Thinking one is a friendly roo and one a very sweet little hen. I've got as many hens as I can handle and I cannot have a roo without sending my neighbors on a witch hunt! Lafayette, CA

Clip their wings! They won't be able to fly over a three foot tall section of chicken wire. Only problem would be if the neighbor doesn't put them somewhere safe at night they won't be able to get into trees.

how often do eggs need to be turned? how long will it take for serama chicken eggs to hatch?

we have 4 five week old chicks and 3 1 year old chickens. Can we put them all out side together?or will the older chickens attack the babies

Thanks for the reply. I think I won't even try it. She's mean as a devil to me when I make her move in the morning!

Our little cohin got louder and much more frequent with his crowing as soon as he discovered that he could. We controled the crowing in the morning by putting him in a dog crate in a dark garage with a blanket over him until about 8:30 am. At that point I figured he could crow away - and he...

our baby got louder and more often extremely quikly

My 10 month old bramha has been sitting on an empty nest for a week. We gently 'sweep' her out to make her eat and drink every morning but she runs back into the coop as soon as we reopen it. There are 3 hens that lay there and we collect the unfertile eggs daily. Now I have 5 little banam...

I love the fertile egg idea but I cannot end up with a rooster. My neighbors freaked when my little cohin pullet grew into a crowing roo. He was great but I did end having to rehome him. Rehoming a roo here is next to impossible! I had to drive two hours to meet someone who could take him...

I have a bramha hen - about 10 months old that is sitting on a the spot where 2 of my other hen lay (rod island and a white leghorn). The brahma used to lay in the same spot until she stopped laying. The other two keep laying next to the bramha who then sits on their (unfertile) eggs and...

She did show up to eat and drink. She was very crafty about not being followed. Who would have known they have it in them! I finally found her nest tucked way back under a shed -tighter fit than I thought possible. She'd been sitting on 14 eggs! We caught her and put her in the shed because...

we just adopted our fourth chicken and we have room for one more but i want to make sure that i get one that is nice and wont peck at my heels do you know of any breeds that are better than other?

And what if the eggs are not fertile and never hatch? How long until she catches on?

I'm sure my little americana has gone broody. We haven't found one of her eggs in a couple of weeks and today she disappeared. Our yard is not that big and we've look everywhere! She's certainly found a good hiding place. I'm worried about whether she'll come in at night - we have coons and...

When do roosters begin to crow?? we have a pullet who is a bantan cross (we are not sure exactley what kinds) and it is 4 months old andjust started crowing and we dont want a rooster!!!

Thank you guys so much for your help!!! IT WORKED I expected to have to isolate her of a week or two but it only took a couple of days

Daisy is about 10 or 11 months and is a barred rock*** for a while she has been laying eggs the size of goose eggs and now she has some sort of cherry sized bloody "ball" hanging out of her butt she is also missing many feathers around that area what should i do? I looked to see if this happend...

I have 4 chickens but only 2 are old enough to lay, the first one that started laying was Bell and for some reason she barly ever stays in the same place so I tried putting a golf ball in the coop but she now wont go near it so I tried locking her in the coop and she paces back and forth and...

I am new to the whole chicken thing but I was reading and it said that most chickens lay one egg a day is that true?

Thank you all so much for helping me out and amazingly she just started laying today!!! Thanks again!!
