Miscellaneous Poultry Questions

Asking miscellaneous poultry questions is how we learn. There are no stupid questions, or things you should already know. Many of us, that have kept chickens for decades, are still learning, because we just want to know more.


This doesn’t mean it takes decades to learn what you need to know to take good care of a small flock of chickens. In the process of answering miscellaneous questions, I continue to learn and expand my chicken related knowledge, just because someone else had a question.

Questions seem to breed wisdom, knowledge, understanding and even more questions!

There is nothing that compares to hands on, on the job training. Through the years I have kept chickens, I have thoroughly enjoyed being mentored by people who love chickens, have kept them for years, and enjoy the lively, humorous, interesting, and beautiful qualities chickens share with us.

I’ve been asking chicken questions to anyone and everyone I’ve met that just might know a little more about chickens than I do. No answer is necessarily the whole picture on the subject, but each bit of information we gather can help to lead us down the right path to better understanding our chickens, their needs, wants, health, illnesses and behaviors. If you have a question you would like answered click here.

ASK A CHICKEN QUESTION

Here at Raising Chickens we strive to give you the best answer possible. We will have an answer to your question in 24 hours. If we do not answer your question in 24 hours we will give you a complete refund and still answer your question. On staff we have a vet tech with 25 years of experience raising chickens and other exotic birds.

We have many people who try and post answers in the comments and contact us section. We are very busy and try to answer all questions but asking a question in these two areas will not guarantee an answer.

To help with the cost of maintaining the site I am asking our visitors to make a small payment of $4.95 for each question submitted.
