But Whatever you feel is right is basically the best you can do, you know? This is trauma and everyone and every chicken may...

    I love advice @TropicalBabies ! I'm so green! Pictures are there for your judgment :) very much appreciated. Yeah, when Kurka was a city chicken (before the coop was built outside) she used to perch and roost at night, in the nice warm / dry house. But ever since she moved outside she loves...

    Any other hawaiians out there?

    Hello! New Hen Mom, the cat brought it home ....

    We've got 2 dogs, 7 cats and now the chicken - we've trained everyone NOT to hurt the chicken so we all play in the yard together. It's great but definitely need more feather friends.
