    Chicken isnt growing her feathers back

    I'm not sure the exact measurements but they free range during the entire portion of the day, with access to the coop of course. I will definitely look into the chicken apron, thank you !

    Chicken isnt growing her feathers back

    She's about two years old, is a silver laced wyandotte, and has been like this for a while. Originally I assumed she was molting, and that her feathers would come back soon. Although some of her feathers have come back, certainly not a lot have. She's always been the quietest in the flock, and...

    Is this roundworm ?

    I give them a little scoop of corn and scratch per day that I like to spread out while they free range. I have given two of my chickens grapes recently, but that's it for fruits and vegetables. The hottest it's been recently is high 60s, but the heat did come on very fast.

It's far to high up for her to have flown into or against it though. The weather went from warm, to snowy and windy, to warm again (50s and...

    How many chickens can I keep ?

    As of right now, I have 6 adult chickens, but I am hoping to get 4 more this season. The outdoor area has 3 different sections, all of which are available for my hens all day. I have a large perch that I will be putting in soon, and I am planning on removing the boards by the end of the month...

    Hens comb is turning pale at the tips

    I noticed her comb has started to turn pale at the tips, so I was wondering if I should be concerned, and if there is anything I can do to help her. Besides keeping her distance from the rest of the flock, she seems to be acting normal, and is still eating and drinking.The photos are a little...

My silkie was raised with two other chickens, (breeds unknown, but my roosters a bantam) and they are just fine. But in the morning when I let them out, my three older...
