We have several roosters. There is one Jersey Giant rooster who we believe is deaf. When we go out to the coop, he will be sitting in front of the window we have on the coop. We'll tap on it and he'll just lay there sleeping, until one of the other chickens bump into him. When we let them out to...
I've read that you are not supposed to wash eggs because they have a protective coating on it to keep it fresh. I've also read that you are supposed to wash them because they absorb poop when they are layed. So what am I supposed to do?
Last Saturday I went to go let my chickens out of the coop when I realized that one hadn't come out of the coop. She was laying on the bottom of the coop on her side. I took her in the house and put her in a cage. Her leg is stiffened and will not move. She cannot walk on it either. What do I...
We got them from bird swap, we kept them separate for a few days, and then we put them in with rest. We have two Bantam roosters if the same kind and they both have one eye closed. We call them Popeye, but then we started worrying after our whole flock was sick. So I went to the Web for answers...

Their combs are starting to turn red and they are laying in the nesting boxes a lot. I guess this means they are starting to get ready, Thank-you so much for the help!
I have 4 White Leghorns and they are all each 5-6 months old but they are not laying yet. I read on here that they start laying around 4 months. Am I doing something wrong? They always have a food and water, they roam outside of their run, they get scratch grains and crickets. I only put them in...
