    Wondering if one of my roosters has worms and what is the best treatment option for worms. I am assuming my rooster has worms b/c he is occasionally stretching his neck and opening his beak wide. He is also my oldest chicken I have, so would like to make sure I take good care of him. Any advice...

    I currently have 9 chickens. 4 are a year old and 5 are 3 months old. I plan on getting some more in the future and I was just wondering if you recommend me getting chicks that are unvaccinated. I know this differs but my question is... are chickens over 15 weeks who have not been vaccinated...

    i ask this because i need to cut down on the number of hens i have since i only have the one rooster (1roo - 9hens. fertility has been about 60%.)

    In the first year of our marriage, Dear Husband received this hen-scratch conception in a love letter that proposed we build a coop sometime next year. He got it done much sooner than I had anticipated! Our house and property (home built in 1949) included two garden sheds that were used as...
