So I culled my first rooster last night, put him in the fridge overnight and all day today. Cooked him up and it is so tough you can not eat it! What could be the reason?

Ok! So like some of you have been, I'm sure, I'm in over my head with roosters! I've finally got s.o. to agree to set me up a culling area. Now, here is a little insight. I have a total of 38 chickens right now of all ages. I'll SAY I have 8 roos! Lol! My coop is an area that is an eighth of an...

I'm using a Hova-Bator 1602N. My last clutch of 10 was hatched naturally. Only 8 hatched and almost 4 months later 2 remain surviving. Mom was not a good mom. Hence why I' m using an incubator and being the mom this time! I'm on day 20 with my first clutch. After candling only 11 passed...

I just received a r.i.r. hen. Looks to be about egg laying age. She's nothing but feathers, no meat on her bones. I have her isolated. While looking her over I noticed little white bugs, which im assuming is lice. I also found this bug on her. What in the world is it? How do I treat her lice...

We found this little fellow roaming the streets in our town. We were able to catch him. Brought him home and introduced him to the flock! He's such a funny little character! I was able to find what I think is the place he came from. I'm waiting on word on whether or not we get to keep him today...

I'm not sure what's going on. She seems to be healthy. No runny nose, no wheezing, eating and drinking normally, just started laying 2 weeks ago and she lays almost every day. We've been dealing with triple digit temps. It was all bright red then. Then last few days our low has been in the 60s...

I heard a ruckus outside. Went and a huge hawk had two of my babies! I freaked, running after it! It dropped one and she can't use her legs! She's eating and drinking, just can't walk. What should I do? I have her separated from the others. She's 2 weeks old. I'm heartbroken!

I'd appreciate the input. The feed and supply store just told me he was a big roo. That I can tell! What kind is he though?

Today is day 21 of natural incubation. 8/10 eggs hatched on day 18. Not sure if the wing thing is right on sexing. If so, half are cockerels, which I plan on having processed once old enough. Anywho, I have a couple questions! When can I allow the chicks with the rest of the flock (they are in a...

Hey everyone! My start up story is actually pretty cool! A friend came and picked me up saying he needed some help. We pulled up to a multimillion dollar home that was surrounded by chickens of all sorts and sizes! He told me we were there to catch six total, a cockerel and the rest pullets...
