    Chickens aren’t people. Their skin is a different biology than human skin and heal differently

    Is this a problem?

    I had a flock of 12 just last year but the predators were brutal 😔 in fact there’s this one fox in particular since the nicer weather hit who’s been all over my flock lately I haven’t been able to let them free range. Turns out the guy on the other side of the refuge i live on moved so now I’m...

    Is this a problem?

    M’y flock is now down to 3 hens and a rooster i used to have a male guinea who basically kept my rooster in check but a Fox got him a couple weeks ago. Holy personality change! The rooster now hops on whichever hen is closest whenever the mood strikes (a little too frequently if you ask me!) and...

    Well They’re No Orpington...

    I’m not home very much and we switched to a feeder bowl because they were going through their other feeder too quickly and then the other designs I bought were taking up too much space inside the coop I basically use one of those rubber feed buckets (5 gallon) and they get about 1 cup cracked...

    Well They’re No Orpington...

    Ok I had 2 of each of these kind but the predators this past fall brought my flock from 12 to 6 birds including my favorite girl Kung Fu Chicken 😭 one of each of these kind survived the winter (so far it IS New England after all!) so I know the rest of my flock is Orpington and a guinea cockerel...

    Sick Chicken

    I have 6 birds in a 6’x 4’ coop which according to the math is enough space and they have access to a 6’x 6’ run although they don’t use the run when there’s fresh snow on the ground. Their food consists of the mixed flocked pellets (I have a guinea cockerel), black oil sunflower seeds, and...

    Sick Chicken

    I think I have a sick chicken or she’s super stressed. She’s been a bit bullied and today I had to pull her from the coop because her comb was bleeding (someone took a small piece of it) and her comb is more pink than red which I had just assumed was weather related but now I have her in my...
