    Separate Rooster

    Has anyone ever kept a rooster completely separate from the hens? I introduced a 20 week old black Australorp rooster to my 8- 4 yo hens and he was doing great. It's been about a month he's been with them. Usually does the kittle wing dance for them to "ask permission". I have been introducing...

    Is George Stressed?

    George is my smallest baby, one of two OEGBs in my little flock, and never wants anything to do with running after treats or me holding them. Also, he doesn’t often lay with his peers. I’ve had them for 5 days now, could s/he still be stressed from the new environment? Or perhaps s/he is at the...

    Because I loved her

    A lone survivor after Marek’s

    Hello all, we used to have 5 chickens, and 4 chickens died due to Marlek’s disease. We have one chicken now, and we don’t know what to do. She’s lonely, squawks a lot, and we have been advised not to get more, since she’s now a carrier and the disease is in the soil. We tried giving her stuffed...

    Only one quail chick. What to do?

    Well out of my 24 eggs only one hatched. I think I know what happened, as at one point I thought my eggs had gotten too cold in storage and that is why there is such a low hatch rate, but now I am wondering what else to do. I have the 1 quail in the brooder box now with mashed up food and a...
