We're well accustomed to raising Jumbo Cornish Cross and decided to add Freedom Rangers this year. Some questions about them. Do they have the manure load like Jumbo Cornish Cross? After brooding, can they be free fed or does their feed need to be regulated like the Jumbo Cornish Cross?

I have a 1 1/2 yr old Buff Orpington hen that has a seriously swollen right hock. It obviously hurts her as she will not put any weight on it unless she has to. She prefers to spend her time in the nest box so she doesn't have to use the leg. Originally, I thought she had a sprain, but after a...

We have 30 Jumbo Cornish X chicks arriving this week. Last year we had a break out early on of coccidiosis and lost several birds before we got it under control. I had Corid and treated for a week straight. This year we purchased Purina medicated chick feed to help prevent it from even taking...

We have 2 roos and are starting to have problems. Looking to rehome free of charge our purebred Black Americauna. He was hatched in March 2020 and was vaccinated for Merek's. He's big but gentle. We'd like him to go to a good home where he's spoiled and can have his own group of girls. We're...

Are we able to post rehoming requests on forums? We have a roo we need to rehome and are struggling to find a place.

We have 2 roosters and 16 hens. One rooster is an Oliver Egger who is 3 years old (hatched in 2018) and the other rooster is a Black Americauna who just turned 1 (hatched 2020). Up until now the two roosters got along, with the Olive Egger being the main dominant rooster. Just this week, we...

Introduced our almost 8 week old chicks to the rest of the flock which consists of 1 rooster and 12 hens. The adults didn't care or bother the 8 new chicks when they were put together. However, the chicks stayed huddled together and completely separate from the adult birds. At bedtime, had to...

After doing a flock check, discovered 2 of our birds had severe bumblefoot. Both birds are 1 1/2 years old. After doing some research, a friend suggested we follow the instructions from The Chicken Chick for treatment. https://the-chicken-chick.com/bumblefoot-causes-treatment-warning/ With her...

One of our Black Silver Laced Wynadott hens is separating herself from the rest of the flock and acting off. She just lays down and doesn't seem interested in treats or anything. When I tried to walk up to her she got up and trotted away. However, I noticed her back end under her tail is almost...

We had to quarantine our Orpington, Henrietta, for the past 4 weeks in our basement while we diagnosed and treated her poo problems. Finally, she is ready to rejoin the rest of the flock but we're unsure and a bit worried the best way to reintroduce her. We have 15 other hens and 1 rooster...

We have 17 chickens and I noticed one in particular had a bare bum. After separating her from the flock and quarantining her, I took her to a vet who diagnosed her with worms. I treated her and the rest of the flock with Wazine 17 for 24 hours. That was about 4 days ago. I'm currently...

Hello! My fiance and I recently started our farmette and raising chickens. About a year ago we purchased our first birds at a small animal swap. They were young birds (or so we were told) probably about 8 months of age. After doing a lot of research to find which breeds were best suited for...
