So I went to care for my birds last night and noticed there were two stuck in between the dog house and the fencing (we use dog houses as extra space to sleep/rest/get out of the weather) when I pulled the dog house out one walked out completely normal and the other didn’t. They are about a...
So I absolutely love my chickens and I want them to be able to go out of their coop now that they are older and have seen the sights, but I’m super worried I won’t be able to get them back in their coop for the night. I can’t even catch them in a small contained area let alone out loose. I have...
Yes I will get some in a couple minutes! I’m glad to hear this. Their combs and wattles, look so much different then my other two, so that’s why we thought that.
Out of the 4 chicks I bought this year I’m pretty convinced these two are Roos. They are about 14-15 weeks. Their wattles and combs are much bigger and more red then my other two. Looking for second opinion. If you guys agree they are Roos is it ok to keep them together as I only have two hens...

We are gonna go get starter/grower feed and corid. All 4 are the same age. She’s the only one acting like this. She’s drinking water. Since I have her in my lap I brought the chick waterer and set it near me and she drank a normal amount.
Thank you! Yesterday and today I brought her in the house for a couple of hours and gave her very small bits of wheat bread, strawberries, tired banana but she wasn’t fond of that, and flour tortillas. She’s eaten quite a bit. I also took some out for the other chickens and she was still eating...
My 8-9 week old barred rock hen has been puffed up and sleeping for about 4 days. She has her tail really low and kind of a hunched back with her head tucked in. It’s been about 70 degrees during the day. She’s usually with the other chickens but she isn’t as active and not as interested in...
