    do you have to take your chicks/ chickens to the vet ???

    I need to know more about your one legged chichen. I'm on the verge of having my own one legged chicken. She has a potential broken hip (refused sling, did poorly indoors in isolation, Happy with flock, built a ramp for her)

    Help! Our favorite chicken has injured hip??

    They eat layer crumbles, black oil sunflower seed, dry meal worms mixed. Sometimes, weekly, they get scrambled egg and watermelon rinds. Regarding Vit B, that's a very helpful suggestion thank you so much! Any vitamin B? There are so many. And just put it in water? Pre thanking you for the...

    Help! Our favorite chicken has injured hip??

    The vet didn't know without the x ray. They said "pain" in hip. I don't know how she could've gotten injured except from maybe the chicken ladder? It's an omlet ladder

    Chicken Friendly Plants - in the desert!

    After fighting mounds of chicken poop all over our already small yard, we decided to give them a dedicated space away from our green grass. It's been 10 days and they've pretty much murdered the lawn on their side so we've decided to just let them have it. They have a 6x6 run and about 200 sq ft...

    Chicken POOP management for free range?

    Can you please explain this process? Maybe it's straight forward but I might be missing something. No, it isn't much space imo to ignore it. With their sand area, about 120 sq ft, it's easy to pick up the poop with a rake sifter and it takes about 3 minutes. I put the picture. But, with wet...
