    can someone please help??My BO hen is sick and a favorite!

    I would keep her isolated, especially from a broody momma and chicks. Research gapeworm. Best of luck.

    Sick Rooster.. no response... PLEASE HELP ME TO HELP HIM!

    scratch'n'peck : I think if he had something caught in his throat he would be actually stretching his neck forward and opening his mouth repeatedly. That is what the poor hen who was suspected of having gape worm was doing. Unfortunately she did turn out to have a tumor. To keep him...

Depending on the size of the hawk, they will generally not go after a full...

    Listing supplies needed for start-up with layer chickens

    So your looking to spend $880 on that coop. It's pretty costly, and small, too small for 7 regular size birds. With minimals skills, or assistance you could probably build something sturdier that would cost less. Initially, I can't think of anything needed for your list that wasn't already...
