    Fatty liver disease

    My girls are extremely spoiled. They would get cucumbers, chopped up kale, watermelon and chopped tomatoes EVERY morning. But after reading an article online it appears that this could have been a cause of the issue? The article said that since the chickens would eat all the goodies, they...

    Fatty liver disease

    Fatty liver disease

    Hi all. My sweet 2 year old went to the vet because she has been ill. The vet suspects fatty liver disease. I keep reading that vitamins (specifically biotin) are good in helping prevent this in the others and possibly keeping my girls current situation "in check" (as much as possible). What do...

    Owning chickens in Exeter Township, Pennsylvania?

    Hi everyone ! I'm looking at a house in Exeter township and I have 5 hens. Any update on the laws? Another place I've found that allows them is Muhlenberg Township. I've actually spoken to the zoning guy myself. All you have to do is get a permit.

    Link to telling sex of Rhode Island Red Rooster and Hens

    Here I am 3 months later still not knowing if this is a he/she. I call it my "special needs chicken" because there legitimately is something mentally wrong with it. It trips over its own feet, tries drinking like a dog, constantly shakes and wobbles when walking. (this is the one we rescued who...

    Rhode Island Red... Roo or hen?

    I hear ya!!! If he wasn't such a sh*tty person and if I didn't love this little Chickie, I would drop it off on his door step. It's going to break my heart to have to rehome one of the roos!

    Rhode Island Red... Roo or hen?

    Ugh. I was worried that he was lying about it being from the same batch. He assured me it was. So good thing that it was healthy but bad that it's a roo. I can't keep both (I only have 4 hens) and will have to make the horrible choice of picking one to rehome

    Rhode Island Red... Roo or hen?

    In early May we got 2 RIR chicks. They are now approx 4 months old. We can clearly tell their sex. In July I asked the same guy if I could buy another hen. He said he only had one left because foxes killed the other 20+ that he had. So he brings me the only one he had left. The picture below...
