I got your info from a post I did on fb. I hope you don't mind me contacting you. I have a one year old hen who came down with an infection. Her ONLY symptoms have been lack of eating, drinking and pooping and everything else is normal. The infection was confirmed with a blood test, however, I...

I'm contemplating on laying sod in my yard before winter. I let my 9 hens free range when I'm present so it'd have to be organic for me to even consider doing this. It's 90% dirt right now and a complete muddy mess in the winter so I'm thinking this may be a better option if I can find something...

Just curious if you found out the city ordinance info on owning backyard chickens? I currently have 9 hens and my family is looking to move down to Tehachapi, CA within the next year but I need to know if my chickens will be aloud.

I live in the city and have 9 backyard chickens. Our yard is average in size and I let them free range when I'm outside working in the vegetable garden. This year I have a bad problem with ants. I've tried cornmeal, DE and vinegar/water and nothing seems to be helping. I'm worried about what I...

Over a month ago we installed an automatic door which I hesitated to get, fearing that a chicken or two would get left out in the run. Our run is 100% predator proof with 1/4" hardware cloth from top to bottom so I'm not worried about anything happening to them, I just prefer they sleep in the...

Just curious if any of you use a light source for the winter months to keep egg production while the days are shorter? If so, did you opt for electrical hook up or solar, what kind of lights did you choose and what hours do you have them set to come on and off? Does it matter if they come on...

I know all about fly control in the coop/run and hardly ever see any there. We use a mixture of sand/DE/Sweet PDZ which works really well. My problem is I let my hens out at least once a day, sometimes twice to free range in my yard and they poop everywhere. Because we water 2-3 times a weeks...

That's what i was thinking but just wanted to double check. These are our first chicks so we're learning along the way.

I had a rabbit with a broken leg about 10 years ago and was broke at the time. We ended up confining her for 6-8 weeks in a small cat carrier and she healed just fine.

I have 9 10 weeks old chicks who randomly eat feathers. These are just feathers that have fallen off and I haven't noticed them pecking a each other. It seems they're molting which I've read is normal at this age. I've also read that this could be due to lack of protein and I still have them on...
