Thank you for all your replies. We are going to keep trying like we are doing. We are bringing one rooster out of the temp. fenced area at a time, giving them time to get back along and then we will go on to the next. We are taking it slow and so far we have one of the roosters back over into...

I have 8 roosters and 32 hens, they are 2 years old. They all grew up together and everything has been just fine. One rooster in particular has always been what we called the king of the coop, his name is butterscotch. About a week ago we saw 3 roosters on top of butterscotch fighting him...

hi, Just wondered if someone might know- I noticed yesterday morning after walking into the coop that one of my smaller hens had what looks like the color of a black eye on a person around one of her eyes, is this possible? Can hens get bruised eyes like that? If so, I am thinking maybe...

*bump* Does anybody know about guineas? Thanks

Hello! I have a guinea problem. We have a separate chicken wired area within a regular chicken coop for our guinea flock of 7 that are 1 year and 5 months old. We hatched a keet (a baby guinea) from our guineas in an incubator 7 months ago and we are having problems introducing her into the...

Thank you for your reply. I was thinking the heat too was affecting them as they are even at times panting. We have fans running in the coop. The eggs are fresh as we gather them every morning and then again every night, we never let a day go by without gathering the eggs. Our hens are very...

Hi! Usually the fresh egg yolks will stand when cracked open, but lately some of them the yolk will instantly run like water when the egg is opened, any ideas why? It has been hot weather here and high humidity- we feed extra egg by Kent, free access oyster shell, scratch occasionally, and...

Thank you all for the reply's, this helps alot! She is so frantic when we seperate her that we're going to try keeping her in with the flock and marking her eggs. She's broody right now, in fact she's broody every time she lays an egg, so it's no problem getting her to sit, and no waiting...

Thanks for the replies.....I'm not wanting her to be broody, she already is.....pecking at me, ruffling her feathers, etc...it's just that when I moved her from her spot where she was sitting into the special room that we made chicken wired off for mommie's to be, she got out of being broody and...

Hi, We have some hens that we want to be mommies, they are very special, although all of them are very special!! :-D We didn't want the babies to be born and be pecked to death if this can happen with them being in with the rest of the flock in the coop, so we made a special mommie...

That is what we was concerned about is if it is poor health, but appetite is fine, poo is normal. How do you look for mites? We looked through the feathers and didn't see anything. Once when we went in the coup the comb area was bloody, so we rushed to exam, saw nothing, we washed the all...

Thank you for your reply! We did plan on making sure that we have the time first to be right there and watch them for quite awhile, I don't want any of them to get hurt. We wasn't sure since some of our 4 month chickens and roosters are like 50% bigger then the 2 month old chicks that are...

Hello, Hope you can answer our questions. Our one Cornish Rooster has a droopy comb and wondered why? The only thing we could find on that it's maybe worms and gave him Cayenne pepper mixed in his food as a natural remedy, but it is still drooped over to one side. Also you...
