I'm still learning and looking for chickens. I have come across a term "heavy pullets". What does this mean?

My dad has about 5 buffs that he put in the pen with a rooster. The rooster had been injured by a hawk prior to this. They did well for a couple of weeks but now they are attacking him. If dad had not gone out there last night, they may well have killed him. Could they be doing this because he's...

My rooster was attacked by a hawk about 2 weeks ago. In the beginning, all I found were feathers but couldn't find him. After several days, I was calling the other roosters and heard a crowing coming from the woods. I crowed back and we crowed to each other until I found him. He was hopping...

I recently had to move my 4 roosters to the country. I spent a week making a house and then making it predator proof. I went to eat supper and when I came back to lock the roosters down for the night, they were up in a tree!(They would prior to this get into their original cage as sun when down)...

Not sure if this is the right place but....here goes. Has anyone had any problems with chickens and above ground pools? I'm worried that my chickens will perch on the side and fall in. I'm betting chickens can't swim, so should I just build my chickens a run? I've been letting them free-range in...

Our rabbit, Eric, was murdered and now I have about 20 pounds of rabbit pellets. Can I feed that to my chickens?

Can anyone look at Blake and tell us whether he is a rooster or a hen?S/he is 11 or 12 weeks old, has black legs as well. The comb is small and pink. Also if you can give a guess at the breed, we are curious about that as well.

I bought these chicks when they were 6 weeks old. I was told there were 5 hens and 1 rooster. 2 of the "hens" now make what sounds like a precursor to a crow. Not a peep out of the indicated "rooster". I looked for the spurs but as of yet only very tiny little bumps above their back toes...and...
