Hi Becca!  I haven't been posting much, but I've been watching Twitch and waiting, waiting... Kinda reminds me of waiting for Harley to kid, that was quite the wait! Twitch seems pretty calm right now munching away.  She seems...

Sounds like you've got some good coop/run plans!I think bantam and standard hens can live together fine - but I wouldn't keep a standard roo with bantam hens, he could injure them during mating due to the size difference.Mixed sized hens...

Can you take some new pictures?  I think we really need to see pictures of this.  It sounds pretty bad, it may be bumblefoot but can't be sure without seeing it.  We'll have a better idea what you're dealing with and how...

Hopefully someone else can weigh in on this, but I think I read somewhere that cedar is toxic to chickens?I'm glad she's eating a little.  What is Gogurt, does it have flavors and sugars added in it?  I've heard of it but don't...

I don't think layer mash alone would cause a blockage - unless she ate a bunch and then had no water to drink.Could have been a piece of the styrofoam causing a blockage further down.  Keep a close eye on her poop, but it sounds...

Why are you giving her epsom salt, not sure if that's a good idea?  You should give her some plain Pedialite (it's for babies) instead, or if you have any vitamin/electrolyte for chickens, that's even better.  For a little...
