    If Chickens Eat Wild Birds...

    I don't have an answer but I agree about the ick factor! I went out to feed our 4 month old pullets and found them playing football with the carcass of a baby wren I was very watchful over them for a few days but they all appear fine still, several weeks later.

    Giant red spot???

    Could they be rubbing on something? Like reaching through a fence or over a board? Is the spot in the same place on the other chickens?

    7 week old dominique pullet or cockerel?

    Photos #1 & #2 are shots of one of our Dominiques.-3 and 5 are one of the pullets.

Actually the tail feathers are what...

    Ideas, suggestions needed! New to raising chickens and we could really use some advise on a coop.

    De worming?

    My 5 Week Chick Has a Bump on Chest

    I was concerned about my chicks having the same thing. For me it turned out to be just full crops- In the evening, they would eat and eat and get large full crops, by morning they are gone- empty crops. So if it changes from night to morning it should a normal chicken thing. If it stays, it...

    Mama Heating Pad in the Brooder (Picture Heavy) - UPDATE

    I just wanted to share our MHP setup, girls are a week old now and feathering nicely. We've had it arranged a few different ways, I accidentally ordered the extra long heating pad so there is some over hang. Have the cloth cover wrapped in good old press n seal. For the 1st few days I had the...

    Thank you for the welcome! I will try to take some pictures but I am discovering that it is difficult to photograph chickens, lol.

    Our coop.

    Love it! Did you use pallet or reclaimed wood? It has such a nice weathered patina.
