My chicken is acting normal, but her comb is turning dark. Some days it looks worse than others. I don’t know what I should be doing to help her? She doesn’t act sick but I think she probably is because of her comb. Here are some pictures from yesterday. During winter, her comb looked...

I have 4 hens, and am raising 3 more chicks to introduce this summer. I recently noticed one of my original 4 pecking at her buddy on the back of her comb when she was resting in the run. I made sure she stopped and then went on with my work in the coop. Fast forward to a few days ago and I...

I have been looking in the forums, and couldn’t find what I was looking for so I thought I’d just ask. Are plastic/resin garden sheds converted to a coop warm enough in the winter? I’m in central utah, and our winter temperatures average a low around 20 degrees, but there are days where it...

On April 10th, my kids and I picked out two more chicks. One we were told was a golden sex link, and the other was an Amerecauna. He also said they were commonly referred to as Easter Egg chickens. Not knowing better, I picked them out for their hen qualities and egg colors. We like to have...

My sweet polish bantam laid her first tiny egg last week, and hasn’t laid since. Should I be worried?

My son brought home two more chicks today from school, and this one is new for me. So far we have a 3.5 week white leghorn, a 4 week silver laced Wyandotte, and now some new chicks, maybe a week old? I’m not sure... another white leghorn, and this cutie that the school teacher said was a...

I was given a small chicken coop from a friend, after I received two small chicks from my son's school. My other son is bringing home two more chicks this week, so I will have 4 chickens total. I have been doing a ton of research, and feel this inside space is too small. Am I wrong? I'm...

I’m a first time owner of baby chicks, and have been reading and reading to gain knowledge on the subject. One of our chicks, hatched Friday morning, and yesterday I noticed a wing sticking out most of the time and I want to make sure he/she doesn’t need help. Does anyone have experience with...
