    Fencing Issue/ Problem

    Nice hen! A net unfortunately will not work. My fenced area that my hens roam is probably 1/4 acre.

    Fencing Issue/ Problem

    Good morning all! I have a couple of issues that I am working on in my chicken yard. My girls have a wonderful chicken coop with an enclosed run for nighttime. They also have a very large fenced in yard that they roam in during the day. Plenty of room! One problem I have is I have a few hens...

    Strange behavior with my Black Star today-

    Hello. I forgot this post was up here :) This hen is alive and well. We ended up buying Corid at a farm and ranch store. We brought the hen in the house and would give her a mixture of water and corid through an eye dropper for a few days. We would also try to give her applesauce. After a few...

    Strange behavior question.

    Hello fellow chicken keepers. I have a strange dilemma and I can't seem to figure this out. Background information: I have four hens who are 1 year old- all different breads. My black star hen managed to get coccidiosis. I didn't have a vet confirm this- no vet in the area. I did lots of...

    No- I never have. They are one year old this month and I have four chickens.

    Strange behavior with my Black Star today-

    OK- I just went to check on her and she is standing up under a bush. She doesn't move, she just cracks her eyes and looks at me and then closes her eyes again. No movement. I'm not sure how to check her crop, but I messaged above the breast, and then the same with my other chickens and it...

    Strange behavior with my Black Star today-

    She shouldn't be cold today. It is almost 60 degrees and this is a heat wave from the 12 to 36 degree temperature we had yesterday. Her feathers are fluffed, but she feels light. Not sure what her poop looks like today, but her vent looks fine.

    Strange behavior with my Black Star today-

    When I cleaned the poop board at noon today, I noticed a small amount of egg yolk on the board. I didn't clean the poop board the day before due to laziness on my part and the cold weather. Do you think she may be egg bound?

    Strange behavior with my Black Star today-

    her comb looks fine and she looks "puffy" today. Her behavior is really strange. I'll make sure she makes it to the coop tonight for bed and hope for a better day tomorrow.

    Strange behavior with my Black Star today-

    Hello all. I have noticed some unusual behavior with my Black Star hen today. She is a year old this month. We noticed this morning when we let them out to free-range, she was still roosting in the coop. She came down and ate and as always, joined the clan and explored the yard. I took...

    Yuck! Cleaning rain barrels- please help

    Thank you for your advise. This is the first year that we have a rain barrel and we have enjoyed it very much. Still learning. I think this weekend's project is to make a screen for it. I hope to connect another rain barrel to it next year. It is amazing how much water you can collect!

    Yuck! Cleaning rain barrels- please help

    I use my rain water for watering my garden which isn't producing now anyways- so I drained it. I thought Clorox would be too strong, but I see your point. For this instance, I would rather be sanitary, than organic. I use dunk sticks, but have never had any other trouble before now. I guess I...
