    Rooster is way to aggressive with hens!!

    Hello everyone, my rooster has been recently aggressive with my 3 hens when it comes to mating. I found out to buy a saddle for them and it's coming in 2 days! But the problem is I'm not sure if it will fit on my leghorn and will my leghorn like it? I know that one of my easter eggers will...

    Leghorn hen broody or not?!!

    Hello everyone, I have 4 cute chickens and one of them "Smiley" (Leghorn) acts like she is broody but I'm not quite sure though. It's very rare for leghorns to be broody from what I know. She has been clucking a little and puffing her feathers out whenever I come close to her, BUT she does NOT...

    Chicken spies

    Hello everyone! About a year ago I had a flock of 25 chickens including 24 hens and 1 fine gentlemen. A few hens got sick and we expected that so then we were down to about 20. A few months later we found out that a snake got into the coop and suffocated about 5 hens leaving us down to 15. We...

    Is this Bumblefoot? How can I cure it?

    I recently saw my sister's chicken, Beb, limping around. I picked her up and checked her foot to see some sort of 'scab'. It might be bumblefoot, but since I'm a new chicken owner, this is my first case of whatever this is. Based on basic images, I can't decide whether it is or not, and what to...

    Chicken Acting Lethargic and Sick

    A couple of hours ago, I went outside to feed our chickens and noticed one of them was lying in the middle of the run with her head tucked underneath her wing. I didn’t think much of it because of how cold it’s been (around 0°F). When the chickens noticed the food, they all chased me around...

    Can anyone tell me what this disease is?

    Please let us know what this is and what we can give her. So far we are isolating her, feeding her medicated food. She is still eating in the yard, but her eyes are closed. She is walking funny-feet swollen. Poor thing. Someone said atheletes powder, but not sure if it would help

    Mink Chasing After My Chicken

    Today I heard squawking coming from my free range chickens outside, and going out to look I saw what looked like a ferret chasing after one of my chickens while the other one stood still and squawked for help. It was either a mink or a weasel, I’m unsure, but I’m leaning toward mink. When I came...
