    Hen with spurs?

    One of my polish hens seems to have spurs. They both face inward and kinda bump into each other. Am I wrong here is this normal for a hen. My other hens don't have them. Do I need to manage them at all?

    Should i help with keratin sheathes in this cold weather?

    Hey all! Thanks in advance for any help. So it's starting to get cold around here. Like 20s at night. One of my hens crest fathers all melted and the new feathers just will not break through the keratin sheathed at all. To the point where her head isn't being protected at all I feel like. Now...

    Broody hen causing exaustion

    Okay got it. Hey do you guys think there's any truth to the whole "dunking them in cold water" to lower there temp and that fixing them quickly. Lots of people swore by that and it seems a lot easier. But I just don't believe it

    Broody hen causing exaustion

    Hi guys and gals. Been a while since I have had a question for the pros but boy am I in a frustrating, and tiresome pickle. My golden laced polish girl who's about 18 mo old has gone broody. It's so rare in polish but she's done it. Here's the problem. I am in a heat wave. She go's up there...

    No words can describe the joy hotdogs bring my flock

    CLUELESS.... and worried

    Thanks everyone. Today I wrapped her in a towel and took the same tool that was used in the article you all recommended I read, and barely teased the tip of the curve down. Tommorrow I will repeat. She behaved and was very patient with me.

    CLUELESS.... and worried

    They have complete freedom and she does do that on the porch. The others as well. It looks more like she's cleaning off her beak than filing it. But needless to say she has the means and freedom to do this bit it doesn't seem to be working maybe. The picture is tough but if you zoom in it's...

    My hen has completely changed into a trouble maker

    No my barred rock is the lead however she's the only one that won't listen to the barred rock. And she will stand up to the barred rock when she tries to assert dominate over food. It's so funny to see the lead hen doing her thing bossing the others around but then she gets to my problem polish...

    My hen has completely changed into a trouble maker

    No she still go's nuts if I'm wearing something she doesn't like. Boots tend to keep her more calm. Buy flip flops are off limits. She has layed tho finally. I kinda just gently kick her away or stand up to her and she will slowly wander away. But if my back is turned she will charge. Since...
