Hello, Our girl, Lacey is a 18mo old welsummer. Started molting abound a year old when we brought home two new chicks and she went broody. We bathed her cold water daily to break her broody behavior; good thing it was summer. Fast forward to September and i notice our boss hen (Barred Rock)...

Meet Trouble, she will be 4 years old this July. Last night, my husband & I heard a weird bark. We look at our dog and she gave us the "It's not me look." None of the 4 chickens pointed fingers but while doing the little things we do outside. My husband noticed that the sound came from...

Our three girls haven't been laying regular since January. They will be 2 years old in July. We haven't seen any real molting just a handful each. I did my May bathing of chicken behinds. I also checked vents and nothing. We have pulled the faux eggs for a few weeks and nothing. No signs...

We have three hens who will be 2 years old in July. Started with six, two of each: RIR, Buff Orpington, and Barred Rock. We are down to one of each with only our RIR being our only producer. The other two are spending time in the nesting box. One sits on the faux egg. Today, I am going to...

Hello, We live north of Seattle and we are in our rainy season. What can I do to prevent mold? For the past two weeks when I clean our coop I have found furry pooh. We move our coop every week and clean it every week. We put a layer of sawdust then straw on top. This week, we are just...

Our RIR – Goldie is lethargic. She is six months old and has usually been laying normally. For the past three days, she hasn’t layed an egg. She is usually kind of stand offish around the other girls but she wouldn’t get down off the roost this morning. We put her up on the roost last night...

It is getting cold here below freezing but our girls prefer to roost in the Run? Our run is nice and covered with clear & tinted roofing! We even put a nice heat lamp to warm the coop to keep near 50degrees when it is freezing outside. Of course we added a thermometer to monitor the temp...
