Hello, I have a beautiful little hen named Honey with a foot or leg problem - maybe. First, she was inside a week ago, I found her sitting on the ground in their run cold and lethargic. I found that she had pooped on herself and it was so cold here (-40C) that it froze and stuck and of course...

Hello, We just hatched some Polish chicks this last week and today while cleaning up and checking for pasty butt, etc. we noticed a growth or lump on one of the chicks. It's on the back of the "shoulder" and is very squishy to the touch. It was actually hard to notice so it may have been there...

Hi, I apologize in advance if this is a repeat question, I did search and read all the posts about vision problems but they all seemed a bit different than what we have going on here. On to the problem... when I was tucking "the kids" into the run tonight I noticed Frank was lagging behind...

Hi, I hope this isn't a redundant question, I haven't been able to find anything about this yet. And I'll apologize in advance for the long-winded post, but I'd like to give as much info as I can and then I have a few questions. I have four almost 7-week old chicks, two pullets and two...

Hi, I read a whole bunch of posts and didn't find the info I was looking for so I sincerely hope this isn't a recent repeat (and apologies if it is). Also, this is our first real injury, so forgive me if I'm asking things you think I should know - we're just learning as we go here! :) We had...

Hi all, I'm hoping for some advice here and I'll apologize in advance for the long-winded post I'm about to type, I'm over-thinking things as I go so I'm just going to share all my thoughts. :) I'm new to chickens this year and while some things are going quite well (lots of delicious...

Hi everyone, I've been searching and reading others' posts so I'm familiar (I think) with most recommendations for introducing new birds to your flock, but I'm in need of reassurance - or straight up advice, if you think I'm going about this wrong. I had a plan all sorted in my head and it's...

Hi everyone, I'm hoping to get some help in here, I suspect I ended up with much more than the 50% roo's I anticipated I might get in the "barnyard mix" I ordered and I need to start rehoming some because there's too much fighting going on. One bird in particular is really not well liked in the...

I have 5-week old chicks in a large brooder in my house still, we're just finishing the coop and plan to move them out tomorrow. However, I noticed that on one of our girls the outer toe on each foot is curled. In fact, they're curled out to the side and straight back. I don't see any other...

Hey all, I'm hoping this hasn't been answered somewhere in here before, if it has I can't seem to find it. Anyhoo... I've got 14 baby chicks living in my living room right now (supposed to be outside by now but Mother Nature had other ideas this year... ) and so far I think we're doing okay...

Hello, I'm a newbie here, living in Northern BC and we're soon-to-be first time chicken parents. I'm just trying to work out what we'll have to set up through the coming year. We have a coop from our home's previous owner, with a run and all that jazz so we're pretty well set for the summer...

Hi Everyone, I'll just start with this: First real post and I've read so much in the last few days that now I'm having trouble making sense of it all. I'm probably going to ask a couple of ridiculous questions - please bear with me. And if you are kind enough to offer advice I beg you -...

Hi everyone, I am a complete newb here, so new we don't even have chickens yet! I'm still in the "overwhelmed with research" mode, trying to figure out how much of the previous home owner's setup is usable and how much we'll have to change, reno, or move. I'll do my best not to ask too many...
