    URGENT HELP PLEASE. Rooster Getting Worse

    How is he otherwise? If his behavior is otherwise normal, I would give it more time for the swelling to go down. Keep doing what you're doing.

    P.T. testing

    In NY, we can get it done free during county fair time. They have clinics in each county during the summer, usually at the fairgrounds. If you call your local extension office, they could tell you.

    New hen won't leave the coop in the morning!

    I have individuals who take their time to leave and others that fly out and nearly take my head off. It's all good. I think some like the privacy.

    Humidity Problem in Lockdown- Help Appreciated.

    In my experience, the humidity only is an isdue after pipping. I always help my chicks if they haven't finished hatching after 24 hours.

    Closed flock? I have a lovely chicken for you...

    Anybody out there with a closed flock? I "rescued" a lovely white bantam cochin for a deceased neighbors estate. Good thing I quarantined - she's mycoplasma positive. Anyway, my flock is clean so I'd like to find her a nice home where she can live as a pet. Willing to drive some. I'm in upstate NY.

    EMERGENCY Mutilated Cockerel, please help [graphic images]

    I had a scalped chicken recently. I did sew the hanging flap back on as a biological bandage. Some has fallen off and there's a funny little tag of skin. Never missed a day laying an egg so she wasn't suffering too much. She's fine now. We call her Sinead.

    We rescued 2 chickens - one has no butt feathers - what is the best care for this?

    I don't know about the swelling. Worms? Egg bound? But I've had feather problems. Sometimes it wont really grow back until molting season. Be patient.

    Deformed beak?

    There's some beak issue with this little guy. I inherited some poultry and I have them in isolation while I treat some issues of neglect. Their owner died and their caretaker didn't know any better. A few have nose canker. A few have mites. All have overgrown beak and toenails from living in...

    "White" Araucana mix?

    Yeah? No kidding? Maybe that's why I said Araucana MIX in the first place. I already have these birds. I know what the are and aren't. I just wanted to know what color the white one would be when it was grown. Sheesh...

    What is the friendliest breed of rooster?

    Barred rock. Mine is very tame. I gave some chicks that I knew were males to a friend and she wouldn't believe they were male because they were so mellow.

    "White" Araucana mix?

    I received 10 Araucana chicks from the hatchery today. My experience is that the females have chipmunk stripes and the males are two toned. I wasn't sure about this "white" one. Upon closer inspection, I see it does have chipmunk stripes. They're just very pale. Anybody else see this before...

    Review by '' on item 'Welsummer'

    When searching for dark egg layers, I've heard many people are disappointed with hatchery chicks. I have to admit tgat I was concerned waiting for my first Welsummer egg. These eggs are certainly not chocolate or particularly dark, but they are darker than my other brown egg layers with tiny...

    Review by '' on item 'Easter Eggers'

    I've had several of these chickens. The free rooster I got from the hatchery looks like the one in the main photo. I also have a red one. The hens are all unique. They have the same basic characteristics, but the details are different so you can tell them apart easily. I get blue, mint green and...

    Review by '' on item 'Old English Game Bantam'

    We have two pair of these - black and blue. The females are sweet and make good show birds for small children. The lay enormous eggs considering their body size. The males are very agressive as is to be expected, but can be handled because of their small size. Just make sure you wear sleeves...
