    B12 deficiency...eggy solution?

    Hello, Flock! Greetings from the Fleet (Orpington booties look like sailing ships...duh!). I (a human person) have been struggling with mysterious symptoms for some years now at 25 years old. I finally might have an answer...a vitamin B12 deficiency! I will be starting supplements but would...

    Mischievous Hens

    Update: Please excuse my delay in updating, as things have been hectic. With your help, I was able to modify my prefabricated coop to accommodate my... voluptuous ladies. This also coincided with the passing of the solstice, so it's unsure what played apart or what the exact solution was...

    Wow, that is so generous of you! Also--great article! I have attached photos (including of the feathers all over). I will check them again for pests this weekend, and I have seen no bullying.

Your roosting bar height comment makes perfect sense to me; even though the bars are technically high off the ground, they are...

    Dog and chicken

    Thank you! He has been so good with them since day one that I've become complacent. He's been going through a mood these last couple of days... I think I need to take him to the vet honestly. After the incident when we went inside he kept barking at me. This is a dog that has never barked in his...

    😭 Thank you. I am a new chicken owner (raised these ladies from day one about five months ago) and I haven't encountered anything like this yet!

    Dog and chicken

    Buff Orpington - Normal weight, 5 months I have a fenced in backyard and free roaming chickens. I looked outside and, from a distance, saw my dog had a chicken in his mouth. I immediately ran outside and commanded him to drop it. He did. I secured the dog and went out to the chicken. I...
