I received this boy as a gift. I don’t know anything about the Columbian gene and there doesn’t appear to be many Columbian Bantam Cochins. Should I try and find a Columbian girl? Or possibly breed him with the other Cochins I have? ( mottled, black, calico) Not really sure where to go from...

Serama got his wattle all torn up. It looks split on one side, but not all the way thru. Would it be best to keep it clean and apply meds and let nature do it’s thing, or is this a case where it should be trimmed off?

Yesterday, he was totally fine. Came out this morning and he is like this. Neck going to side as well. Doing nutridrench and electrolytes now. What could this be?

2 week old won’t put pressure on the foot. No visible cuts or wounds. I thought a slipped tendon but didn’t know if the swelling in the foot would be a result of that too? I’m gonna try wrapping it and keeping her in her own little area in the brooder to restrict movement . In wrapping, leg...

How does a hen react if she were to hatch chicks/poults and then I were to take them from her to raise inside? Do they get stressed by this or do they just carry on their business ?

How do you all make your stock or bone broth with your carcass? I guess I’m not straining it enough at the end? I love to sip on bone broth but anytime over tried to make it, it’s gross 🤢 help!

I’m thinking this is a roo but it seems a little darker than most….. what ya think?

We have a frost advisory for tonight, temps in 60’s to low 70’s the next few days. I have eggs under a broody hatching any minute. Should I bring her inside or trust her to keep them warm? Lows are upper 30’s just for tonight then 40’s and 50’s the rest of the week…… I’m stressing 😑😑😑

Last weekend we culled our “head” rooster and another younger rooster who really hadn’t developed yet. The whole flock dynamic changed instantly. Stanley was a great protector, but he was so big and mated so aggressively my girls were losing their feathers. He had his moments, but wasn’t...

When you let your bird rest for a few days in the fridge, do you cover it? Or just leave it open? I’m about to do my first one and I think that’s the only question I have left! :)

Any tips, tricks, hacks you guys have for helping cut spillage and waste when feeding my fermented feed/mash? My picky flock loves to scratch it all on the ground and then won’t eat it .... ugh..... but I can’t seem to think of a way to feed this type of feed with no waste! thanks!

If you sell your eggs, Do you wash them immediately after getting them out of the coop? Or right before you sell them?

The hatchery sent two of the wrong breed so I have these two mystery chicks! They hatched Aug9. I thought Buff Orpingtons first but now that some feather growth is happening, I’m not so sure! Any guesses?

Hi y’all! If you ferment your feed, what containers are you using? What’s your process? I’m trying to be more efficient here..... I’m currently using 64oz mason jar, straining half of it at a time into another container and then pouring the water back in. I want to upgrade to a bigger...

I wrote Hoover’s asking about the California Tans from TSC since there is such limited info about them! This was their response..... a cross between a White Leghorn and a Production Red.

I have 2 3-week-old Welsummers. I’m thinking my Rose may be a Ross 🤣. First two pics are Rose/Ross Second two pics are the other girl. Thoughts? Pics arent the greatest, they never sit still!
