    Sumatra Rooster is Overbreeding My Hens 🥲

    Saddleswont help unfortunately, it's not an issue for back or wing feathers--only the feathers on the back of their heads. He's a horn dog this first breeding spring of his, hope he mellows out

    Vorwerks

    They just need time to work out the pecking order. They'll be at the bottom until they're full sized, then, they may attempt to challenge the elder members.

    Sumatra Rooster is Overbreeding My Hens 🥲

    I have a beautiful Sumatra rooster. I about to put him alone, he's made FIVE out of his 13 hens bald. I've never had this breed to be fair, but he's an unbelievably active rooster. I'm not sure I can keep him 😭 13 hens should be more than enough for one rooster. I'm a seasoned keeper and...

    Is this frostbite? Salmon Faverolle Hen Comb

    Not sure, it doesn't seem to bother her and doesn't rub off. I saw on a another post some Favorolle hen had this weird browning of the comb. No answer was ever reached there either.

    Is this frostbite? Salmon Faverolle Hen Comb

    I thought maybe it was mud, but I think this is just her comb color now. It's been like this for a couple months and she seems healthy otherwise. If it were frostbite, I would have thought it'd fall off? Never had any birds impacted, no other flock members have this.

    Silver Sebright Rooster over Splash Rosecomb Hen creates?

    What colors.can this cross create? I have 2 new Silver Laced Sebright Roosters and will have both Splash and Black Rosecomb Bantam Hens in spring. Curious what kind of babies they could create? 🤔 I tried that chicken calc thing, but didn't see a splash from the pick a photo option.

    Duck Breed Recommendations? Want: Friendly and not able to fly

    I think I'd like to try a few ducks. I want some child friendly, non flying, and maybe quieter side. I love small chickens, but whatever size is ok.

    Rainy and dark day

    Maybe build a little canopy so the door can stay open for ventilation during the day?

    Omlet Run Issues

    My entire chicken flock in my Eglu just got murdered by racoons who busted and chewed the plastic run clips. I'm mortified and sad. My Omlet was only 1.5 years old with skirt, everything. Reinforced with zipties. Never again. I have the literal "racoon resistant" run they offer. I dont even know...

    They also work well in my coops. Though, the ladies still prefer wood chips in the laying boxes.

    I'm not going to survive through raising these babies

    Cocci is usually an issue with build up in your actual brooder. Letting your chicks/keets out will help spread their droppings away from concentrate within your brooder. It's fine as long as it's a secure pen that is predator proof and where you can catch the babies again if needed, and has both...

    I'm not going to survive through raising these babies

    Keets are literally HORRIBLE to raise. They always make chicks raised with them spooky and bad with human keepers. Don't sweat it too bad. Chickens are 1000% better than guineas, especially when rearing chicks.

    Is it possible that Ideal Poultry is scam artists?

    I've also had no problems with Ideal Hatchery and refunds when needed. I actually have found their chick-to-adult ratio to like actually surviving laying eggs much better than Cackles. Though I feel Cackles has some better looking birds for some breeds.
