    Dear friends, I have a lovely little rooster that I need to give away to someone who has a home with a yard outside of city limits (or who is willing to readily dispatch of said rooster and send him to the pot – without telling me). He is a sweet Lavender Orpington, 5 months old, a perfect...

    Chickens won't roost in coop & New babies who visited outside won't settle down

    I have 4 chickens who live outside and have lived in their coop for nearly a year. We have a combined coop/run, and they ALWAYS go to bed inside the coop. Until last night, when they decided to perch outside, shunning one chicken who slept in the coop by herself. Now, again, they are outside, in...

    Lavender Orpington: Pullet or Roo?

    I'm trying hard to not get attached to this incredibly flighty little lavender orpington, because I can't tell if it's a he or a she. She's around 4 weeks old, and I'm sure its probably too early to tell, but I thought I'd give it a go and see what the resident chicken experts think. (The Rhode...

    Baby Chicks and essential oils

    Will I kill my baby chicks if I diffuse essential oils in the house? Specifically the DoTerra Breathe blend? My husband has a cold and could benefit from it, but I don't want to compromise the chicks in any way. I'm such an anxious chicken mama!

    Listless chicken with intermittent diarrhea and weight loss

    I know. I'm glad she's not suffering. I just had no idea how heartbreaking it would be to lose my chicky baby. :(

    feeding cabbage

    I just hung a head of cabbage from the top of the coop for my girls and they want nothing to do with it, and are absolutely terrified of the whole setup. You should have seen the gymnastics they pulled off to get into their henhouse tonight! It was hysterical with my honking Welsummer calling...

    Listless chicken with intermittent diarrhea and weight loss

    I took her to the emergency vet and they gave her fluids intravenously and orally, but I think she aspirated the oral ones because before I even got home she was dead, and when I picked her up, all the fluid and some pink stuff just came pouring out of her mouth and smelled so terrible. I'm so...

    Listless chicken with intermittent diarrhea and weight loss

    She perked up for a day or two on Corid, but now is weak and listless and i found her sitting in a mix of watery and black tarry poop in her brooder this afternoon. She's been eating but is down to 13 oz now. (yesterday she was 13 5/8, day before 14 1/2). Im at a loss. She's dying and I can't...

    Listless chicken with intermittent diarrhea and weight loss

    She's eating, but doesn't like to drink. I think she doesn't like the taste of the antibiotic water I had been giving her, but I've been syringe feeding her water to get the antibiotics in her and she's been scarfing down watermelon, so she's staying hydrated. She perked up for a day or so on...
