When I checked on my hens this morning, I noticed on sitting instead of foraging, not long after leaving the coop. She ried to get up and was very wobbly. She bagan throwing her head back, Squawked and died. Any ideas what the problem may be. She has displayed no issues before this morning.

I have a 22 week, unknown/likely mixed breed bird that has started to crow. The bird has hardly and comb and no apperent bumps where spurs would grow. Any thoughts on sex would be appreciated.

I may live in the city now, but I was raised out in the woods. I am more versed in wildlife than most and paint and sketch wildlife, several subjects that are part of the falco family. It is without doubt a falcon. It was not around yesterday evening for a photo op, which is a good thing. But I...

That was what I was thinking too. Thank you.

Not sure on breed, but it is a larger falcon and definitely a falcon. I did an internet search, but nothing was obvious. I will try to get a better look if he is still around this evening.

Morning. I have a flock of five(5) hens of assorted breeds that are 13 - 14 weeks old. I have no rooster due to city ordinance. they are in a secure coop except for when I let them out for some supervised free ranging. Yesterday, I noticed a large falcon in the area. The longer the day went on...

Most game cameras have infrared capabilities now (sans flash) and the prices are not as bad as they were ten years ago. But if nothing else you could at least put up a dummy surveillance camera that has a red light on it as a possible deterrent. I would also contact the local law enforcement...

Ginger got her a snake today and the rest of the flock was jealous.

I have an 8 week old mixed breed pullet that for the last couple of days has been shyed away from the rest of the flock. Today she is a little more active but has watery eyes and a small amount of clear fluid draining from one nostril. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks

Sorry to hear about your troubles. You could put up a surveillance or game cam and maybe catch or deter future issues.

So far there has not been. There is a fee crumbs on the ground around it, but not close to what the standard store bought feeders allow.

It looks like they approve. I guess I will build them another one.

Thank you

Thank you, sir.

I mean cutting. There will be no surgery. All free-ranging will be supervised as I live in an area where various hawks, falcons and occasional golden eagles nest.

Morning. I have an 8 week old flock of various breeds. At what age should their wings be clipped and should I clip one or both wings? When we raised chickens when I was a kid, we clipped one and never had any issues, but I have recently started keeping chickens again and have received advice...

Thanks. That was what I was thinking, but hoping I was wrong.

Any ideas on sex of this bird. It is 7 weeks old. Thanks for any input. The bird was given to me and is likely a mixed breed of some sort.

Hello all. I am wondering if anybody has any ideas on the sex and breeds of my 3-4 week old chicks. I received them at while taking a class at a local Ag Extension class and was told the eggs were gathered from several local contributors and some are likely mixed-bred. Any thoughts would be...

Hello all. My name is James A Edwards. I grew up always having between 20 and 25 hens and a rooster before enlisting in the Marine Corps. Now almost 30 years later, we are finally starting an urban chicken farm after wanting to for years. We just built our coop, went to a county Ag Extension...
