    so I was recently given two chicks from my neighbors to add to my flock, they seem about 7 or 8 weeks old so I know they're okay outside but my 3 BR and 2 RIR seem to be bullying my little white one. When should I draw the line? Cayse they're already pulling tail feathers and it's barely day...

    Rhode island reds not growing

    I bought a few rhode islands a while back and they haven't been growing as much as I would have expected them to...

    Just a Picture

    This is my (hopefully) girl, Penny. She is the only one who actually seems to like me-- she tries to fly out of the brooder to get to me and likes sitting on my shoulder. Just wanted to share because she is adorable.

    Rhode island red rooster lameness

    Hi My rhode island red rooster about 5 months old has one leg lame, it is usually lying down and walks crisscrossing. Should i cull the rooster? I have tried giving multivitamins and provide calcium supplements, but no improvement. It seems to get worse as the rooster gains more weight growing up.

    Feed

    Hey there! I read an article a while ago about feeding laying hens grower feed with oyster shells/eggshells on the side instead of layer crumble because layer feed lacks the animal proteins needed for chickens to thrive as well as all-around diversity. I read that laying hens do best on 20%...
