    How to deal with rogue dogs and their owners

    Hello everyone. Sorry for the delay in responses. My two New Hamp Reds seem to be doing ok. Their tail feathers have started to regrow. It's been a week and we haven't seen the dogs, nor heard from animal control. I will be making a call tomorrow and asking for more info on the laws regarding...

    How to deal with rogue dogs and their owners

    Hello everyone. I don't know if this is the right title or not. It's a combination of a question and rant. Yesterday morning, I got a frantic call from my wife. Two German shepards got into the chicken "yard" and killed 3 of my hens (1 Blk/Slv laced Wyandotte and 2 New Hamp Reds) and...

    Raising hens with different ages

    Hi dasexpanther. Welcome to BYC. I would say you're doing the right thing right now. Having the younger hen separated by a fence from the other two is something I'm doing right now. I have 5 New Hampshire Reds that are 3 yrs old, and 8 new chicks that range 12 to 16 weeks old. The chicks are in...

    Can anyone tell the gender?? ..pics

    Hi alychicks. Welcome. If I'm not mistaken, and Mountain Peeps could back me up, roosters would be growing a spur on the back of the leg by now. I've been told that that's a good way of know the sex of a young chicken. Hope this helps.

As far as the shell-less condition, it might be low calcium causing that. Try adding some crushed oyster shells, (or egg shells) which you can get at the feed store, to...

    I love chickens

    Welcome to BYC, Matt. Pretty cool to be reading a post from someone in Scotland. Beautiful country. I'm not sure if you like them, but, my two teens and I are big fans of Albannach. They were in the States back in November. Great concert. Take care and good luck.

    We have three Roosters... Now what?

    Hey adkrock! Welcome. I had two roosters, a couple years ago, out of 4 chickens. Pullets at the time. So, they all looked the same. When we started getting eggs, we couldn't understand why we only got two. One day, while I was cleaning the coop, I noticed two of them had really colorful neck...
