Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do about an aggressive rooster? He was originally very sweet but I left for a month in February and since then he's been attacking me. Nothing really serious, but I can't walk, crouch, touch the feeder or waterer, or be near the chicks without getting...

What do you suggest searching to find a video? Whatever I'm typing in is not giving me any results. I think I could build it on my own, maybe with a little help, but I'm not sure what I should do for size unless I have specific instructions. I have smaller Orpington hens and a pretty large...

Hi! I don't really post on here too much, but I've been having trouble finding things and thought I'd try local. I'm looking to make/buy cheap poultry transport crates for shows. Like wooden crates for standard sized poultry, most likely Lavender Orpingtons. I also want to make some for some...

Yep! I know you'd have to sign up by yesterday- we decided not to go this year. All questions I'm asking are for reference to next year! :) And thank you, Bogtown Chick! The LO roo has just started to "attack" (more like running pretty slowly at her and punching her in the shins with his feet)...

I am also excited for hutch! I was hoping to show my Speckled Sussex and Orpingtons this year but we decided to wait until the next. Still going for the fun! Related question-- does anyone know the standard for Orpingtons? Could I show my Lavender orps at Hutch? I did show them at the local...

Thank you all! One more question, the woman who I got them from claimed the missing feathers on their backs were from a over active rooster. Could this be the truth or is it really from molting? None of the chickens I had originally have molted yet and the missing feathers are only on the new...

Hi! I recently adopted 10 new one year old hens, in addition to the 5 I already own. I have been getting light green and light pink eggs since I got these new chickens, and I know none are from the hens I had before (black maran mixes) because they only lay dark brown eggs. I believe that our of...

:)

Okay, this may be a dumb question but I'm new to chicken raising and I can't seem to find the answer in anything I read. My copper maran mix pullet just laid her first little brown egg today! She's about 6 months old. I'd like to eventually have chicks, and I've seen my cockerel mating with her...

Hi! I just want to start following this thread. I'm originally from Fargo, but my family all lives around Jamestown and Larimore. Right now I live on 10 acres outside of Barnesville on the MN side! I'd still love to be a part of this thread considering my ND roots and the proximity to ND. I have...

Thank you! Good to know! :)

My Black Maran mix just laid her first egg today!

Hi! My flock (my first) has dwindled from a group of ten now to five from a raccoon attack. Unfortunately it seems that I was left with four cockerels and only one pullet. They are all about five months old now (born on April 8th). Three are Lavender Orpingtons and I have two Black Maran...

I have a question, but I am glad to hear that your hen is doing better! This is the most recent post I can find about wry neck. I have a 10 week old lavender Orpington chick with what I think is wry neck. I'm new so I am not completely sure, but my vet cousin (who doesn't generally deal with...

Hi! I have a 10 week old Lavender Orpington chick with a crooked neck. Today I picked him up, held him for a couple minuets, and put him gently on the ground. He looked fine when I picked him up and when I was holding him, but when I looked at him after setting him back on the ground, his neck...

Thank you! Crossing my fingers it's a girl :)

HI! I have a orange speckled 6 week old chick. Can anyone guess what breed it is? Thank you! :)

Okay! It was cold out and he did get frostbite on his comb and wattle, (which has healed remarkably), but it wasn't that severe on his toes. But I can see that the reason for his missing toe nails could be frostbite. Will his toenails ever grow back or is this permanent? Thank you!

I only have one rooster, and no hens. I'm getting some more hens tomorrow though. I don't know what it could be from either!
