    My hen has a bunch of broken feathers.

    You really want to look into saddles, I am probably going to start using them soon too, but without using them it can get really bad, 1/2 of one of my hens back is completely bare, and with others it is also really bad.and you shouldn't worry about overheating as long as you have fresh cool...

    I believe it is a hen sometimes, even though rare, a hen is able to crow. I have never experienced this personally however my father did.

    Lonely Rooster

    Honestly I don't think there is too much to be worried about unless your girls are 1/3 of his size or somewhere near that size difference, but if you are still worried then you should just let him sleep with them at night and spend a bit of time with them and then separate them again. However I...

    My Hens Have Broken Feathers On Their Backs

    This has been happening for a while and I figured that I should ask on here. All of my hens, some more than others, have part of their wing and back feathers broken and the skin is constantly red in that spot. I think that my rooster is causing this, but somebody told me that It could be a...

    Im back with this unidentified thing..

    This is definitely a hen. I can tell by the head, but also that if it was a rooster then it would have a longer tail most likely. I.t most likely over a year old because of how long the feathers on its feet are, but also the feathers look like they are in good shape and it has a very healthy...
