I have a sussex hen (I purchased her as a sussex hen but she in appearance is an extra large production cross). She's over 10 lbs and just gigantic. We called her Jurassic chicken as she was as large as a rooster. Today she just dropped dead. This morning she was bullying the others for...

This is long and I'm sorry. I have a question, I recently posted in the predator thread because after 4 years of blissfully owning chickens, I have a predator problem and a disease problem. My speckled sussex was killed a couple of weeks ago while I was in the shower. My girls free range in my...

I lost a hen this morning. She was my 8 month old speckled sussex hen. Beautiful little bird, very sweet disposition. Anyway, I found her at 10am and am trying to work back to TOD and probable cause to figure out how I can proceed with management. I am not sure how anyone feels about graphic...

I have a new set of babies and a few older that are ready to go outside. My question is when can I put them in with an older hen? And the second question is about that hen and her rooster. They are from my first set of eggs this spring when I wasn't sure I wanted to get into quail - turns out...

Is there a best way to introduce new quail? I hatched some quail and kept 3. A grayish tuxedo female and a light red and gray male in wild pattern. I don't know the names of the colors but that's what they look like. He has pinkish/red and gray/silver feathers down his back. Since he came from...

so if a rat is out during the day....that means it's sick right? The rat was laying just under the edge of the shed and I thought it might be dead so I took a stick to pull it out and it woke up and crawled back under the shed. Now it's in the center of the shed where I can't reach it. I...

Are they fighting? Male inexperienced? Or bonded pair killing off the competition? I hatched a bunch of eggs, ended up giving most away and kept 3. They are 5 weeks old, a grayish Tuxedo, a really light red/silver feathered male (he has light pinkish red and gray feathers on his back) and a...

We had a terrible storm last night that came through and took out lots of trees. Our power went out around 10 pm and it was still out at 730 when I left for work this morning. It was too stormy last night to get the generator started and I couldn't get it started and leave it while I am at work...

I know you guys have probably discussed this before but I didn't see it going right down the list. I hatched some eggs and have 28 babies. I am giving them away to people locally. I have silver in solid and tuxedo, white, red (in various shades from pink to darker), wild color, dark range and...

I'm new to quail and have a few questions. Probably answered somewhere else in here but I google searched and didn't get an answer. I went to a friend's farm a few weeks ago, just to hang out and learn about chickens. She also has quail and we collected from her quail pen. When we went in the...

Hi, I'm new to BYC. I got 3 pullets this year to put in my backyard to help with the garden bugs. I live in richmond va. My three girls are a buff orpington, black copper maran, crested cream legbar. I also incubated some quail eggs and have questions that I posted in the quail section...
