In March we bought a half dozen bantam chicks. Of course, three of them ended up being roos. They are gorgeous but we can not keep all of them. We have a regular sized roo and other hens as well. For now they seem to get along, but not for long, I am sure. I live in North Texas near the DFW...

I am looking to replace my rooster that died over the weekend. I am looking for a Brahma or golden laced wyandotte. Needs to be local enough to drive. I am in Burleson, TX (near Ft. Worth). Would be willing to drive a good distance for the right roo Contact me via phone 817-320-2586 (call or...

Ok we have this two year old hen. She has been laying, eating, being normal until the last few days. The first night she seemed lost. All the other hens and roo went to roost at dust. She was just kind of wandering around rubbing her beak on the ground, etc. She is one of our least tame hens and...

We had our first coop invasion last night. It was either a fox, coon or possum- from what we have seen on the game came lately. Anyway whatever it was killed one chicken and injured another before it spooked and ran off. It got the injured chicken's comb and face. I think she will be blind in...

Does anyone have a picture of their conure eggs compared to something else? Like a penny or something? Or compared to a chicken egg? Thanks, ChickenJones

Ok so its been over 3 weeks and our hen started out with 11 eggs and now has about 5. I don't know if they are good. We did candle a few and they were good at the time. But still we are at almost 4 weeks. My question is about replacing the eggs with chicks. Can this be done? Could we go in...

I know I posted a similar posting not too long ago, but I never got a reply so I am trying one more time. On the 11th of this month I saw my conures finally "pairing!" So how long will it be before they actually lay eggs, if they are going to lay eggs? They spend a lot of time in the box and...

Hi Again, so I noticed today my male Blue Crown was biting at the female when I was switching out some food. He was being very nippy. Normally its the other way around. The female is always the nippy one with him and she doesn't want him to talk to me or vise versa. So could a behavior change...

Does anyone make their own parrot toys? I have blue crowns (a pair) and playing for them is chewing so I am thinking I should start making toys to save some dough. Anyone tried this and had a successful design?

Does anyone know when the breeding seasons are for a Blue Crown? I have been told they are spring and summer and I have also been told they are summer and fall..

I looked through the board and couldn't match these to anything. We have lost two chickens in the middle of the day (well around 3pm) on two different days. It stinks because I have been off work due to weather here and there was no noise or warning as to what was going on. I think on both...

Hi everyone, I have a hen that was severely plucked by a rooster we used to have- she was his favorite and we got rid of that roo. Soon after all the hens started molting. Poor girl was almost naked (far worse than the rest of the girls). She has grown most of her feathers back but still...

Hi Everyone, My MIL is trying to downsize or rehome all of their breeder birds. They were in the business for awhile, but they are getting up in years and they are afraid they won't be able to give them a quality life for much longer. Before that happens, they are trying to rehome them. I told...

Hi, I have owned a cockatiel in the past before I had kids. I have other experience with birds because my Mother in law raises/sells them. All kinds from cockatiels to macaws. My oldest daughter is 6 years old. She has a lot of experience with all kinds of animals and with cockatiels and african...

Hi All, I am looking at quail for pets...are there any that like to be held or at least handled a little? I love the button quail but everything I read is that they are flighty and don't like to be held. I started looking at other kinds and realized all of them are beautiful!!! So which kind...

I am sure somewhere there is a post about this but I have been looking for quite a while and haven't found one so here goes. I have 6 hens and two roos. They all get along pretty well. I also have 6 chicks/pullets that are three months old. Most of my adult chickens are wyandottes and are pretty...

Ok, we just started keeping chickens last July so we are definitely new to the pest situation. We have figured out at least one hen has a lice problem. I know that if one does they all do. My question is about our pullets. We have 6 almost 3 month old pullets. They do not house with the hens but...

Hi Everyone. I have 6 light Brahmas that are almost 11 weeks old. They came from Ideal and are supposed to be hens. They all look about the same to me, except one. She (I will call her that in faith) is larger than everyone else and more white than everyone. I am hoping she might just be older...

Hi Everyone, I am wondering how many breed have feathered legs/feet? I have Brahmas and I know a few others but I bet there are more than I think. My DH went to TSC and he was telling me how they had a mix of chicks and some of them had feathery feet but they weren't brahmas, so now I am...
