    I did forget to tell you that in the winter, I put an A frame of plywood from the chicken enterance over to the run (it's about 10 feet away, and in the summer they have a 3' wide tunnel they go through to get to it) So, for the winter, I remove the 'tunnel' and replaced it with the plywood A...

    Thank you so much! I"m pretty close to the ocean, so it rarely gets lower than +10 or so here. Sometimes lower, but its' very odd. You're right on the wind though, that is a big thing here and I use the heat lamp figuring on the windchill rather than just the temp. I do get out for eggs at least...

    Hi all, Things are going great, maybe a little too great! I got my new order of chicks, and almost immediately, I ended up with some rescued "Easter" chicks from someone who had gotten them for their kids. (makes me crazy when people do things and don't think, but I just did and now I need...

    Odd, drooling chicken?

    I had one chicken being pecked. I peeped the offenders and bluekoted the pecked bum. It seems that under the pecked hens beak, and down the neck a little seems wet or oily. I had put it off to rubbing the bluekote soon after spraying, and with all the snow and rain it's been pretty wet here. It...

    Another feather questions, this is bad though.

    Thanks Chickengal and Tammeye. The 'pecker' is doing well in the rabbit cage and they all love having the light in there at the moment so all is well. Plus, everyone is happy with the 'pecker' in a seperate cage. Luckilly they have not taken to tormenting her or anything. Her buddy does stick...

    I don't think it's moulting. I"m actually seeing that white one peck at the others. She might be trying to prove who is boss, but it's way too much damage if she keeps up and starts on them all. It's two now, so she's in the rabbit cage to give me time to think and not just fly off the handle...

    Another feather questions, this is bad though.

    I hadn't thought of a heat lamp!! What a dork. I did put the White Roc in the rabbit cage for now because when I went out , she started pecking on another one too. I'll keep her in the rabbit cage till the blinders come but it might be 'soup pot time' for her. Pecking on two, I dont know if even...

    Another feather questions, this is bad though.

    I had 3 chickens, one ea, White roc, Buff Orphington, and RI Red. The Buff was got by a hawk. It's too cold here in winter for just the two, so I got 4 more from a friend, one RI Red, two some kind of Rocs, and a "we don't know". Well, one of the new Rocs had a bald spot at the back. My friend...
