I recently acquired one baby chicken she was rescued from the neighborhood stray cats. I have a flock, but they are all older. I have decided to keep her, but I am worried about raising her alone and how she will later adjust to the flock. I read raising them alone causes problems when...
My grandmother found a baby check at her house. The neighborhood cats were trying to kill it and she brought it to me at first I thought it was a bird but then I realized it was a Chicken. Am I going to have problems raising it alone? I do have 7 adult hens and 1 rooster. None of my hens are...

I was sitting down with the hens and him. They usually come sit on my lap to be pet but they didn’t want to that day. Now that I am think maybe it was my hair like my roosters tail when he flares it or something. Maybe he got scared or something or maybe it is his raging hormones. Either way he...
