I have a pair of Royal Palms, the tom has started mating the hen within the last couple weeks. I noticed her acting rather solitary yesterday which is not like her at all. Checked her out and found gashes (deep ones) under each wing. I am sure this happened when the male is mating her and...

Wanting Appenzeller Spitzhauben hatching eggs or pullets/hens. I'm in Colton, OR

I have a young Lemon Cuckoo Orpington rooster and I'm wondering if his skills will improve. None of my hens backs are messed up, but the backs of their heads and necks look awful. He is doing a great job watching out for them, breaking up the occasional squabble and alerting to danger. It's...

While chicken watching today I notice one of my hens toenails are pretty long. Am I supposed to be trimming nails? Also I have wondered about beaks...how many people trim or file beaks to keep them from getting too long?

I have two incubators, one is going right now. I made a mistake and ordered more eggs than I have room for in my open incubator. The eggs running right now won't be done until the 23rd. The eggs I ordered will be here Wednesday or Thursday. What is a staggered hatch? Any ideas how I can manage...

What is the color/ pattern called on a Sicilian Buttercup. I am trying to figure out this chicken calculator and having a hard time. Also, is shows Barred/ Cuckoo and then has options like Lavender Cuckoo...but no lemon cuckoo?? So what would a Lemon Cuckoo Orp be within the kippenjungle...

My Royal Palm hen has laid two eggs in the same day and both are odd. I'm wondering if there is a reason for it, if I should be concerned. She is a year old and this is the second set of eggs she has laid since I have had her. I know she was laying before I got her. I hatched the first set out...

I have two POL hens right now, one Delaware and one Lemon Cuckoo Orpington. I also have one Partridge Rock that is probably a year and a half old. The PR lays pretty consistent light tan eggs. Today we found an egg in the poop board without a shell, just a membrane. It was light brown. Is this...

I have two Dark Brahama pullets that I thought had coccidiosis. One or both of them had bloody stools. They would eat it before I could really examine it. I treated them with Corid for 5 days..nothing changed. So I switched to Sulmet, after two days the bloody stools have stopped. They are...

Exploring options here... Neighbors nicely bred unaltered male hunting dog keeps coming onto my property to check out my chickens and turkeys. He hasn't done anything yet... The first time I caught him out there at the run I called the owner. He came and got the dog and told me he wouldn't...

My turkey hen just hatched out 9 poults, there were 4 eggs left and she stopped sitting on them. (before she started sitting, one of my chickens was sitting on them, which is why the hatch dates are different) I have the incubator going with an auto turner. My first time. I brought the turkey...

There were 14 eggs, 9 hatched. 7 look like Naragansett and 2 Royal Palm. 1 egg disappeared and we brought the remaining 4 inside and put them in the incubator because it seemed Dot was done sitting on them. We candled them and all have babies in them. 1 in the incubator just pipped. I'm nervous...

I wasn't sure where to post this. I have my whole flock on Cortid right now, so I won't be eating the eggs. Can I feed the eggs back to them? If I throw them in the run broken? Will this create egg eaters?

After reading so much on the forum I'm pretty sure that my little GLW has Coccidiosis. When I got home from work last night my bf told me that she was fluffed up and sitting in the corner, when he picked her up she seemed very light. He thought the others were keeping her from eating so he...

I got my eggs today! I'm very excited, it's my first time incubating eggs. I'd love some company. The more the merrier..and possibly educational. Like a crazy person I took pictures of the unveiling of the eggs, lol. 10 BLRW 3 Golden Lakenvelder 3 EE 2 Wheaten Marans 2 Ameraucana

We took our three pullets and Freebie, my RP turkey poult down to the coop tonight. They are big enough to join the other "tweeners". We keep them in a coop within the coop so they can all get to know each other without the adult chickens picking on them. We are hoping this will mean a smoother...

I am feeding corn and soy free chicken feed, but I realized that as educated as I am about dog and cat nutrition...I know little about chicken and turkey nutrition. So my question is, are people wanting to avoid soy and corn in chicken feed for nutritional reasons? or does it have more to do...

I'm so excited! I got 7 Spitz chicks today. I am definitely no expert..but after really looking them over at home I think I have 3 roosters and 4 hens. This being based on what I have read here. I was hoping some of you would point out some of the good, bad and ugly for me...as far as how they...

I purchased a pb Royal Palm hen for my Royal Palm tom. She is a year old and has already hatched out a clutch of eggs. When I went to pick her up I was told she had been accidentally bred by a Eastern Wild turkey. They are not native here. The wild tom had flown onto her property and she is not...
