I found my black star hen with a large wound on her back and i am assuming a hawk tried to get her. I put some wound care on the injury and gave her an .3 cc injection of baytril. I am not sure of the correct dose of baytril (anyone know?) just gauged by what I give my parrots. Any...

I got this rooster and people have told me he is a barred rock but he has feathers on his feet and is larger than the barred rocks I have seen. Does anyone know what he might be? Thanks

If you worm your hens I know you can't eat the eggs for awhile but what about incubating them? Will it hurt the baby or keep it from developing?

I saw the White Jumbo Rock Cornish at my feed and seed. I know you have to butcher them at about 8 weeks or they become so large they get crippled so if they never get sexually mature how the heck do they get them in the first place?
