Hi there, just wondering if any members on here may give me more suggestions as of what to do. One of my white crested Polish was being attacked by a hawk yesterday and as I ran out, the hawk flew away and left her on the ground. I thought she was just in shock so I just put her in the coop...

I know they are very young, only a week old, but wondering if there are any people experienced with this breed that may have a guess? I bought them as straight run but I am hoping for two females, as I am looking at them, I think one is a male and one is a female. I tried to pick the ones that...

I don’t know what else I can do, but yesterday afternoon my hens tail was pulsing and she was sitting underneath the rosemary bush.

I hope some of you can give me an opinion on my situation. I have seen watery stools for the past couple weeks on the poop board and now I know which chicken is having this white watery diarrhea. I have searched the Internet and I think this is what is going on, but not sure if this may be...

I had a chicken die today, my little Coco. I don’t know what happened, because I had just given them a couple treats and picked up the run before I was going to go surfing. I was only gone 2 1/2 hours and I rushed into the backyard because it was 5:20 pm and usually I let them free range at...

I am just wondering if anybody has any knowledge or experience with a rooster that has been caponized? I really like the appearance of a rooster and have heard that by caponizing them, you take all the bad behaviors and crowing also stops. Is this true? I know most cities do not allow roosters...

I was just wondering if people could share their personal experiences with me about how old their chickens were when they stopped laying. I have looked on the Internet and it basically says that heritage breed chickens lay productively for between 5 to 7 years. Other articles I have read say...

I don’t know if anybody else has had this experience on here, but my chickens combs and wattles seem to be shrinking and getting paler in color. There combs used to be so large and red. Should I be worried? My chickens are 6 1/2 to 7 months old and the two that have noticeably smaller combs and...

I wake up today to the rain which I love! It was just a sprinkle, so I let my chickens out of their run and they got soaking wet and muddy! I had to give some of them baths and blow drys. They were upset because they had to spend the day in their run and they raised such a commotion about the...
