Hi! I have 7 adult chickens and 3 ten week old chics. The chics want to roost at night with the others but they bully them off of the roosts! What can I do?? Thanks!

scaley leg mites? The leg/foot looks a bit gross because I slathered neosporin all over it

Hi Everyone! Yesterday my 3 year old Silkie Rooster started limping and is now hopping around on 1 leg! Looks like he might possibly have Scaley Leg Mites? Went online and read about treatment with petroleum jelly and olive oil. Soaked his legs/feet in warm water and soap first. While doing...

HI! I have a rooster with the same issue.... did you ever find out what was wrong? kim

Thank you! We will be putting the new coop next to the original one. And I really don't want him to be alone. He is totally fine with the other chickens. I think I will get him a few friends. I'm glad you agree. Thank you for your advice!

She is still laying but is 4 years old now. I have ordered another coop and as soon as it gets here he will be moving into that. I'm worried about him being by himself . Do you think I should get him a friend or 2 ?

I have separated them.

The Rooster is definitely starting the fighting. No one will back down. The hen is a 4 year old buff orpington....much bigger than he. They have been fighting so badly now that I had to take him out of the coop and order a 2nd coop where he will be going. Unfortunately we have a hawk problem and...

Thanks everyone! Sadly, they are still fighting badly, drawing blood and feathers. We have decided that our Rooster must move out and have ordered a 2nd coop. I hate the thought of him being alone. He is fine with everyone else but the head hen. Wondering what your thoughts are on moving him out...

Hi Everyone.... I have a 1 year old bantam cochin frizzle that molted 2 months ago and still has not gotten any new feathers back...she is almost completely hairless. It's been unusually cold here in PA the last few weeks and I'm very worried about her! How long does it take for the new...

I have a 1 year old silkie rooster and 4 four year old hens. All has been well until today. The most dominant hen in my flock viciously attacked my rooster. He then attacked her. Blood was drawn. This attacking went on for hours. I'm beside myself and don't know what to do...will this pass??

Hi... I have a beautiful, sweet, spirited 5 month old Silke rooster in need of a good home. My neighbors are having a fit and I need to re-home. This makes me so sad as I love all of my chickens so much, but am no longer able to keep my one and only rooster. I'm in Pennsylvania not far...

Hi ...I have a 3 year old Buff Orpington chicken that has developed a "cough"....this cough comes and goes....over the last several months. She seems perfectly fine....eating, drinking, active and laying eggs. I have 4 other chickens none have come down with the "cough". I've tried adding ACV to...
