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...
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!
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

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 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!
