Good idea. I leave the coop open during the day...so would that mean i lock the chickens out and only let them in at night ? How would that work with my broody hen, staying in her egg bucket all day? Leave her in there with him?

I have four hens and five ducks, all completely free range. They rummage all day and go to the coop at night. One of my hens is broody and desparately wanting to hatch her unfertile eggs, so i got a rooster from my friend/rabbit breeder. This rooster is a about two years old, and a mini. He was...

Guys, this is kind of an RIP/story/depressed venting. I started my chickens the beginning of 2016 in Louisiana. My first rent house, lots of land. I bought one welsummer (Poppy) and she was so in love with me and I with her. We got her at 2 days old and kept her heating area in our bedroom. She...

I just got this baby, looks like a pullet. Cant figure out wht breed though. I dont think she is a full breed so what mix could she be?

oh right i know they arent supposed to be laying yet but i heard sometimes they get loud while laying eggs. I gave thwm more fees and water so thats not the cause.

Ive got three six weekish old hens and this is the first time theyve started screeching at me?? I hadnt let them out of the coop today so i was thinking maybe thats it...and when i let them out the two shy hens literally jumped on my shoulders, this is NOT like them. I tries calming them to...

Im starting to think she's a mixed breed and i honestly dont care i just keep them as my Chicken babies. I just cant find any breed like her? Easter egger? Maybe. Isnt laying eggs yet. Thanks yall

He is not chirping and reacting to me petting his head. Just not standing up, and looking like he is taking a nap.

I was putting dry food in their coop from all the rain, and we have to lift our coop all the way up because of no door at the moment. The baby chick tried to run out and we accidentally caught him right under the coop. We lifted it up and he ran around for 5 minutes like normal while we tried to...

I was just wondering if anybody has taken liking to these birds? Just got two production red chicks and they are so flighty. Also they do not like me. It takes forever to get them out of the coop. They are so quick! Definitely way more skittish than my wellies. Has anybody got production reds...

Can someone please comment, there is multiple "black sore spots" but bumblefoot only has one right? I want to take care of this as soon as possible. It also looks like white hairs or something are growing on top of one of the black spots?

Hi, it seems like im always posting on injuries/emergencies. My wellie pullet poppy is always having reacurring problems but shes being a trooper with the proper care. I recently built them a coop, took her and her sister out to try and get used to it for maybe 1-2 hours of sunshine. Her foot...

I live in texas its hot 24/7 and we actually do have a fly problem but only in the kitchen and we keep and wellies in our room. Is there any way to tell if maggots are getting at her? I dont see any..

Thats what i thought also, but i put a camera on them to make sure her sister wasnt picking on her, and she really isnt. They are the only two chicks. I tried to separate thembbut they really wetent having it, and i clean it 4 times a day but it keeps getting larger and larger dude.. :(

Hey guys, i recently posted about my baby Poppy because i thought her sister attached her head.. Turns out, its not looking like that anymore. I shouldve known, peaches is too in love and obsessed with poppy to ever do such a thing! Popoy is eating, drinking and behaving totally fine. But her...

Hi azygous, sorry to keep your time, but im starting to notice a little something with the wound on baby poppys head.. Ive been cleaning and whatnot, shes totally fine with eating and drinking and behavior also.. But i attatched pictures of how the "hole" is turning more into a lump? Its poking...

Thank you so much guys, I definitly am not putting her down, I was very well thinking about it before my husband went to work, but I think we can get through this. I have the patients and thanks to yalls advice and expirience I think I can fix this! Yall helped so much thank you! I hope we can...

She is loosing her hair lower on her neck too? Could this be a disease????

I wanted to update. I Just pulled her out to clean her off again, and used a syringe with warm water to clean better. I'm starting to feel like we should put her down because it looks so hurtful and horrible, and I have never thought this about one of my animals. I feel so bad like it's all my...
