Hello everyone! My frizzle bantam decided to go broody at a year old. We decided to let her try and hatch some eggs as long as she was just sitting around. I stopped by a small farm that had a sign for eggs and asked if they had any bantam hatching eggs. The older lady walked to her coops and...

I bought two Buff Orpingtons from Agway. After viewing other posts I'm wondering if the gold one is a roo. Anybody care to give an opinion? The gold one is about four weeks old and the I'm guessing by the late feathering that the white one is three weeks. I'll try and show the comb and waddles...

My three month old Cuckoo Maran is losing tail feathers and has blood on the quills. The quills are left in her but the feathers are gone. Since she is the largest bird in the flock, I don't think other hens are pulling them out. Is there any disease or parisite that would make her pull her own...

Does anyone use mulch in thier run? I understand the use of sand and hay for drainage but I have access to free shredded mulch through the township. Would the mulch be too hard on thier feet or not drain enough water? Reading other posts, I wonder if sand is easier to clean than changing out the...

Does anyone know if six week old EE's will "imprint" or become friendly to new owners? The chicks we ordered for my daughter just hatched but we will not be getting them for six weeks. We are concerned that the chicks will not be as friendly as what we read about here in the forums. I know...

I hope this is the correct forum for this question. I am planning on raising two Easter Eggers in our suburban neighborhood. Could someone tell me how much smell and noise I could expect with two birds? I am often told that chickens smell, are noisy and make a mess with thier poop. I do hope to...

The Chicken Project Starts! My 9 year old daughter has been begging for a pet chicken ever since our trip to Tractor Supply. At first I was hesitant but she is a great kid who always thinks of others first so I had a hard time telling her no. I'm still in the research phase trying to get all...
