Today I noticed that my roo Indie was slightly less active than usual. He's pretty calm, so I didn't think much of it, but when I scooped him up out of the yard, he didn't fight to get away and this is a bird that isn't thrilled with being picked up. I held him for a minute, pet him and sat him...

One of my younger girls has started laying and I have no clue as to who it could be. We have 2 EE and a Barred Rock that are likely to be laying any day now, but the (almost) 16 week Brahma is the one that is always in the coop that these eggs were found in. The coop isn't used, but we do put a...

I have a lab/chow mix that is far too interested in our birds. I'm afraid that he may kill them (it happened in the past with 2 different dogs) and I don't know how to teach him to be a little less homicidal. How have you all managed to socialize your dogs with your birds?

Our coop has a dirt floor, nesting boxes attached to the wall below the perch and a few plants growing inside for the girls to pick at or hide in. My problem is that they prefer to laying in the dirt. I've blocked their favorite places to try and convince them to move to the nesting boxes, but...
