medication for it...

I just rescued a rabbit, Ollie, who had been dumped outside by someone about a week after Christmas in negative degree weather. He has severe cataracs in one eye that have caused it to go blind and has a bad case of ear mites, which are being treated. Other than that, he's a sweet heart who...

He's gorgeous!

Thank you for reading her story and thinking about my girl. I always looked forward to spending time with her and she encouraged me to keep fighting the battles I have with my health. Although she isn't here anymore, looking back on all she endured will give me the encouragment I need. If a...

Thank you. She really was gorgeous. I never thought I'd love and miss a chicken this much.

My beautiful and amazing golden cuckoo girl passed away. Vivi was special needs, as she was scalped by two other chickens when she was younger, and never completely healed in the head. She had poor balance, and seemed to forgot what a predator was. She lost all her confidence, got confused very...

I don't have any myself, but I have heard orpington roosters are definatley the way to go for nice roos! My guy is an easter egger, and as great as he is to humans and the hens, easter egger cockerels aren't always so nice.

I wish I had come on here sooner! I bought the heated bucket the other day...but maybe I can return it and get my money back to get that heater instead. It looks like it will work a bit better.

Does the bucket heater melt the plastic? Where did you find it?

Thanks so much. I would have added more, but that was all the leaves I got at that time. I am going to go on the hunt for more but at this time of year they are mostly already burned up.

I have an 8 quart flat back bucket with two poultry drinking cups screwed in for their water. I know it will freeze if I leave it and I will be hauling a lot of water. I am looking at different things to purchase and have come across a few - metal heated base, heated plastic waterer, or a heated...

This is my EE Pepper's first egg and egg she laid last week. Is it weird that her eggs changed from a blueish color to green?

Can anybody tell me how to keep the litter in the coop? Somehow it keeps disapearing. I mentioned it before that I had around 5-6 inches and then within two or three weeks I could see the wood floor. It's not getting kicked out of the coop so I'm thinking they are eating it? I just added another...

Congrats Alex! That drawing is going to be beautiful! It would look great in the coop!

I recently rescued two red sex links (very similar if not the same thing as red stars) and one of them lays the biggest eggs I have seen so far!

That's what I figured, but now her comb is back to normal size and is flopped over again. Temperature hasn't been getting warmer, so not sure why?
