I have two broody hens who have managed to hatch 3 chicks out of 7 eggs. All seems fine, they make great tag team mothers. The three chicks were doing just fine when I checked them this afternoon. I went back out to check on them and one of the little chicks was laying in the middle of the...

I have a broody hen for the first time. I have noticed her behind is caked in stinky broody poop. Can I take her off her nest and clean her? Or should I leave her be?

Our girls have been laying really well, and we just hatched quite few...I thought I would see if anyone would like some of these eggs to hatch! The listing would be $2 per egg + shipping. Let me know if anyone is interested! I also have a few bantam white silkie eggs.

We just got a silkie hen, I was giving them a bath and I noticed on the bottom of her feet it looked like one of her toes had been sliced in half...and there is a few sores on the bottom of her feet. Yesterday I soaked her feet and was able to scrape the scab off the bottom. I cleaned the...

I am in search of Black Bantam Cochin hatching eggs, or a Rooster! Also, interested in any Frizzles!

I have my Rooster inside healing from frostbite. He is pacing and crowing...he seems so sad and misses his girls. Quite frankly he is driving me insane. He is now trying to woo and dance for the cat. Should I bring a hen in to keep him company? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I have a 10 month old Buff Orpington hen that I think is maybe sick. I go out to the barn several times a day to check on (and talk to) my birds ;) and I noticed she was poofed up in the corner and wasn't coming over to eat scratch, which is WEIRD for any of my birds. So I went and sat by...

I set my first set of eggs on the 29th of August. I set 13 eggs, which I gathered from my hens within 5 days of putting them into a stable incubator. My first two chicks hatched on the 20th and 21st day. (I counted my setting day, as day 1) Once they were dry, I put them into the brooder...

Just got my incubator in the mail and I set 13 eggs. This is my first hatch!!!

We have a rooster that sounds like he has a frog in his throat. I noticed that if I massage his crop and it seems to make it a little worse, gurgle wise. He seems to have bouts of sneezing quite a bit now too. No runny nose or eyes. He has been eating, drinking, and doing his normal rooster...

Any thoughts on his breed would be greatly appreciated!

Just wondering your thoughts on what our new guys mix of breeds may be.

My Isa Brown Hens are just now 20 weeks old. They have been doing the whole squatting with their wings back for the past week or so. I let them out this morning and they came running out like normal. I have went out this afternoon to do some yard work and noticed that one of my hens is...

My babes are 4 weeks old on Monday! During the day the temp in the garage where the brooder is gets pretty hot. The temp I have been trying to maintain currently is between 75-80 in the brooder. It is just after 12 noon and the brooder temp is at 86.2 degrees and will continue to rise as we...

Brought my girls into my home office...they really liked walking and pecking the keyboard. Look where they landed.

I just got our first ever baby chicks. They are 6 days old today...Isa Browns. They are in their brooder in our garage. I keep going out every 5 minutes to check on them...because they are so little and fragile I am such a nervous wreck. I just love them to pieces. Here is a picture...I am...
