Chicken coop and laying hens complete set up http://memphis.craigslist.org/grd/5152042555.html

One of my Hens, a Colombian Rock, who is three years old stopped laying. She goes in to the nest and sits for a few hours every day, but does not lay an egg. What's going on?

I use a standard white bucket with nipples on the bottom. I always keep the lid on, and occasionally add ACV to the water. I change the water every three days, but I'm getting a black slime on the inside of the bucket, both above and below the water. So far I've been washing with soap at every...

i have been using a D20 Add a motor as my pop door opener for 3 years and love it. My issue was that my coop is not visible from my house and I wanted to be able to visually "see" the the door was opening/closing as scheduled. The digital timer I use for the door has two outlets. I made a simple...

I was given a one year old hen a few months ago. She goes into the nest boxes to sit on the already laid eggs during the day but is laying her eggs during the night while on the roost bar!

i was given an Ameraucana hen a few months ago. She was molting, and that coupled with the stress of being the low bird on the pecking order put her laying on hold. She is about a year old. She began laying this week and has laid an egg a day. My question is this: I was expecting blue eggs but...

I introduced a new hen in to my small backyard flock a week ago. The stress of getting acclimated has given her a breathing issue. I can hear a rumbling when she breathes. I've used Vet RX for 2 days and it hasn't helped. I'm thinking an antibiotic would be a good choice before it gets worse. I...

I've been dealing with a recouring case of Bumblefoot on one toe for 4 months! I've done numerous surgeries. The infection disappears after a round of penicillin and then returns. I then tried a round of Clindamyacin and again it returned. I'm about to try Tricide Neo soaks, but find conflicting...

My favorite hen has had bumblefoot for close to 3 1/2 months. I've tried everything. The infection is isolated to one toe. I've removed more kernels and pus than I can keep count of. She is currently on the second round of penicillin intramuscular shots. The toe is extremely swollen. I've tried...
