    Problems with Roo attacking a hen

    I am new to roos but have some older hens as well...2.5. My roo (I have two, but only one that has come into his own so far) is just getting his spurs and feeling rather 'randy' lately...I have watched him quite a bit and with most hens, he does his business and leaves them alone. I just caught...

    How do I manage a pieced together flock?

We have some that are around a week old now, am getting some day olds tomorrow possibly, some week olds at the end of the week and new babies...

    Wanting to shake up my flock a bit...not sure how to go about it.

    Quick history, I have a 100% blind chicken...we love her to death. She is so sweet and thinks she's human. I have a RIR that she was raised with. When they first started laying (they are 10 months old now), the RIR started pecking at the blind one. Would come across the yard specifically to give...

    Yet another feather loss question

    No, it's not In a place where other chickens can peck really. I watch them pretty close and haven't seen any doing any pecking. I have a blind chicken and I have to keep a close eye On her so by default, I watch all of them. They free range in my small backyard nearly all day long so it's...

    Yet another feather loss question

    I looked through the past threads on feather loss, but mine doesn't fit in any other category so far. My girls are about 10.5 months old and are great layers. They had fowl pox about 2 months ago but are better now. My girls (no roo and not any that are particularly bossy) are loosing feathers...

    Very dirty chicken-found a worm. Help!!! Added pictures

    I did a search before I posted but didn't find much. She pooped in my tub and it looked normal and there were no worms in it. Just that one in her feathers that could have been from my garden. The only thing now is that her down on the bottom half of her body is very dirty despite her bath. I'll...

    Very dirty chicken-found a worm. Help!!! Added pictures

    Ok, I just finished with her. I def. think something is wrong. Her feathers won't clean. I got most of the dirt off but they still don't look good. The color is off and she's skinny I think (I need to go out and pick up the other buff for comparison). They are going on 4 months old by the way...

    Very dirty chicken-found a worm. Help!!! Added pictures

    I have pictures, but I can't post them right this second. Quick history...it has been raining and raining....complete downpours with several inches of rain every day. My chicken coop has been a muddy mess. My husband has done everything he can to divert water. They DO have a dry place to go...

    Newly hatched chick. NO EYES! **UPDATE 1-31-12** SHE LAYED!!!!!!!!

    My blind one (the one in my avatar) was probably 2 weeks old before I was sure she would make it. She was a month old before she started thriving...not sleeping all the time, etc. She is still not as brightly colored as the other barred rocks...her comb and her face barely has any color in it...

    Newly hatched chick. NO EYES! **UPDATE 1-31-12** SHE LAYED!!!!!!!!

    I have a blind Barred Rock. It took me a few days after we got her home to realize it. She was VERY sleep at first. I even posted about her here. I didn't think she would make it past a few days. I had to hand feed her for a while. Soon though, she thrived. She is about 3 months old now and is...

    "Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

    Possibly need help the Forest Hill, Woodworth, Indian creek area. I have a call in to the park ranger to ask about the chickens in a dog kennel when we evacuate. I hope they approve it, but if they don't, I need to be making other plans. I will have 6 7 week olders (one is a rooster and will go...

    Quote: Well if for some reason you all do have to evacuate and you don't want to haul your chicks with you I have an extra pen and run right now and you would be welcome to drop them off here and pick them up when y'all head back home. (Free of charge) I am up I-55 in Kentwood. Harry Wow...
