I have 19 hens and 1 roo. For the last year or so, due to repeated attacks and flock loss, I increased my run size and limit free range time. (They still get about an hour a day or so of free ranging.) So I noticed this spring (End of April/May) that some of the girls were molting. They are...

I will have to upload pics from my phone in a minute, but when I was transferring my pellets into my plastic storage container I saw a few flecks of color. I stopped pouring and saw, to my horror, plastic in the food! Some bits are even separate and really sharp! I am contacting the company...

My chick, Bowie, is probably about 6 weeks old at this point. I thought she was Fine for the first few weeks but now that all of the chicks are getting older and taller….Bowie still isn't standing tall. I pulled her out of the pen to examine her because I saw she wasn't walking very well. Both...

I am just documenting my experience with this as I go, maybe it will help someone else. I hope it works!! Ginger, my RIR, has bumble foot on both feet.

I am so upset with myself…..I feel terrible. I have 2 hens left that just ate small amounts since the other hens were hogging it all...

I purchased 6 chicks at our local Rural King. We picked 2 White Leghorns, 2 Barred Rocks and 2 Black Australorps. So we thought……Am I now doubting that the Barred Rocks are actually Barred Rocks because the do not have any of the coloration I have seen in other pictures. When the chicks were...

I am a new member from Trafalgar, IN. I have 6 chicks: 2 white leghorns, 2 black australorps and 2 barred rocks. We are not sure that the rocks we bought really are….so we will have to wait and see. They are around 7 weeks old. This has been their first week outside and they are loving it!
