    My 5 year old with her favorite Hen

    Here's a pic of my 5 year old with her favorite Hen named Peanut Butter, an Easter Egger that we rescued 2 years ago after she was dropped off in the woods with a few of her sisters... Who doesn't wear a tutu while playing with their pets?

    Safest/Easy exterior finish for coop? Pics

    I talked to a rep from Klean Strip today and instead of BLO he suggested Thompsons Water Seal. Said it would dry/evaporate much quicker and be easier to apply.....

    Safest/Easy exterior finish for coop? Pics

    What is the safest and easiest finish for the exterior of my coop? I was planning on using BLO or possibly Cabots Australian Timber Oil. How long do the chickens need to be removed from the coop/run after coating? I do not want to cause any harm to my chickens. Thanks! Mike

    Ameraucana hen has a crackle when breathing. Do I start on antibiotics?

    Pet Hen passed this a.m. What to tell 3 year old daughter?

    Pet Hen passed this a.m. What to tell 3 year old daughter?

After seeing a vet and getting her on antibiotics ahe responded very well, so well that she laid the first egg since I got her on Friday. I noticed last night that she was acting as if she was egg bound. I checked and could...

    Vets won't see/treat chicken or even sell needles for Pen G what a mess

    It might. I will go there and check. Over the phone they said the didn't. I live in Massachusetts and I know that in the past you couldn't buy needles steroid users would drive to RI to buy them. I know that some pharmacies now give needles to drug users so they don't spread disease... So if I...
