We lost one of them 😢 the one left is active, eating and drinking… so holding out hope! Giving her electrolyte water and will try the wet chick feed. Do you think she is ok alone? We have her separated in a pet pen and dog igloo. Temps are around 90. The other pulleys and hens can see her but...

We had 4 of our 9 week old chicks go missing while we were out of town. Our chick-sitters could not find them. When my husband got home… He found them wedged between our shed and the wall. Two are dead and two are alive. So sad!!!! What is the best way to nurse them back to health? We have 3...

We have 8 hens that are about 3 years old and got 7 new chickens 2 months ago (so now 8 week old pullets) We built a bigger coop to house all the chickens and have been slowly introducing the chicks (look don’t touch) and now they are together during the day. We are planning to be out of town...

Where do you usually get your chicks? We can't have roosters , so I can't hatch my own

We are going to be building a new coop to house our current 5 hen flock and add in 4 more hens (once they are ready to be together of course). What are your favorite ways to weather proof your coops here in Utah? Any coop plans that you love and are fairly simple that will house 8-10 chickens?

We are building a run for our girls on the side of our house. Right now there are rocks/gravel covering the ground. We are going to move the rocks, leaving dirt as the ground of the run. They have been in our yard with grass for the past 4 months. Will the dirt be good enough for them or is...

Our Golden Wyandotte has turned out to be a Rooster! We can not have Roosters in our area. Anyone want him? We are in South Jordan.

We are getting ready to move our 5 week old chicks into their coop this week! I have read on here that you need to keep them "cooped up" in their coop for a couple of weeks to establish that this is their new home. Question... is it ok to take them out at all during those 2 weeks? Or do they...
