I have a silver duckwing OEG bantam hen who has started laying her eggs again and for the past 3 days she has been making the noise that mama hens make when calling their chicks for food, is this normal ?
Some wood and a few roofing sheets, a hammer, electric or hand saw, welded wire fence for possible windows. These are the only things that I used for building my coop didn't really cost anything since we got the material from the farm we live, the roofing sheets could simply be plastic.
To scare or kill wasps, what I find best is using soap and water in a spray bottle and they wont like it, if you just want them to leave don't spray too much or it will kill them
Today my bottle-fed lamb who is 2 months old now has not been eating nor drinking anything and has been throwing up some green stuff, and she has just sleeping and walking around a bit. She seems to be peeing and pooping normally. Any ideas of what might be wrong? This happened this morning but...
I got a rooster who was very aggressive when he first came, he was 1 year old, so I decided to try to "tame" him a little, what I did was to let him see me more and get used to me and let him know that I'm boss and the kids as well, we held him in our arms for him to get used to us for about 2...

This is my second time with a broody hen but I don't know much still, I have a new hen I got last year and she is broody, I am curious to know if my rooster will peck or be gentle with the chicks when born? Or should I take the roo out and leave the hen (Kia) all alone?
I know this may sound like a funny question but I have a rooster who only hangs out and mates with one hen, and that hen is currently broody, for now, he is with her because he is not bothering her in any way he is just laying close to her. Should I take him out or let him be with the hen? And...
This happened to one of my hens last month, but I think she most likely strained/pulled something. I think it is better to keep her separated from the flock until she recovers. For chickens its 5 aspirin tablets for a gallon of water. It can be given for three days
I have one that looks exactly like she and I always wondered what breed or mix they were, I had gotten 9 of these but sadly during the winter 7 of them died only one of the hens and the mother is left :(
