When I started dating my husband his father had some chickens, i gradually took over the care of them as i fell in love with them and their personalities.
After we moved out we got our own chickens and have had them ever since, with a few deaths and some survival stories! In our town we are...
I currently have one Australorp, they are good layers and gorgeous looking. Originally had two, the other was lovely (she died unfortunately) this one however is soo bossy and sometimes aggressive, even the dog is scared of her, she will sometimes fly at me and peck me. She is friendly but...
Hi everyone!
I have no idea where to post this or if I'm allowed but I need to rehome my lovely Rooster :(
We bought him thinking he was a hen. I am in Melbourne, Australia.
If anyone can help me it would be much appreciated, thanks.
My pullet is most definitely a cockerel! I cant believe i didn't realise!! He is lovely and i need to find him a good home. He is also supposedly an australorp splash or something.

Thank you!! Im not too concerned, she just has a lovely personality. Our wyandotte was such a scaredy cat but was becoming more confident. I was devastated to lose her, she was so beautiful. Other than her we've only has isa browns so i dont know much about other breeds.
Phew!! I was scared "she" may be a rooster we have never had such a young chick before. She is very friendly, confident and curious so i was a bit worried. Im in love already. Sadly our shy but lovely, 1.5yr old wyandotte passed away suddenly . We only have one other chicken (suburbia rules)...

I would like any opinions on breed and gender and age, i think she might be younger...
Glad she is ok, antibacterial spray should do the trick . If the wound doesn't get infected she will be fine. My chicken had a big scab for a while but all the skin grew back. I seriously didn't believe it would.. or could, it was totally open hole with neck exposed, like 3 inches long 2 inches...
Hi,
I'm so sorry this is a couple of days late. I hope your chicken is doing ok.
First I flushed the wound with a mix of water and idodine (called betadine in Australia) as i read to do this somewhere. I then put a Manuka honey ointment (from drugstore, it has antibacterial properties) on...
