Today I came home and my partridge Cochin bantam hen was just sitting in a corner a little fluffed up and closing her eyes. I think she is sick, she breathes hard when I pick her up but not with her mouth open.
I don't know what is wrong with her what should I do?
I know :P
That reminds me she did mount one of my hens two years ago. She doesn't do it anymore. I want her to like my Cochin rooster Huckleberry so I can have purebred babies in the spring but she just picks on him and won't let him mate her.
She likes my brahma rooster pumpkin though.
Ha ha, :P No, I've had a hen crow before, she only did it for a day or two then she didn't crow again. Hens can turn into roosters but usually that's when there are no roosters around. I have two.
I am keeping marshmallow seperate from the other chickens because she is molting and I want her...
I am not 100% sure, I got her February 2015 and at that time I think she was a pullet, she could've been a hen. But right now I think she was a pullet when I got her.
So she is... 2 or 3 years old?
Also I edited my first post, now there is a video.
This morning as I was leaving the coop I heard what sounded like a young cockerel learning to crow coming from inside the coop. At first I thought it was my young rooster Huckleberry but him and my only other rooster Pumpkin were both outside.
So I went in the coop to see who it was and it was...
