    My Hen Grew Spurs

    I have a hen with spurs too. She is a Super Blue. :) Some do, some don't. I think it's just in their genes.

    I WANT YOUR VET'S INFORMATION

    What kind of information do you need? 😁 I have taken chickens and ducks to Dr Brad Johnson in Norfolk, Nebraska. It's just called Norfolk Veterinary Clinic.

    Could it be a wren?

    Bald spot

    They might go after whoever is lowest in the pecking order the hardest. She might be the one who needs it the most. :)

    Mysterious Bald Spot - Parasite?

    Is she free ranged? This is a shot in the dark here, but I wonder if a predator tried to grab her and ripped out the feathers instead? I see some blood so I'm certain she did not lose them naturally. Hopefully it doesnt happen again. You did good with the vetericyn, I would've done the same. If...

    What does my rooster have

    I saw you mention fowl pox, I have never experienced it so I dont have much room to talk about it. But from the images I see, they are swollen sores that look really gross. Chickens can get into little quarrels at random, even ones that typically get along. Especially roosters. Sparring and...

    What does my rooster have

    Hi! Sorry your rooster isn't feeling well :( Do you have another rooster or a mean hen? I'm wondering if he got beat up really bad. The purple comb tips do concern me a little, what are his other symptoms besides the black scabs? Is he skinny? How is his breathing? Is it raspy? What does his...

    Chickens & cats

    I suppose it's up to you. If the hen isnt sitting on the nest constantly nothing will hatch and the eggs will start to get old and rot. I personally would throw the eggs out, it could potentially attract a bad predator. I dont think the cat poses any threat. It might just be cold. If you're...

    Chickens & cats

    My cats eat eggs, just a warning. When hens sit on eggs, they make them super warm. Cats LOVE warm things, so it is probably laying on them to warm itself. :)

    Bald spot

    Hi! :) How old is the rooster? If he is around 7 months to a year old that tends to be when they go overboard on mating. In most cases it will go away when his hormones calm down, some are just always aggressive when it comes to mating. I always separate my young roosters to protect the hens...

    Using Cats to Find Coop Flaws

    😊Thanks! The more I thought about it, the more it made sense. If raccoons and other predators can take the time to find flaws, even under pressure of guard dogs and human activity, cats should be able to find them just as easy, if not easier. I'm not good at typing out ideas, but I thought...

    Using Cats to Find Coop Flaws

    Cats are snoopy, troublesome pets. That's why we love them so much! Cats are great rodent catchers, and can get rid of your mouse problem very quickly in the coop. What else can they do that's helpful to the coop? Find gaps and holes! How to do it: Having your chickens inside is optional...

    Do people do mean things with free roosters?

    Unfortunately, people will even buy roosters for money and use them for fights or bait. Some guy was willing to pay 10$ a piece for mine, a few days later his name was in the news for cockfighting. It's sad to think of a young animal soul being killed just because of their sex and hormones, I...

    SHOW OFF YOUR YUM! Food Photography Thread

    The ones at my walmart are 8oz wedges, but my local grocery store only has 5oz. I go overboard on cheese, so you could probably get away with less and it still taste good 😂

    Chick Toy Options

    No problem!! I'm glad we could offer our opinions to you. 😊 Chicks are a lot of fun when they're tiny, watching each one's little personality bloom is very rewarding. I put my hands down on their level a lot, without reaching or grabbing to get them used to my hands. Hand feeding is a great...

    Chickens love STYROFOAM! Eating Again, Polystyrene!

    One time when I was raising chicks, I had the BEST idea how to stop them from dumping their water and ruining their fresh bedding. I had an old styrofoam cooler lid I set in there upside down. It had a small lip on it, so IF they managed to knock down the water, it would be contained in the lid...

    Chick Toy Options

    Hello! :) I will be brutally honest, I have raised hundreds of chicks and never got any toys for them. When I had lonely chicks I did use a small stuffed animal and a small mirror. When they start getting little wing feathers you can get them things they can fly on and off of for practice, I did...
