    Hen with wobbly gait, clear diarrhea

    It's very good to know! My hens went through the worst molt I've ever seen this year. So much bare skin, just clearly feeling really crummy. It's the first time I've ever seen molting hens looking worse than just being kind of grumpy/uncomfortable. I didn't realize it could extend to being...

    Hen with wobbly gait, clear diarrhea

    Wow, I've never heard of this as a symptom of molting!

    Glad she's continuing to improve!

    Help, something wrong with chickens foot.

    Gotcha. Just making sure she was still getting some natural light and fresh air.

    Is she getting any sunshine?

    Help, something wrong with chickens foot.

    I'm so sorry she's not doing better. Is all you've done so far put vaseline on her legs? Have you given any medications or used any other product?

    How do I get two roosters to share a new coop?

    Also, if people seemed a little intense, it's partly because roosters who seemingly get along well (with a few hiccups) while free ranging can get really brutal when confined to a smaller space/coop. Having to be in each others' space + no way to escape for the less dominant can turn bloody, and...

    How do I get two roosters to share a new coop?

    Sounds like a great solution! I think having two run/coop sections is a great set-up. Like I wrote earlier, I think that being in separate runs but seeing each other all the time really helped my two roosters chill out toward each other. (No guarantees, naturally, for any other roosters).

    Leg Injury or something else?

    It's good that you have a vet appointment. It's also good that she's still eating and drinking normally. I hope that it might just be a slipped tendon and that there might be some treatment plan. I had a hen with leg issues similar to what you're describing (though not the thing of stepping on...

    7-month Welsummer not laying?

    Chickens respond to the amount of daylight, not necessarily the temperature. I have several Welsummers and around November they're all like "Closed for the season!". They typically lay from February to November, then nothing until the next February. If she's otherwise healthy acting, you might...

    How do I get two roosters to share a new coop?

    I had two "mini-flocks" in the same run, but with a partition down the middle so they could see each other. After two years of this set-up, some switch flipped in the roosters' brains and all of a sudden they just didn't scrap with each other anymore and now hang out all the time and roost...

    Rooster aggression help?

    I do think that it depends on your setup and situation. I have a very young niece. At the time that Bernard (the rooster who attacked me) was still on the more aggressive side, I always made sure he was in the run when she came to visit. I rarely have unexpected visitors, and my chickens are...

    Rooster aggression help?

    If you don't want to cull these roosters, you need to create a situation (like a penned in grazing area/run/etc) where they cannot get at people. I still have the rooster who sneak attacked me, and he has seriously mellowed since that time and I never have issues with him anymore. But at the...

    How do I get two roosters to share a new coop?

    A few years ago, my Poppy would ruthlessly chase my older rooster, Bernard, away. At this point, they are literally cuddled together every night. But I didn't push it. Over time their feelings about each other mellowed, and now they can be in the same roosting area. But I've always had two...
