    New Chicken Owner

    Trust us when we say no to two roosters, one day they are fine then the next day they are fighting to the death. You need at least 20 hens per rooster or separate pens.

    New Chicken Owner

    2 Roosters and one hen will end up in heartbreak, as I learned the hard way. My poor one eyed rooster is the result of us not rehoming soon enough, although he does well now that he is the only male.

    Why is she drinking this way?

    My baby chicks turns it's head completely upside down to drink water? It does eat and occasionally I notice it's head cocked to the left. No others display this behavior. Any suggestions? Should I treat for wry neck?

    Sick Rooster

    the poop chart was very helpful!!! How do you describe normal poop - thanks. The roos poop looks more like the watery one with a kidney infection, but still may be worms. He did eat some scratch so hopefully he will get better. Thanks guys for all the help.

    My baby just had babies and I don't know what to do

    Do I need to put them in a brooder or do I let mom do the work? Temps are 60 - 70 days and 50 - 60 nights outside. They have a hen house but shared by the others. Mom seems to be shooing the others away. Help this first time Grandma out. What do I do?
