I recieved an offer from MEN in my e-mail that states that they will give plans for a free mini coop if you buy one of their e-books for $6.95. There are even a couple of e-books regarding poultry and game books. Not sure if I am going to take them up on their offer at this time, (I start...

Went to check on our chickens last night to see if they all put themselves to bed, and found one of our two 12 week old pullets alone hunched in the dirt. Usually these two girls are inseperable, so I went over to her to check her out. She was very listless, and when I picked her up and set her...

I know that I read about this on the other board, but did not pay much attention. One of our girls started crowing this morning, (we got red of the rooster 2 months ago) and I was wondering if she would continue laying. Anyone have any experience with this?

Note: I posted this on the other forum also.... My favorite hen has had so many loose stools lately that it has made a mess on the feathers on her bottom. Is there a general wormer that I can administer? Would it be available at a feed store? What is the best way to clean the feathers on her...
