    The naked hen and the one who might be confused.

    9 already dead not sure why

    Hello, I will start this off by saying this is NOT my flock, but a friends. I told her I would reach out here to get some opinions. She started off by telling me that she had a hen that she thought had sour crop and she gave it ACV and it died in the process. A few days later she was...

    Released a Roo in a coop with broody hen

    It was just fine!! She couldn’t see him during the day but he was sleeping with her in her box every night! :) very cute I will say at the time of releasing I did have a head honcho hen who was not ready to let go of pecking order and was protective of the flock so I’m sure that helped. I...

    The age old question

    Also. I will keep the gal who tried to attack and monitor that behavior. If she still behaves like this I will do something about it. I have had a hen who was like this before and just very wild. And she tainted my flock with her poor behavior. Everyone seemed to pick up on it and be naughty. So...

    The age old question

    Is this a cockerel or pullet? I was told by someone it’s a hen, but it did attack me, and that behavior made me suspicious. I got this one march 4th… In the saddle and neck area I see some curve and some point. I’m just very back and forth some indicators of hen and some of roo. I’m...

    What is on her beak?

    I am in the poultry group, however I raise my own quail who are genetically strong so I’m pretty stoked on that! She did end up dying, like the rest of the quail from that breeder. 😞 I have some on the incubator so I have that to look forward to Edit: I will say that it’s for the best as...

    Mostly Males?

    I know we all love the classic what gender is this post. And here I am to deliver. I bought these what were supposed to be pullets back in the beginning of March . I have them all labeled A - E I’m getting a little better but wanted to double check with figuring this out. My guess A ...

    What is on her beak?

    So I just called the place I purchased them from and they said they use the same breeder (which I knew) and they have not gotten any other complaints. But ALL of the ones I have gotten have died and mine that I breed are fine. I will say they did not come from a farm store

    What is on her beak?

    I have this one quail who has something going on with her mouth and beak. Her beak looks chipped on top and has a bump on the bottom. I feed her like a game bird feed. This is the 3rd quail I have gotten from this specific breeder and they have all died randomly. The ones I have had and raised...

    Released a Roo in a coop with broody hen

    I guess this isn’t really even an issue. My hens are actually trying to a beat him up instead. So 🤷‍♀️. I guess that’s an uno reverse on the situation

    Released a Roo in a coop with broody hen

    She already started being broody. So if I move her will she still sit on the eggs in a new setup?

    Released a Roo in a coop with broody hen

    I can, but with the price of chicks and hatching eggs, I’m trying to get him to breed with my available hands so I can have more chicks because I haven’t really been able to get any this year

    Released a Roo in a coop with broody hen

    Hey guys! So I have a rooster I have been trying to integrate into a flock. He is on his first day and doing well. However I realized during this process, he’s been released into a coop with a broody hen that he has never seen and she has never seen him. Is this going to be an issue? Will he...
