    I need help managing an angry chicken

    Should we put them in the coop together but keep one under a cage? We put Black in front of the coop and put a barrier so she had to see Red for about an hour. And Red stayed right up front so she could see Black the whole time. I think she wants her companion back.

The mites were...

    Cleaning mites from chicken

    Hi everyone! One of my chickens was infested with Northern fowl mites. We were able to kill the mites with diatomaceous earth but she clumps on her wings still. We assume it's their larvae. Does anyone know how to clean the clumps off? Do we clean each one individually with water and soap or...

    Advice on lathargic chicken

    I have 2 chickens and no rooster, so my girl won't have babies. Is being broody something she will get over given time? Does it mean she is in heat, like a cat or dog? She was a rescue (she was running around an apt complex) so I don't know what breed she is. I tried to upload a photo once but...
