    First time with Brooding Hen

    My smallest hen Brownie is laying on 4 eggs! Were so excited but this is a first for us. I have 2 attentive friendly roosters (well, they never challenge me in the pen and I do not fear them at all) I have 4 other hens as well. I marked the 4 eggs with a crayon so I would know any other eggs...

    Chicken cant walk (permentantly disabled??)

    oh ok good to know on the Vit B I will try that. there is nothing I can do about her getting lonely, I can put her back in her section of the pen on nice days, maybe a blanket on the ground?

    Chicken cant walk (permentantly disabled??)

    had a "runt" of the flock that at about 2 weeks wouldn't stand up. thought she was being trampled and/or bullied by the other ones so I separated her. shes about 3 months old now and still cant stand. Took her to the vet, he feels its neurological and she was born with it. I have been giving her...

    Securing Chain Link Doors

    can anyone help with securing chain link door on my pen? I have used a large dog run that my husband modified to have a pitched roof. I have wrapped the whole pen in galvanized small hole wire (learned the hard way on what can reach thru it) and I have done the ground all around it with 18inches...
