    Pullet is just standing there

    Sounds like she's in shock or grieving. I lost 4 hens to a neighbor's dog and my 3 surviving hens did almost the same thing as your pullet. For several days they just stayed in the coop/run not making a sound and hardly moved at all, my rooster had his eyes closed most of the time. It was...

    Not spraddle leg, but what else can it be?

    I had six chicks hatch on Wednesday, all are thriving in their brooder, except I noticed that one chick scoots on it's belly. It's legs are underneath as if it's resting, it can move them, but it doesn't walk, it just scoots as it flaps its wings. I noticed that it's off balance and the joints...

    Review by '' on item 'Polish'

    I enjoy the Crested Polish, they have a sweet personality with a gentle disposition. Mine are quite docile, allowing me to pick them up with no hassles. Due to the large crest on their heads, they have poor or limited vision, I find myself trimming the feathers on their crest back every couple...

    Suet Blocks?

    I give my flock suet blocks but I buy the one in high fat for winter and the berry one for summer, which I crumble and mix in their scratch. They seem to eat all of it, it took a couple of tries but once the hen in highest pecking order started to eat it, then they all wanted it. With winter...

    How long have you been keeping Chickens?

    I talk to the chickens all the time and many of them hold incomprehensible discussions with me. Here I'm saying, "Hey, sweetie, how are you today? You've got a feather sideways, did you know that?" And the hen in question goes, "Bok? Bok bok bok. Bok. Bok bok." If I'm busy, somebody will...

    Quote: I've got on BR in "training", she watches all the other girls lay eggs, but the alpha hen will raise a fuss if the BR watches her

    screaming/screeching hen !?!?

    Quote: Hey! I've got her twin living with our flock! She will ALWAYS rush to the patio door when she sees us come out, she'll trample over others to be the first to get a treat. She'll also make a cooing sound at the door begging for treats when the others are all free ranging. If I'm...
