I was doing a nightly check up and noticed that my rooster's right eye is extremely swollen. This has been the first super hot day this year and I don't know if that has anything to do with it. It looks like it has some clear discharge running from it and the white of his eye looks covered in...

I am in love with my new bantam flock, but the process has been downcast because of a chick lost at delivery (Quail Belgian D'Anver.) If anyone in the Gorham Maine area has an extra bantam chick that they are willing to sell that is in the day old to week old range please let me know. Here are...

I am currently looking to pick up a single chick in the Gorham Maine area, but I am willing to drive a reasonable distance. I need only one chick because I ordered 6 chicks from a hatchery and only five survived shipping and I am looking to replace the sixth. If any one has any chicks in this...

So we all know that there are dog people, and there are cat people. I'm pretty sure that there can also be chicken people. My question is what makes a chicken person. Include things like how your personality traits jive with chickens, other hobbies that work well with chicken keeping, and...

Today I upgraded to the new facebook timeline feature I was going through some of the new features and found that getting a new pet was considered a life event. As I was checking it out it asks for pet name, type, and breed. I tried it and it has Easter Eggers! I thought this was so cool and had...

I have a 12 week old Silkie that was pecked badly a few weeks ago. We took him out so we could treat his wound and keep him safe until he healed. We have a flock with 6 one year old hens and 3 broodmates. He was attacked by a few of the big hens. He is still missing feathers where he was...

My nine week old silkie lives in the coop with my big girls and his/her brooder mates. They've been in the coop for a few weeks and everybody else was roosting except for my silkie. I hadn't had time to build a ladder for him to get to the low roost. I went into the coop this morning and he was...

Hello, Today I got a three week silkie chick. I introduced him(just a guess) to my two light Brahmas outside freeranging. They've been in the brooder together for a few hours now and they're really trying to establish the pecking order. the silkie is very submissive, but one of the light...

These are my two new Light Brahma's I realize that it's probably too early to tell their gender, but I would like to know how old they are. I got them at the feed store in a hutch of 3-5 week olds. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I recently got cedar cat litter so I could compost it and I keep the litterbox for the cat in the basement. I'm getting month old chicks tomorrow and I'm wondering if it will be a problem for the chicks to be in the basement about 10ft away from the litterbox? The chicks would be in pine...

Chickens are my pride and joy. They make me laugh and the make me cry. Their bold personalities are something to behold. I see myself in each of my very different chickens. Tizzy is the heart of my flock everybody likes her, but she gets picked on the most for being different with her...

I currently have six 11month hens. 1 BR, 1BSL, 1 RSL, 2RR, 1EE all standard size. I am having problems with my head hen (BR). She's gotten very agressive and half of my flock is bald because of her (EE, BSL and RR). I"ve tried the cabbage toy and adding vinegar to their water. We just seperated...

My computer cursor has been jumping all over the screen, dragging and dropping things, and inserting letters into previously typed words. Does anyone know a solution to this?

After a blizzard we got yesterday I went out to shovel the run. Five birds were peeking out of their window curiously. They really weren't too sure about stepping out into the snow, yet they had no problem eating it off of their ramp. It was amazing how quickly they decided that the snow was...

Hello, I've noticed that some members of my flock have been making wheezing sounds like an asthmatic person might make. I'm not sure if I'm being paranoid or not. It started in one bird and now there are a few making the noises. Is this a respitory problem, or are they just chickens making...
