    Prolapsed vent

    Help. My Tilly has a prolapse vent and her flockmates pecked at her before I saw it. She's currently in an Epsom salt bath resting and I plan to gently push back in and apply hydrocortisone. Any other suggestions? I don't want to lose my sweet Tilly.

    Zelda (or Zed) needs a new home. Phx,az

    He's gorgeous but we can't have him inside the city :( looking for a good home. He's sweet, takes a minute to warm up. He's already looking after his ladies and alerts to danger, he even helps them find goodies. He's 11 weeks old and an Easter Egger.

    Lavender Orpington pullet or cockerel

    This is Ilsa. She is 7 weeks old. Is she still a she you think or is she still too young? I don't have any other lavenders to compare to and we can't have roosters where I live :(

    Chicks mobbing me with love

    How do I teach my chicks that not all 6 of them can sit on my shoulders and cuddle at one time? They are scratching the crud out of my chest and shoulders and I love them but it hurts. Also, 6 chicks happily peeping and telling you about their day IN YOUR EARS kind of hurts.... They are 5/6...
