We made up a batch of goodies for hens, like a pancake. Then, realized that about 1, maybe two, tablespoons of avocado oil was used to grease the pan for about two cups of batter. Can I feed it to the "girls"--two bantams and two standards?

Asking for another: "Pretty old BR Roo, once very heavy, recently light, had been resting-sitting back on his bottom off and on for maybe six months, maybe even longer. Otherwise, he continued to walk and act normally, except for not roosting at night, sitting like a broody on the bedding...

I read there was a forum for owners of flocks exposed to Mareks, but, I can't find it. Anyone know?

I got the Chickengaurd door last May. I've been very happy with not having to open and close the door every day, --and so are my chickens-- but, I've been a bit uneasy ever since, because it does not appear to be raccoon proof. I have looked off and on for the past year to find something...

Our beautiful Silkie roo that I have been hoping to breed, was badly pecked in the eye the other day, by a Jap roo that he has been living with for almost four years. When my daughter discovered them, he was just sitting there allowing the other to stand on him and continue to peck him. He...

Here are pictures of a little chick I have that isn't growing. She (he?) is about three weeks old as are the others in the hatch. As you can see the others are getting feathered out, but she has only wing feathers coming in. She is actually smaller than our 5 day old chicks! We tried putting...

There are 13 chicks. The first 11 hatched within three days of one another. 12 and 13 hatched near the end of that week. He's a fraction of the weight of the other chicks he's with. # 13 is still so small that he is the same size as others we hatched just a few days ago, though he is two...

Please look at my post under "what breed is this", I have pictures of a few of my two month olds and need help to know what I have. Thanks

IMG_5238.jpg My TSC chick is 2 months old. He was a black clean legged chick, and now he has spots and a "rosecomb?"

This photo was also taken today, as was my avatar. Taken through a hole in the cardboard box, because mama is wary of cameras. She still saw it!

Not only have I noticed that the same breeds of my flock hang together often, but I've also noticed that during the transition from chick to adult, the poulets begin to roost with the poulets and the cockerels with the cockerels. Once the mating starts, this ends and they mix it up. We had two...

How many bantam chicks can one bantam hen keep warm? We have nine bantam chicks under a light standard, but she is rough with them, and scratches in a dangerous way, so we are about to try to switch mommas. Not sure if bantam hen is big enough for nine. *edited title for clarity and...
