    Comb turning grey

    I went out to check on her this morning. She was bent over head first in the coop. I picked her up and she was breathing but very weak and couldn't keep hers open long. I checked to see if she was bound and she was. I removed her from the coop, put together a box (holding her the entire time)...

    Constantly pecking at each other

    I introduced 4 new chicks to a flock of 3 hens earlier this spring. Initially, the hens were slow to accept the new chicks and would not let them in the coop at night. Being in a colder environment, I would manually place them in the coop at night to keep them out of the cold at night. As the...

    Hello Fellow Backyard Chicken Farmers

    My name is George. I live in Westminster CO, a suburb of Denver. I currently have 3 adult hens and 4 chicks that are roughly 13 weeks old. The adult hens are just over a year old and have been rather good egg layers since about the age of 6 months. I can't tell you the breeds of each chicken...
