mine is having this same problem any info would be appreciated

she was fine this morning out with her mama, and then when i go back out i couldn't find her, i looked for a while and found her laying away from the rest of the chickens still alive enough to run away from me, i caught her and put her in a cardboard box thinking that she just needed water and a...

I went out to the coop this morning and found what looks like intestines in the nest box(they sometimes sleep in there) all of the hens are up and walking, none are missing, any suggestions?

My Guess is 9,999 WOO HOO This is gonna be fun!

i stumbled onto this link on craigslist!!!!! i am going to make some!!! http://www.farmandgardencarpentry.com/wordpress/diychicken-feeder/

for sure!

if you don't put heat in there to start with they will adapt to the cold weather. if you have a heat source in the coop and the power goes out it could send them into another molt in the middle of winter which would be very bad

can you give a better pic of the chickens body? oh and

sounds like she is feeling better! keep us posted

i have two hens just like this. do you happen to know what breed they are? or this one? (this girl needs to go through a molt! ^^^ she got pretty beat up from our last roo. as she was his favorite!!! )

seeing as i don't have a pic of them, these are their sisters. if you are interested message me and let me know that you messaged me one of them will ride on your shoulder with no problem they really do like people, after you catch them.

that is interesting! thanks for the update!

mine are about 24 weeks one of their combs is starting to turn red so maybe its only a matter of time! YAY!

i have looked everywhere it seems for eggs... (they are hired for easter!) they all seem to be themselves. our neighbors horse was attacked by a coyote about a week and a half ago so i know they are in the area.

my pullets were laying really well also. will they go through the molt at the same time?
