    Small orpington chi

    Sorry for the repeat post. But I do want to add that we do have a heat plate that we leave on 24/7 and she did use it overnight but was out from under it this morning. Im afraid she's probably a runt and might not make it.

    Small orpington chi

    Just an update: I went out a couple of hours ago to do another chick check and she was laying on her side breathing very shallow. Her eyes were closed and I thought she was dead. I picked her up and when I did she spammed and her neck jerked backwards and she has all the signs of wry neck. I got...

    Small orpington chi

    Hi everyone, I got a small mixed breed shipment of one day old chicks yesterday from Meyer Hatchery. All arrived in good shape. I ordered six standard and six bantams. One of the standards that I ordered is a buff Orpington. My question is that the buff is so much smaller than the other standard...

    Adult chicken integration advice needed

    I never thought of it that way. It's good to know that it might be a good thing after all. I really appreciate all of your help. I'll be giving it a try then. As soon as I get brave enough that is. Thanks again.

    How do you think they'll handle still having two coops to deal with?

    Adult chicken integration advice needed

    Hi all, I need some advice on if an integration of 2 small adult flocks might be possible without setting myself up for some major problems. I currently have one very large heavy duty dog run that is divided in half with each half having their own coop. The coops are both on the small size...

    Crows are hanging around my coop. Is this a problem?

    I have 2 ravens that have a nest a couple of hundred yards from my coop and run. I used to keep my egg gathering basket hanging on a hook outside the run to keep handy since I have 2 separate runs that I collect eggs from. The basket has a dish towel in the bottom to help protect the eggs from...

    Ravens stealing eggs?

    It's looking like it's probably ground squirrels. I thought it might have been ravens since I've seen them hanging around the run. Thanks so much for the reply! 😁

    Ravens stealing eggs?

    I didn't think so. I don't think it's the chickens because one of the eggs that were eaten was found a few feet outside the run. I was hoping it wouldn't be the ground squirrels but it seems like that might be the case. I was actually hoping it was the raven. They've been getting the neighbors...

    Ravens stealing eggs?

    Hi all, I have what I thought was a pretty secure run. But twice this month I've lost eggs. The first was an eaten egg in the nesting box inside the coop. I figured one of the hens ate it but haven't had any problems like that for a couple of weeks. So I come home from the store today, went to...

    Review on the OverEZ coop kit

    I also got an OverEZ and am not happy with it. We've had to adjust the rooting bar. We got a 2×4's and did almost the exact same thing as far as adapting the higher roost and building a lower one abovevthe pop door. This coop will not house 15 full size birds, IMO, and buyer really needs to...
