Bachelor pad? That's just a pen right? Hey wait a min.... MORE HEN's ? Why didn't I think of that.

RIR lover living in the tar-heel state of NC. I started out with Reds over 15yrs. ago, and still going. Only recently strayed by getting 4 diff. breeds this past Feb., but have nothin-but-love for my Reds . Great temperment, the Roos are definitly king of the yard; hens are docile and have...

I've got 4 Roo's: 1 senior, 1 older adolescent and 2 five-month olds. Senior isn't a problem, it's the other 3 that are becoming to much for the hens (23 of them) they are running for their lives...literally. The Roo's are not mean, but I lost 1 older hen this week because she got tore-up with...

You know your addicted when your new babies need a pocket TV set on just the right channel (no unwholesome talk-shows or content) just cartoons,of course your own TV volume is turned down so low you can't hear it because of the baby monitor on your nightstand for the last 2 month's. Also make...

From the pictures it looks like the scab or other matter is on his butt. Long time ago I had a two day old RIR roo, that suddenly went lame, not walking or able to stand. This being the case, his poop would pile up on his backside. I would hold him in my hand and let him eat and drink until he...

I agree with the probability there is some infection going on since raccoons have very sharp claws there may be a cut or scratch somewhere underneath her feathers that you have not seen, not to mention the infected (although sounds better) leg wound. If she doesn't want to eat her normal food...

:lauThis is too funny! We had a speckled hen a few years ago(her name was speckles too!) that did the same behavior...getting in the car when you pulled up in the driveway, chasing the car down the driveway (like a dog does). One day I had get out of the car, grab her and take her way back...

Thanks to everyone who responded to my sick rooster. He is not out of the sick-woods yet, but noticeable improvement in his alertness and respiratory problems. We are giving him Terra-Vet and Vi-Tal, but I have not put the Vet-RX on his beak yet. He is an old rooster, very friendly but never...

thank you for responding. Went to the feed store Saturday and got antibiotic Terra Vet (Oxytetracycline HCI). After doing some research we think it's symptomatic of Laryngotrachietis. Have been giving him the medications, but no improvement as of yet. Would sulfar medications help? Thanks to...

Thank-you for your response, I don't believe he has any foreign objects in his mouth but he does seem congested. He is a free range rooster as are all my flock so it is difficult to physically examine him closely. His droppings are mostly white and loose. He has never been wormed; all the rest...

We're brand new here at BYC and very glad to have found you all. We have had free range chickens for about 16 years here in North Carolina. We have an older rooster that has come down sick with these symptoms; lethargy,sneezing,coughing,some difficulty swallowing almost like a semi...
