    Rooster keeps head down

    I feel like I am staring down the same gun barrel. went out this morning and my roo (24 wks old) had his head down almost between his legs. I picked him up and sat with him. he would drink any water but he ate scrambled eggs without a problem. A shadow flew over and everybody gets excited as...

    Neutering Roosters

    ME TOO, ME TOO, Me too!!.. so many negative comments. Sometimes I wonder if this IS the place to talk about my "kids". We live deep in the woods and down here in the holler, our 2 big boys carry on great long conversations with the Bantom Boys up the way. Last year (Sept/Oct) we hatched 6...

    1 Week in the coop and the Poop-slide is working GREAT!

    Hello! I love this hack. Its been a while now, hows it working for you over time? I currently use grain bags stapled to a back wall , along the bottom of the roost supports. Useing a plaster scraper works great, but a slide would be so much easyer. I have 1-3yr old hen, her 6 -1 yr olds, and...

    Sorry, i wrote what felt like a book. Cant find it here. I thought there might be something i could buy to make her feel better, thats all. I've read mixed with stool could be somewhat normal on occasion. No stool mixed in, no wounds at all. Its okay, sorry i stared this. I give her scramble...

    Does my hen have Mareks Disease??

    I am sorry you are going through this. It's awful when we humans feel so helpless and our birds need us. I have nothing to offer except the ache in my heart for you. If its something we just can't fix or help them with, it is so heavy and so sad. I feel I am looking down that road too. I...

    where do I start? I have a 4 yr old hen and a 1 yr old Roo who is unmerciful to her. She is the only one who looks like shes molting and new feather points are coming in. She won't wear an apron, I put it on and she just sits on the ground. It's getting cold up here in Michigan fast...
