    Hen might be a rooster.

    We recently got two hens for my lonely rooster, and they have finally gotten alone and seem very happy together. The two new ones are silkies, or at least one is. The other seems to be mixed with Silkie since she has the extra toes and everything. But, this mixed one might be a rooster. And...

    Chickens slowly dying off one by one

    Hello. So I have a head scratcher of a situation. Last fall one of my Vorwerk hens who at the time was 6 months old, started acting more dull than the rest of my flock. No other symptoms noted. She never got any worse, was always the same dullness you could say. She eventually passed in her...

    Broody Hen that killed chicks, do we try again?

    We had a broody hen but she killed one of the chicks after hatching. We removed the rest of the eggs and transferred to the incubator but didn’t have much luck. She’s still super broody - can I give her another chance to hatch/mother a clutch of eggs? Or is it once a killer always a killer? Help!
