    Hen not allowed back in the group

    I have no experience with roosters, as I live in the city. Is he only mean to her or others & people too? I think I would not keep him or at least separate him instead of the hen. Good luck with deciding.

    Lost my roosters :(

    Oh no... I am truly sorry for your loss! Can you send them in for necropsy to determine the cause of death? Any injuries that you can see? :hugs

    Ended BYC's 2021 Spooktacular Halloween Hatch-Along—Pumpkin Carving Contest

    Do any of you have sand in the coop and deep litter in the run?

    Chicken suddenly laying in poo under roost

    My suggestion is to put a poop board under the roost bar. The egg wouldn't have far to travel. Easy clean up. Nest boxes could go under the board for a bit more privacy & maybe staple up some fabric there too. Good luck.

    Official BYC Poll: What Kind Of Relationship Do Your Dogs & Chickens Have?

    Phoenix is good with the Girls. He could have snapped their neck 1,000's of time but he brings them his ball to play. The RIR has gone after him & they get a bit excited but soon settle back down. No ones been hurt but Dixie had a few dog hairs in her beak that time. He'd probably protect them...

    Sad Day - Hen died today

    Are you able to pick up some electrolytes? Maybe a fan for air movement. A pan with water to set them in?(my Girls don't care much for water, but if I hold them & they stand in it it definitely helps)....and then they take a dust bath. I hope all goes well for you.
