storm

Hey everyone! I was wondering what I should do with some stubborn chickens. Our coop is shaped like a triangle, so some of our chickens love climbing up the chicken wire and roosting on the top of the coop! This was fine with me until they continued roosting up there, even during bad storms. Our...

We just had quite a few very bad tornadoes in my town. A large chunk of my town is destroyed, and lickily where I live didn’t get hit and my chickens are okay, but the storms here were really bad and I was at work. I have three hens, two bantams and a polish, and they are all screaming their...

Some time last night the wind blew our coop over and one of my girls are limping pretty bad. Felt around for any breaks and I don't feel any BUT one leg is freezing cold & one is warm.... She does move it and curls toes and even steps lightly on it. What can I do for a sprain OR worst case, a...

Hi! Two days ago there was a big storm here and my chickens were all spooked! The worst two sufferers were my silkie chicks. One of them got herself stuck between two layers of the coop wall (unharmed) and the other one tried to escape and sliced off the back of her neck!! I patted her with a...
