Has anyone else had problems with their Buckeye Rooster's nails cutting their hens? I don't know if he is just too big or heavy for the hens or what. Even though his nails didn't seem sharp to me I used a Dremel tool to round them out so they are not sharp at all. I had to separate the rooster...

Can someone look at pictures of our game chickens and see what you think? We rescued them when they were left behind by a neighbor. I just want to know what they are breed/class whatever you call it. We have had chickens for just a year so we are still learning. This rooster is just coming...

I know this is a rooster but is this an Easter Egger? He has green legs/feet and a beard but he has a rose comb. I've been told that Easter Eggers have pea combs so I'm a bit confused over his breeding.

We have been taking care of several Gamefowl that were left behind by a neighbor. They were turned out to fully free range at about 6 weeks old by the neighbor. After the people moved the chickens started staying around our home in and around our plum trees. Because of the season change and the...

I believe this is a Game chicken but not sure if it is an Old English or American. I would also like to know if this is a Roo or Pullet. I have no idea the age of the chicken.

Let me start by saying, raising chickens is very new to us so I have tried to find as much as possible about how to do what is right for our chickens. The weather for our area was supposed to put the temps at 61 for the low but I noticed the coop temp was 54 this morning and then I heard one of...

I purchased 6 chicks from our local TSC a little over 3 weeks ago and am trying to figure out what breed two of them are from. The sign on their bin at TSC just said Black Pullets. When I first got them at about 3 to 4 day old chicks Cinnamon had the brown head and Raven had a little white on...

We are new to keeping chickens and are about to start building our coop and run. We want to put the walk-in coop up off the ground to allow the chickens to go underneath the coop for added run space. So we need to know how tall are adult chickens? We will have Buff Orpington, Cochin, RIR, EE...

I have been giving my chicks the same food for 2 weeks Durmor & Manna Pro Chick feed mixed together and they have been fine. Yesterday they finally discovered the bottle with the brooder nipple waterer and have been constantly playing with it. The bottle had probiotics for chicks mixed in the...

After seeing that some people use plastic dish pans in their nesting boxes I purchase 6 in red to use when my chicks get older and start laying. My son-in-law saw the dish pans and said that he heard you shouldn't use anything red because chickens will want to eat or peck the eggs. Is this true...

If you have used the Brooder Bottle Caps that fit on the soda bottles in your brooder could you please show me how you got it to hang/mount/or did you have a stand to hold it? I tried hanging mine from two sides with wire and it keeps tilting. Please help, I need ideas.
