    Sitting chicken, need help

    My Rhode Island Red is about 9 months old, and is just sitting down in the run, she can walk, but just sits in the dirt and does not peck around. I looked at her vent could not see anything unusual, but have no idea what to look for. She does not seem to have runny eyes, or is completly...

    What are you willing to pay?

    I have no building experience and so rely on outside help. I looked at and priced a number of chicken coops in my area, I ended up with a prefab coop with some custom changes. The coop is 5x8 and big enough for 10 chickens, I had a chicken "tack" room built to store feed and treats that is an...

    do I need a ladder?

    My new coop came in and the roosts are lower than the nest boxes, so after reading BYC I am going to raise it higher to 44 inches, do they need a ladder? I have four birds, two marans, a leghorn, a Rhode Island Red, and I getting a Delaware tomorrow, so pretty good size birds.

    I'm making a free flock management system

    This is great, I was hoping for something like this. I use plangarden.com, started with the free version and it is well worth the $20.00 a year upgrade price. I would like it to be something like that, internet based, info stored in the cloud as computers crash, and something super easy to use...

    run and grape arbor combo

    My coop is coming today, it is 5X8 with a 5x6 custom designed chicken "tack" room to store their food and stuff. When I figure out how to use my new camera I will post some pictures. I will be attaching the run 4X7 foot run I used with the tractor for now, but I want to get a few more chickens...

    My girls won't eat their greens

    I recently got chickens, I have four in a 4x6 chicken tractor with an attached 4x7 run. I was moving it around the yard, but it was really tearing up the grass, so I currently have it parked in a space I want to prep for a garden bed. I ordered a bigger coop and will be moving the chickens to...

    Newbie from Eugene Oregon

    I got two hens and a chicken tractor, waterers, and a bag of feed a few months ago on Craiglist for $50.00. I forgot to ask how old the chickens were, and they were not laying much, and one had diarrhea, so I gave them away and bought three new ones whom I knew the age and who are healthy, Two...
