I noticed roundworms in one of my hens poop two days ago so treated all of them with Safeguard. Today I saw more roundworms in poop so I'm wondering if that is because the treatment is working? Would the disgusting worms be alive or dead when they come out?

Eight weeks old tomorrow. What do you all think? Roo or pullet. I keep telling myself pullet because the comb is not thaaaat red, but he/she acts a little roo-ish.

My five 7 week old bantam chicks have been out in the fenced run (but separated and living in a smaller coop) with my existing nine assorted mix bantams for the past two weeks. I'd like to open the door and let them in with the bigger girls ( no rooster), but two of the chicks are old English...

What is your opinions on these girls. They are four weeks old today. Ready for their coop? With or without heat plate? And, any ideas what the little goldish/reddish feather footed cuties might be? They are all bantams

First time ordering from Cackle Hatchery and I am so pleased! Ordered the 5 bantam pullet deal and was so pleasantly surprised to open the box to 7! They are so healthy and sturdy! Quick delivery, too. So.....any guesses to what I received? All are feather footed except the brown striped...

Question concerning silkie hens. I've been reading about how they are excellent mothers and will even sit on other hens eggs. So I'm wondering if I added some chicks to the coop and monitored very carefully... do you think one of my two silkie sweeties would care for them??

Hi! I'm in Walkertown, NC and am looking for some Bantam D'Uccle pullets. Anyone?

My new flock of chickens waste so much food and make a huge mess! I'm not sure why this is happening. I've watched them and they peck at it (eating it) and continue to toss it out of the dish while they're eating. I've tried placing it up on a higher surface, but the same thing happens...

Any guesses?

ID please?

I know I'll find the answers here! Can you please identify these hens for me?

My 2 1/2 year old bantam Cochin rooster is a wonderful boy…except to one of my hens. He has always been great and protective with all 10 hens until recently. He has chasing her off, not letting her around him, won’t let her near treats at times and just seems to despise her for some unknown...

Here's one more. I'm hoping Suzette is a pullet.

Anyone have any idea if my six week old bantam cochin calico are cockeral or pullet??

I made the mistake of allowing two bantam hens sit on their eggs in my small "nursery" coop. Once chicks hatch will there be a problem coexisting in the small coop or should I create a makeshift coop/area and move one of the hens and chicks. Any and all comments/suggestions appreciated. Thanks!

My hen has a fizzy kind of sound coming from inside her. She is quite lethargic. Please any advice!

I'm still up in the air on this one...her/his comb is larger than the other chicks, but not awfully reddish. "Peggy" is 7 weeks old today. Thoughts??
