I have a 2 yr old English Orpington roo that I'm pretty sure has an ear infection. He wobbles when he lowers and raises his head, won't jump on roost and is not doing his manly duty. This has been going on for months and none of my others have been affected. I have about 50. My question is. ...
Is it possible to change the PM posts where the last message shows on the Top of the list ? The way it is now you have to scroll to the bottom, which isn't a big issue unless you exchange a LOT of PM's with a particular member. Should be like e-mail where the most recent message is at the top.

Very new to chickens. Got my first 5 in December 2013 when i moved on to an acre and a half in the country. Never in my wildest dreams did i ever think i would cry over a danged ole chicken but man o man. When i lost my first rooster, Benny the banty roo, i cried like i had just lost one of the...
Someone PLZ tell me is this a roo or hen? I have been watching him/her/it for a few weeks now and one minute it's a roo and the next it does a chicken mating dance for one I KNOW is a hen. Sigh. . . plz advise.
This little pullet was hatched for the Easter hatch a long so she is just over 2 months old. Almost from the time she started feathering out she has been getting more and more naked. I have tried having "the talk" with her but. . . . . . . . Seriously tho, i don't know what's going on. I have...
I didn't set out to breed, i just wanted eggs and chicks every now and then. But my little flock had other ideas.
My Easter Egger roo has crossed my D'Uccle hen.
And these are what i get.
The black and white splash ones are my Easter D'Uccles, lol, and the other 2 are just regular...
I have an Easter Egger roo and hen that i got from the same place. There were a bunch in a big cabinet incubator. My problem is almost every chick i hatch has crooked toes and or splay leg. I know i have a good roo cause he also crosses a D'Uccle bantam and makes beautiful healthy babies. My hen...
I think there should be a thread like "ask the experts". That way we can post questions and the people with the most experience can answer or give opinions or advice. Just an idea.
I have an egg in my incubator that i candled today, day16, and it seems to be developing but i can see liquid when i turn it when candling. It's almost like it got water in it. It's only a little bit, just enough for me to see it. Any ideas ?
My chick that is half bantam was cold and lonely(my heat lamp bulb broke) and VERY vocal about it. It kept running up under a couple older chicks and trying to get under their wings, lol. I used an empty icing cup and folded a paper towel and rolled it on the inside then put a black sock around...
I have an EE hen and roo. Recently hatched (in bator) a leghorn/EE mix. So, my white leghorn roo has been busy. Will have to lock the windows and doors. lol How long before my hen quits laying with any trace of the leghorn ? I want EE's not mixed.
This is my first time ordering eggs to hatch in my incubator. Have hatched 2 successfully from my own hen. When i receive my eggs should i put them in the incubator immediately or wait a day or what is the best way to maximize my chances of a successful hatch ? Any info appreciated.
Need some help. If anyone knows what kind of chickens these are i would appreciate u sharing this info with me. I am chicken ignorant. #1 and #4 are bantams and thats all i know.
My first chick hatched in my DIY incubator came in to the world just as pretty as u plz. Only about 6 hours from pipping to hatch. But one of his feet the claws are turned under and he walks on it like that. They will straighten out if i pick him up and run my finger under his foot and...
