    Hello all, Thought I'd share with you my latest coop run design. We had a problem with an ermine recently and I had to completely tear down the old run and build a new one (below). The link is for more pics & details on construction. http://www.shackvalley.com/new-chicken-coop-run/ Hope...

    Sick Rooster. Please Help!

    Hi All, We lost our rooster Al this morning. So very sad. He was a good bird. I just wanted to thank everyone for their help. It's nice to know there are people out there that will take the time to give advice to a stranger. A speedy recovery to all chickens! RIP Al (Alexander) Dave

    Sick Rooster. Please Help!

    Sick Rooster. Please Help!

    Hi, A couple of things to add: 1. His stool is very runny with no blood 2. He does not eat or drink. 3. Most of the time he is standing. 4. His comb and wattle appear to be normal in color. Maybe a bit on the dark side. I know this question is a dime a dozen but please help me diagnose...

    Hello All, Yesterday my wife noticed our only rooster laying down in the coop and being unresponsive. We separated him from the flock and put him in a dog kennel inside the house. I combed through his feathers to check for mites and I did see one. Just one. We've had a problem in the past with...
