I'm going to try making a crow collar. I should have everything I need but if not, it's a just quick trip to Joann Fabric. We live in the country and could have a flock of roos, the only problem is my husband lol! He likes to sleep in on the weekends. I don't want to get rid of Everest, our...

Yay for new little hen eggs! Congrats!:woot

It really is kind of a stupid coop lol! They are still pullets so not too big, there are 4 in there and it's rated for 4 It's probably partly design, partly bad habit because our hens who used it first never slept in the nesting boxes.

Okay thank you! I only discovered her foot two nights ago, first treatment was last night and I am still researching as much as I can. I will read these next.

Thx for the tips. We do pick them up and put them on their roosts every night but it seems like they just won't learn. We have our pullets in a cheap old summerhawk Coop and the roosting bars are only an inch or two higher than the nesting boxes. I'm not sure how I could rig up a permanent wall...

Hello! I'm late to the convo and hoping to glean some info :caf Is there an egg withdrawal period after using Pen G? My hen has bumblefoot but there is no scab to dig out! Right now I'm soaking in Epsom salt, applying topical antibiotics (iodine & Neosporin) and wrapping with gauze and vet tape...

My pullets are about 4 months old and insist on sleeping in their nesting boxes. Combs aren't very red yet but starting to darken. I stopped filling the boxes with straw and they still try to sleep in there. They're stupid :th

I'm so glad I read this! I've been wanting to put together a chicken 1st aide kit. And I may have put ACV into their galvanized waterer! I'm going to go change it right now But is there anything I should do or watch for? This is only the first time I tried that...

I say keep your little chicks. Don't give up yet, this is a learning experience for sure! If it's shipping stress there's a chance only the weakest ones will die and you'll be left with the strongest chickens. If it's something else you've got good advice in the other coments and have time to...

Your hen is suffering and the vegan neighbor would surely want you to end it. No sense in wasting time making phone calls or waiting around for an appointment. We had a nasty nasty rooster, he got the shotgun treatment. I figure if we ever have a terminal hen she'll get the chopping block. It's...

Hi everybody! It's been quite a while since I have been active here, and not sure if I've ever introduced myself... Today we just got our 4th flock after being chickenless for about 2 years. It was a looong 2 years and I spent much of my time hooked on Facebook. So I'm happy to say I'm kicking...

Hello from the beautiful PNW! I'm in western WA :welcome

I'm so excited lol! We had 2 out of 3 eggs hatch last week. Based on the pictures, I am fairly certain that one is female and one is a male. We'll see if my prediction is correct...
