My brother hen has been abused by their temp rooster. So she is coming to my coop for a while. He has pecked her eye and I think it’s gone now. But her comb is also worry some to me. I have 4 teens and 2 babies currently the free range my city yard. The new hen is a free range county gal. All...

Is his toes okay in picture #4?

thank you.

All 4 of my older (2.5 months) teens got moody 2 days ago just out of the blue. I think it’s because we were working on the coop and had the door shut and they were in run and they think it’s living right to free range the back yard at their pleasure. being smart they knew if the picked on him...

I never thought is was possible to really enjoy bird so much!!!!

I’m not sure if my baby Roo (Britches) injured his comb. Is this a bruise (pic attached). Should I do anything to it? It seems like it might be a bit swollen. But not 100%.

Well apparently my back yard isnt “cool” enough or they just want in the house with the rest of the pets this morning.

I have 4 teenager gals and 2 babies (1 roo & 1 Gal). Their coop is is 4’x 7’ x 5’. With an attached full in closed run that is 12’ x 7’ and 7’ tall. They have perch’s. Mirro. Toys. Food and water in the run. I have been letting the children out to free range my yard in the morning and they stay...

I used the lining that you would for shower walls. Comes is thin sheets 8x4. It plastic.

I have fully and successfully merged my Aprox 2.5 month olds (4 gals) with close to 3 week olds (roo & Gal). I have a fully closed in coop with attached run all done with 1/2” hardwire. Door gaps are much smaller than the hardwire ( my thought. rodents would work through the wire b4 the door 😁)...

Thank u so much for feed back. I pray Britches is a gentleman. Bc my love is deep for him and really want to keep him. But will not be able to at the expense others getting beat up. My gals don’t need protection they are city gals that free range the backyard.

Here is my baby. 2 last pic are 2 weeks ago.

I have been blessed with many things in my life but patience & social life aren’t among them... so when I’m maxed out in those 2 files... I go to my happy place— my chickens! They are my Xanax. 💕 pictures of my flock!!! I have 6 total. 2 reds (2.5 months old), to black & whites (2.5 months...
