    They free range so have grass, bugs, etc. I also given them chicken scratch in the mornings and then they have Purina layer pellets. Main symptoms is standing or laying with eyes closed. No panting. Some diarrhea

    The breeds have died are a Barnevelder, Cream legbar and a black australorp. The ones that are not doing well are several different breeds as well. Yes it does seem to be heat I would think, Giving them electrolytes and have a fan on them as well in the shade. Anything else to help them?

    Homeowner's Association Battle in Baton Rouge

    We have had our 3 hens for a little over a year now. I checked my association rules before we got them and I did miss the part about no poultry. In EBRP you can have 3 hens legally. I am now in the process of amending the bylaws or asking for variance. I have talked to all my surrounding...

    Broody Hen

    Coop isn't big enough for the cage. Yeah, I thought something could get her. We have a secure storage area that they couldn't get it into. I'll move her in there at night... THanks for response!!

    Broody Hen

Should I put here in with the others at night or is it safe to keep her contained in cage at night. I'm worried about possums and raccoons. We have had a few...
