    That’s the picture I took yesterday. Momma ate a lot of the hoop around her. She was moving for a while then died. ☹️

    Finally hatching... and all 3 died!

    Momma has not left them except for a quick second to get a drink. I’ve been giving her food Bc she never leaves to eat. I’m in New Jersey, and it’s warm summer weather. I noticed another one starting this morning. I’m leaving to go out for a few hours. So I hope I find another dead chick later...

    One of my Salmon faverolles went broody. I got her some fertilized eggs and let her sit. Candled around day 10. Wasn’t sure what I was looking for but soon saw some veining. Day 19 I find a dead chick. Day 20 two more hatched and are quickly dead. Help !

    Lost two girls last night but don’t know what did It....

    It was raining hard last night and when we closed the door I’m afraid some of the bedding was in the track and there may have been a small opening we didn’t notice. That’s how they open It. Not a mistake we’ll make again. The wire fencing Around the whole run is about 3 square inches, but the...

    Help! Mean rooster

    This came out of nowhere for sure. He has not been aggressive toward us. And seems to pick mostly on my salmon favarelles. They are so sweet. I put him in the smaller coop and may just leave him there for a while. We have 5 children, the last thing I need is another moody teen ;)

    Chickens have all gotten sick

    I unfortunately don’t have the remains. We didn’t want them around bc I didn’t know what the cause was. Feed doesn’t sit around long enough to get moldy. I keep wracking my brain do there is something toxic. I didn’t fertilize my garden. Anything else is locked up in the sheds. I’m so worried...
