(**UPDATE**) It's been 10 days since the injury. She's still alive and "well". Drinking, eating and pooping. Unfortunately her leg isn't doing any better. It's hard to tell what's healing and whats getting worse. Her bone is still exposed and despite the splints I put on, her leg is starting to...

I have to thank you for the hammock idea. I had wrapped the leg up with a splint and the poor thing was freaking out trying to walk and keep it's balance. I didn't know how to keep her out of her own poop or how to feed her water safely. I came on here hoping for answers and your hammock idea...

My puppy got a hold of my 4 month old polish chick and chewed it's leg. The bone sticks out when the leg is bent. The bone also appears to be fractured. I soaked the leg in salt water and flushed the wound under the tap. I shaved the area clean and now the leg is air drying. What should I do? I...

Thanks :) I think I'm leaning toward roo as well.

Okay so these 4 month old silkies are poor quality from tractor supply. I love them to death but this one is a mystery to me. The wattles are longer then the other silkie hens, yet shorter then the other silkie roosters. The hair on the top of its head is slicked back like a rooster would be...

We have a small bantam hen who's a year old. She used to lay 1 egg every day until she became broody. I let her sit on eggs for 30 days and then had her free roam again. She's been fine for 2 weeks, still not laying eggs but not broody either. This morning I woke up to hear her squaking her head...

Awesome! That's a nice plus :)

Thanks guys!! I have her quarantined and giving her lots of love and cuddles :) My partner and I love her!! I knew you guys would know the breed! Thank you so much :)

I own a bunch of chickens that free range my yard. I woke up this morning to find a new chicken in my yard with my chickens. I asked my neighbors if they knew who the chicken belonged to and they believe someone dropped it off at my place and left it. I'm not sure the breed or the sex so I was...

Okay so this isnt the sexiest coop in the world. I've never built anything in my life and I was using pallets I had to take apart. I'm working on the roof right now. I'd like the 2 triangles above the doors, the 1 in the front and the one in the back to be where I place the vents. The triangles...

A square with pitched roof. I should get pictures tomorrow. It'd probably help!

What would you guys recommend for vent size? My coop is 4'L x 3 1/2'W x 5' H and I plan on placing 2 vents on opposite sides on the coop. I'm in new england with long harsh snowy cold winters. I had 2 vents last winter that were only 2 inches by 4 inches and that wasn't enough to keep it from...

I know the guy that bred them into existence stopped breeding them because they were getting sunburn and that but you can still find them around. I really only want 1 of them to keep indoors with maybe a sweater. I'm going to use it as vegan awareness. I want people to see a live chicken that...

I'm looking for fully naked chickens!! Looking to have chicks or eggs shipped. Does anyone have any idea where I can find some? I've been googling but only see naked neck chickens. I'm in Maine, USA and looking to have them shipped to me. Thank you!

I only want 2 silkie hens but willing to buy 3 in hopes it'd keep the chicks more comfortable during shipping. Do you know of any website that will ship 3 baby chicks? So far the ones I've run into don't have any more silkies available for the summer. It'd be even better if I can find a farmer...
