    Molting? Feathers everywhere!!!!

    Thanks!! We tried to give her some meat and fish, but she won't eat any of it. We will keep trying. I had to put her in a pen by herself, because the other hens were not being to nice to her. It is a good sized pen, it is covered and has a roost in it. If it gets too cold I will turn the heat...

    Molting? Feathers everywhere!!!!

    I have an Ameracauna, in the last few days she has lost ALOT of feathers. It does not look like she is molting, it looks like she is either pulling her feathers out or they are just falling out. I put her in another pen away from the other hens, because she seems to always be the one who gets...

    Went out to check the girls a little while ago and found one of my Austrlorps dead under the roost. Picked her up and saw that her entrails were hanging out about 2 feet, there was blood on the roost. There are no signs of any animal digging around or in the chicken pen. My pen is enclosed with...

    What vine to put around coop

    My husband and I just planted some grape vines and a blue berry bush along the side of our chicken pen, to provide some shade, and to give them some grapes to eat. I guess in a year they will be able to eat some grapes!

    Question about chicken feed

    I have some left over Purina Start and Grow (medicated) feed from when my hens were chicks, it has been kept in my house, and sealed up. My hens are around 9 months old now, and are eating regular chicken feed. I wanted to know if I could mix this left over Start and Grow with their regular...

    Hen laying eggs at night from the roost

    My hens only like 3 of our nest boxes, and those get used all the time! The egg I found this morning was cracked, so I am sure one of the hens laid it while up on the roost. I can't figure out why though. I have 2 ameracanas who are not laying right now, I know one had gone broody and then she...

    Hen laying eggs at night from the roost

    Today is the second day I have found an egg on the floor of my chicken coop. I think one of my hens is laying eggs at night from the roost. I have found the eggs right below the roost where they sleep at night. Not really sure who is doing it and why. I have six nest boxes, (eight hens) and they...
