    How long can a chicken go without food/water? (Bad, guilty owner)

    I have to agree with you. Thank God we do learn. I am so thankful that my pet buff is still alive. I still can't figure out why, but she is that is all that matters to me. I don't know how she got trapped under the tub. The only thing I can figure that her body went in to stasis of some kind...

    How long can a chicken go without food/water? (Bad, guilty owner)

    Last week I had a medical emergency that landed me in the hospital for 4 days. Before I went to the ER, I put my dogs in their dog yard, and let the chickens out of the coop. I couldn't stand the idea of them being without a chance for food and water if they kept me . They kept me, however, my...

    Comment by 'liliyfield' in item 'Wyandotte'

    I love the pea comb of the Wyandotte, I still have a golden lace left out of 6 wyandottes of my first flock. I started with 2 silver laced one turned out to be a roo, and 4 golden laced. I like the small comb because I have never had one of them get frostbitten out here, like the larger combed...

    Hi there folks! I'm new to the site and new to raising chickens! Also, I have a question!

    Are you sure that Scarlet and Houdini aren't using the same nest? My birds all use one favorite nest, although there are 6 of them available. They all seem to wait for this nest, sometimes crowding or "hurrying" the other girls up.

    Lucky baby chicks Adoption Success!!!

    Or should I say lucky me. I lost both of my roosters this last winter one to rooster fight when I had to bring the other into the coop after an artic blast, and another to a opossum because the door froze open in 6 inches of ice around the coop. It was a very hard winter. My hens were getting...
