    PLEASE HELP !

    Just last night one of my chickens, a two year old salmon favorelle, died unexpectedly. I found her sitting outside the coop around dusk when all the other chickens already went in. Her comb was purple ish and she wouldn't stand on her own and actually let me pick her up and cuddle her! That was...

    Hen never started laying..

    We give the chickens a scoop from a large can into their feeder of feed for laying hens, and half a scoop of mixed feed with crushed corn and oyster shell grit. I keep the top of the feeder off because what she does is perch on the side of the feederand tip her head upside down and begins to...

    Hen never started laying..

    From what I can see, she has adapted to eating differently, but since I don't have any bantams, could there be something else to help her out?

    Hen never started laying..

    Dixie Rainbow Weights ?

    I own a rainbow cock that is about 5 and a half months old right now, and his estimated weight is around 15 pounds. I was wondering if anyone knew how heavy rainbow roosters are supposed to get when they are fully grown (around a year i think ?) If anyone could help me out, that'd be great!

    Ameraucana Eggs

    Hi everyone, I have two brown red Ameraucana hens that should be starting to lay soon, and when i purchased them from Hoover's Hatchery, I found them under the Easter Egger category, so I was under the impression that they would be laying blue, green, or pink eggs. But I recently saw that...

    Best way to incubate eggs

    So once my old hen (7 years old) realized there were two roosters, she became baby crazy, becoming broody and pecking my hand even if she wasn't sitting on an egg. I'm not quite sure if she's still laying, but if she is and her egg gets fertilized, should I let her sit on it? or put it in an...

    Do they have to go into the coop at night?

    My coop is off the ground sitting on barn beams, and it's partially insulated (still need to finish the walls inside). I have had many issues with raccoons getting my chickens, but they were never able to access the chickens while in the coop. It was if we didn't get home soon enough to close...

    Do they have to go into the coop at night?

    My chickens go into their coop by themselves once it starts to get dark. It took a little while for the younger chickens to learn, but they quickly caught on. We don't manually try to put the chickens in the coop because it's impossible, they'll just slip right out. They know when to go in. We...

    I had ordered 15 female chicks from Hoovers Hatchery, all two days old. But now the chickens are 7 weeks old. I have two left of the Rainbow breed (the chickens of this breed have different feather patterns), and even though I ordered females, one chicken of that breed is looking quite like a...
