    sick chicken?

    Ok I appreciate the advise. She's probably one of the meanest chickens I've ever had but I would hate to lose her because she's a great layer hen. She attacks me everytime I go in the coop. Lol

    sick chicken?

    Ok so what about the diarrhea? I noticed one bowel movement today that was green. So I'm thinking coccidiosis? But would that cause the neurologic symptoms? I've been a veterinary technician for 12 years so my mind automatically thinks the worst but I don't work with chickens so I really have no...

    sick chicken?

    So yesterday I noticed my 2 year old buff orpington hen showing some strange neurological symptoms. She was twisting her head around as if confused maybe and if she put her head back to far she would fall back on her rear end. Looking up videos of newcastle disease it seemed to be exactly what...

    Coop?

    The reality is (in my opinion at least) is that a coop can be as simple or as complex as you wanna make it. Chickens don't care how fancy it is or how much money you spent on it. As long as they have shelter when the weather is bad, they have enough room to roam and they are protected from...

    Coop?

    I bought one almost identical to that one and sold it before I ever even put my birds in it. It was too small and not very durable. I put the money towards making my own.

    post your chicken coop pictures here!

    Been away for a while and I don't remember if I ever posted a picture of my coop. Built it from the ground up. Got a really good deal on materials from a friend that works at a hardware store. Just added some new welded wire mesh and reinforced it with some more wood at the bottom to keep the...

    My first egg!

    My first egg!

    Ive always heard that orpingtons have a nice temperament and mine seem to be pretty friendly now but a couple months ago they were the biggest bitches in the flock. Pardon the language. My dark brahmas are the sweetest birds i have. They love human interaction.

    My first egg!

    So after a long journey i finally have my first egg! My first flock of four birds 2 years ago died of heat stroke and my last flock of 6 birds were all killed by my dog after he broke into the coop that i spent a month building. But despite all the disappointment from my previous attempts i...
