Here in Oregon we are on flood watch. We have a roof on the run for the chickens but they are still getting wet with the amount of rain/wind. Poor things look like drown rats. Should I be concerned that they can get sick? Should I lock them in the coop? I have 2 chicks about 2.5 months old. The...

We live in Oregon and it's been raining all day. I have a spot for the chickens to go under cover under the coop some of them have been hanging out there throughout the day. But they are drenched! I don't want them to get sick. Will they be ok?

Ok. I made some oatmeal and I'll cut back on table scraps. Maybe I'll give them some yogurt tomorrow.

I have them on flock raiser because I have a couple chicks with a mama. I also give them all of my scraps. Should I make them a bowl of oatmeal?

I haven't had any egg issues at all til now. 1 out of my 5 chickens is laying in the middle of the coop. Not sure who. Sometimes it's untouched but sometimes it's eaten. I heard putting an egg with mustard or hand soap in it? Where should I put it so the culprit is the one to get it. Also I have...

well I noticed this today.

I would say pullet. Only because the buff in my pic is a rooster. It's 1 month old and comb is turning red. I also noticed Spurs today.

It's hard to see the color of the comb with the red lamp. Can you take a pic with natural light? We moved our chicks outside about 9-10 weeks but it was spring. Once they are fully feathered they should be ok to move outside. The chicks I have are outside right now, but they are with mama. So...

I think you're right about age. these are 4 weeks old. :)

Not against eating it. Part of life, just wanted it to have more of a life. I think I found a home for it. We live in the city limits other wise I would keep it. My friend that has chickens lives outside the city limits and plenty of hens for him to chase around.

Well... What should I do with it?! Wait til it starts to crow then have it for dinner?

Buff Orpington 1 month old. I have a feeling it's a roo.

It's at her hip/thigh joint. I was reading other posts about broke legs. And it fits her pretty well. Leg is limp and foot is curled up and unable to use.

I think it's dislocated or broken. From what I can feel. What now? This is my very skiddish chicken. So she is prob already pretty traumatized. :(

I have a large dog crate. But it's too big to fit in the coop. I don't have baby aspirin but I do have children's Tylenol and ibuprofen. I'll have to grab some aspirin in the morning. I feel like it's something to do with her hip/leg because she will not put any pressure on it.

So while I was helping mama bird get in the coop for the night the other chickens got out. So I caught them and put them back in the run now one is limping. She isn't bleeding and won't put pressure on her left leg. How do I diagnose and help?

This chick hatched around 8pm last night. It was very weak out of the shell. Slept all night without a peep. I gave it water before heading to bed. This morning 7, it was chirping away but wasn't moving. Now it can barely keep its eyes open and is very wobbly. I have given it sugar water and...

That URL doesn't work.

I came home and found my broody in the wrong box!!!! I am sure she was only off for a couple hrs. Will it effect the egg!?

Ha! Yes! I love Wilco. They have baby chicks right now and it was so hard not to get more. We already have 5 hens. And it looks like the broody is only sitting on 1 good egg. I just wanted to make sure. I give my extra eggs to neighbors and didn't want to have to throw away our eggs. :( that...
