Hi, I am not sure if this is in the right forum, but I have a few questions on reestablishing flocks. We have had some issues with our current flock of four which originally started out at 8. We are getting rid of 2 hens that are not laying and rude, and want to add 6-8 more chickens and build...

Hi there, I have 4 chickens, 2 red sex links, 1 Easter Egg, and 1 Austra White. The 2 reds started laying about 1 or 2 months ago. However, only 2 of them are laying. I thought that Austra Whites were early layers, but I guess not:/ Can anyone let me know why this might be? Thanks! (Also they...

Hello everyone, my Red Sex link, Rose is very sluggish and did not come out of the coop today. When i pick her up, she is very limp, and seems to have lost some weight. She does not do anything, she just lays down and stares at the floor. I have attached pictures of her poop, which is mostly...

Hello there, for the last week my little Australorp Olive has been acting very sick. If food or water is held directly in her face she will nibble at some or take a little sip but overall is just lethargic and sleepy. Doesn't look around and peck or scratch, just sits and sleeps. I original...

Hello there. It is my first time incubator eggs and I have a chicken egg hatching right now. The incubator I am using is a small, cheap one so i don't know if humidity levels are correct or not. I can feel its heartbeat and it chirped when I used a q-tip to moisten the membrane. Should I leave...

I just let my 7 13 week old pullets outside to get some free-range time and I watched three in a row poop liquidy, diarrhea. When they start laying eggs I will be mixing my own grains and making my own food for them. Is it possibly something that they are eating?

I have recently acquired a pair of red golden pheasants and will be selling their fertile eggs:) Delivery may be possible, depending on locations... Pm me if interested

My friend has a flock of about 20 chickens plus some various chicks in an outside growing pen. He just had one of his frizzle hens die this morning and is worried about a few others, particularly one of his roosters ... Yesterday he used a medication to de-worm all of them, but I don't think...

I am totally new to hatching eggs and have a breeding pair of red golden pheasants. My main question is how long can I wait to collect eggs before I put them in the incubator. Also what can I use to deworm the pheasants? Any information or advice is appreciated:)

I currently have a pet pigeon that I keep in a dog kennel, and have never bred pigeons or taken care of baby pigeons. Today, I received a baby pigeon, but I am not entirely sure how to take care of it. I can't give it to my adult, because he will kill it. I have been feeding it a crop milk...

One of my chicks cut herself(I think on some wire) She was bleeding on her neck and her toe but I used syptic powder to stop the bleeding. I have separated her in a kennel.

One of my chicks has had this poop of and on but it doesn't look normal. What should I do? My other chick normally has perfect poop but just had one that looks concerning.

We have owned a couple of pigeons over the years, but only as pets and have never bred them. I want to build a kit box to breed a couple pairs but need to know what they require in order to breed. Also what are some of the easiest types to breed? Thanks to anyone who can help:)

So I just switched my chicks to their coop and I have wood chips at the bottom of their run... Can I keep woodchips in their? Should I scrape them out and put grass in? I also have a few rocks in their but they are not small enough to eat.

This is my Easter egger, Ophelia. She is 5 weeks old. I am wondering what breeds are in her. She has a pea comb and gray legs but her coloring is different. Any ideas?

I purchased my 7 chicks at Pratt's Pets in Glendale, AZ. Supposedly they were pullets. But one looks suspicious... This is my barred rock. She is about 5 weeks old.

Ok so basically each person will name a chicken breed with the letter at the beginning of the name, unless the letters are hard ones such as x y or z. In that case, you can use the letter in the name. After naming the breed, post a picture of it and if you want to, write a funny story or...

Lol my favorite is when one of my chicks will grab a piece of a treat and then take off running to other side of the brooder so they don't have to share. Share your stories!
