I have rescued 3 battery hens. Two have settled with my original 4.The last one is molting and was being picked on so we have separated her from them. She lives on our deck and comes in side and is quite relaxed around us following me around like a puppy, my question is, she's making a quite...

Thanks never thought about the rugby, maybe they just want to be up in time to watch the games:)

Thank you for that I'm certain it's not mites,I use a dust sprinkled under the bedding, and was advised that during Winter (we live in New Zealand) mites are not a problem, but we do have a problem with rodents. Not using poison due to chickens they are laughing at our traps. Many thanks again...

Hi my 38 week old girls used to roost in their coup but last couple of nights have refused to roost in there. Preferring to stay out in all weathers roosting on a fence. We had five girls but a few days ago we had to have one put to sleep. They really didn't go near her much and she slept on the...

Poop runny. Does not eat as much as the others. Same age as the others but smaller.

I thought I had sent a reply but it's disappeared. She has all those symptoms. What is wrong with her and is it treatable? Many thanks

very bad photo but she is leaning again the rock. Sorry new to this I should have posted this photo with my question. 34 weeks old.under matured comb and waggle.Hasn't laid an egg. Stays aloof from other hens. Free range. Leans against things. Looks miserable. Her shape of her neck very...

Ive seen only tthethree of the girls using it,, they are the three that are laying. The other two, I'm worried they are not getting enough food, I'd hate to starve them.

I got the feeder about 10 days ago, spent yesterday every hour on the hour going to it, putting my finger on it for it to ooen, the girls just kept jumping onto the table and looked me in the eyes and said go on then, do your magic. Today did it once, went out came home to find my clever clever...

Im feeling your pain, good luck

Just watched the video Hholly, thank you very much.

i have 5 hybrids, two started laying on 13th July. The other three nothing, they were supposed to all have been 15 weeks old went i got them,, very dubious about that now, it means they are 28 weeks old, one is near im sure, but not the other two. Good luck everyone
