She is doing it when laying in the coop. Once she wouldn’t lay down actually she went to bed standing I think her stomach was too bloated? Should we lay off treats and scraps? Is there a vitamin or something we can give to help
I have a hen open mouth breathing. It’s not hot out right now it was about 74 during the day but at night now about 63 and her mouth is open while she’s laying in the coop. It did rain a lot not sure if that had anything to do with it. Her energy is great and she eats like usual. Any idea why...
I have a flock of 4 hens right now. A speckled Sussex a buff Orpington and 2 bantams. I was wondering if I get a bantam rooster will it mate with the speckled Sussex or only the bantam hens.
Hi I currently just have a flock of 4 backyard chickens 2 of them being bantams. I’m a little worried about getting a rooster with such a small amount of hens and then 2 of them being bantams makes me worry more. Is there a rooster breed that would safely be able to mate and live with just 4...
If I bring a bantam rooster will the bigger hens mate with him? Or will they bully him? I don’t have an incubator yet they occasionally do go broody but will get an incubator just in case. What is my best route to go about.
