    Help me figure this out....

    Update tonight on my little hen: I gave her an egg today and she was interested in that. I got home tonight and I gave her another one. It's the only thing she'll eat! I then opened another egg and mixed it with a little chick food. I'm hoping that she's getting better. How soon should I dust...

    Question on Height for Coop

    I already do have chickens but this one I have had to separate b/c she's not happy with the others. she is a little disabled so the other chickens are just too much for her. She's my favorite little thing. I figure she can just hang with us and babysit the chicks we get out of the incubator as...

    Question on Height for Coop

    I have a friend who is going to make me my own little chicken house with attached run. This is going to be for a silky hen and any chicks we put in there. So in the figuring I need to have this tall enough so that a heat lamp can go on top. This coop will be outside and I live in the midwest...

    Need advice on using barn as chicken coop

    Sounds like a great plan to utilize a stall. All you have to do is add chicken wire so nothing gets in and they don't get out and your good to go. :)

    Help me figure this out....

    Update is that I did bathe Brownie for mites and lice. She looked like she might have some but not really many. I've continued on giving her what I've been giving her. No real change but she's a little more active and today I saw her pick at the food and I gave her an egg which she picked at. By...

    Help me figure this out....

    I have a beautiful little silky pullet who is about 6 months old. For the last two weeks she has been sleeping a lot and being anti-social. A week ago I brought her in to start giving her things to try to get her perked up. She's not worse and she's not any better. She won't eat. She won't...

    Hen can't use wings

    I've noticed that one of my hens (Goldilocks)seemed to be having some sort of seizure or something just once in awhile. Well I found her in the chicken coop one morning on her back. She couldn't seem to use her leg. However with some time and seeing it happen more often it seems to be her...

    Someone dropped off a starved almost dead cockeral *update

    I think it's a hen too. But only time will tell for sure. Amazing story. Our Cookie, polish crested roo learned how to go up the stairs to our bedroom loft with a broken wing mind you, last night. I put him back downstairs to sleep. Then this morning he was again upstairs and came over to my...
