    Advice: A new hen for a potentially Myco positive flock of one.

    I have a question for all you chicken pros. I hope you can offer some advice. I have two Pekin Bantam hens who were flock mates since they were pullets in 2010. They free range during the day in a fully enclosed garden and are locked up in their coop at night. Last year in January, one of...

    Injured hen not eating after 4 weeks and in slow decline!

    Thanks everyone for the kind words and helpful advice. I agree that chasing her and tube/syringe feeding was far more damaging than helpful for my poor girl. I stopped that two days ago and have let her be herself without the fear of being constantly harassed. I have tried giving her yogurt...

    Injured hen not eating after 4 weeks and in slow decline!

    Thanks Roxyblue, That one last vet visit might be in the future for my poor Bella very soon. Slow death by starvation would surely be an awful way to go.

    Injured hen not eating after 4 weeks and in slow decline!

    One of my Pekin Bantam hens was attacked by a cat on October 11th. She sustained a bite wound to her right rear neck/ear flap, and a good two inch laceration in her chest. Our avian vet stitched her up and she was put on Sulfatrim [antibiotics] and Metacam [for pain]. She spent a week and a half...

    roosters crowing

    I have a little Silver Sebright that started his crowing attempts at (no lie!) 1.5 months. He's 4 months now and crows up a virtual storm. It starts at about 6 am - and he'll belt out about 15 to 20 (I've counted) in a row. Thank goodness he's just a little banty!

    Her face is....crooked - pics included

    I have a 3 month old silver sebright roo named Jack-Jack with the same problem. He was purchased from a local feed store, and hand-raised from 3 days old. He's always gotten greens, grit and proper nutrition so I'm not convinced it's simply a calcium deficiency that's causing his upper beak to...

    What's Been Your Experience In Getting Chicks To Imprint On You?

    A week ago I was in the local feed store to buy a coop. I walked over to check out their current stock and as I neared the cage of 3 day old Sebright bantams, one roared up to me and insistently nibbled on my nail. Being a big softy, I took her home. Although Maisey has a comfy cage with a nice...
