Hi everyone, I'm new here & just wanted to introduce myself. I have an indoor chicken named Mo. She's mostly blind & lives in the house all the time. She gets out of her cage when we're home from work. She doesn't wander around too much because of her blindness, but I'm hoping that will change...

I have a 1 year old Golden Polish hen that started laying eggs about one month ago. Recently there has been blood on her eggs. Does anyone know what causes this?

Our bantam year old hens are hatching chicks. We watched as one began hatching this morning & when we returned to it the poor little one was laying on the wood chips while the hens ignored it. There was blood in the shell & the chick did not seem to be breathing. Now for the really awful part-I...

Many thanks to everyone who replied. When my husband found her he immediately dangeled her feet in cool water, set her down in the cool grass & tried to get her to drink. I soaked a big t shirt & wrapped her in that. She feels cooler now than she did, but I've got her in a cage & she will drink...

One of our 16 week old Golde Polish hens is terribly over heated. She's limp as a dish rag. We've got her in the cool grass but don't know what else to do. Please help!

Thanks everyone. Yup, my hen to roo ratio is really bad-4 bantam roos & 6 bantam hens; a turken roo, a red star hen, & a black star hen. Now 3 turken chicks (only 1 is a hen), a white rock hen, & 4 Golden Polish chicks (how do you tell what they are?). They're all pets & though I dislike the...

My roosters are so aggressive with the hens that some days I'd like to kill them! But, nasty as they are, they are pets. Can I put all 6 of them in a separate pen? Of the 8 chicks I bought this spring, at least 2 are roos-they've already started attacking the bantam hens.Please help!:cd

Please help, my turken roo was the last chicken added to our flock last year when he was still very young . Now that everyone' s a year old he' still being picked on by all tthe roos & the turkeys. I got some turken chicks but he just bit one of thrm hard enough to draw blood. Will he continue...

I have a 1 year old bantam brahma cochin rooster who was in a terrible fight with another bantam rooster on Sunday. His eyes were pecked at? One eye was swollen shut, but the other eye was open & it appeared to be working. Today I found him huddled behind a house in the pen, both eyes shut. I...

It's been below zero here :(in Helena, but all 8 turkeys, 2 star hens, & 10 bantam chickens are fine. But this morning as I was watering the birds I got a good look at Turkin & saw his comb had turned black. Has it been frozen? If that' s the case, why are all my others just fine?

Hi from Helena. It's 30 degrees here, with below zero temps expected this weekend. Does everyone keep their coops heated? Ours isn't,

Thanks to all who responded! Our smallest hen is a mille fleur (sorry if I spelled that wrong). Then there are 4 cochin bantams, & a silver seabright. I guess I should mention that all our birds are pets, and the eggs are just a bonus. Second question, though. Our bantams were hatched in April...

Hi everyone! I'm actually a returning member & I have a question. We have turkeys, a turke rooster, a red star hen, a black star hen, 4 bantam roosters & 6 bantam hens. The question is how many bantam eggs equal one large chicken egg? Thanks in advance for your help!
