    3 hens in need of very good home in North Texas (DFW area)

    I am moving to California for work next month, and this breaks my heart but I have to re-home my 3 sweet hens. It is very important for me to find them a loving home! A little about the hens: 1 is an Easter Egger around four years old, 1 is a black star around one and a half years old, and 1...

    Very sudden death in young hen

    My red star hen died extremely suddenly yesterday with no symptoms whatsoever - I mean literally zero warning. She had been laying well and was very energetic that morning. My mother had gone by the house to let them out to free range in the afternoon, and she said the hen was happily running...

    What's wrong

    What's wrong

    If she is truly molting, which is what it looks like, you should soon be able to see her little pin feathers coming through on the bald spots, so just keep an eye on it.

    Limping Chicken

    Could it be bumblefoot? Is there a scab or lesion on the bottom of the foot? Is it swollen?

    Where do nesting boxes need to be and what to put in them?

    Mine dig in their coop bedding too They are just messy and like to dig. I use shavings and chopped straw. My nesting boxes are built into the inside of the coop, so they are the same "height" as the coop floor, just sectioned off. The fake eggs should "train" them to lay in the nesting boxes.
