    Little Leghorn needs a good home!

    No problem! My brother and Penny live in Auburn. I’m trying to help him find a home for her since I can’t bring her across the border with me. I’m the crazy chicken person in the family so told him I’d reach out to try to find her a home.

    Little Leghorn needs a good home!

    I’m up here in Canada too. I did a 24 hour turn around trip to help him medicate her and buy things he needed for healthing her up and teaching him some basics. She’s the friendliest chicken I’ve ever met. I’m sad he can’t keep her and he loves her too. It’s quite sweet he treats her just...

    Little Leghorn needs a good home!

    My brother rescued a chicken that may have fallen off the back of a truck. She was in rough shape but we’ve got her back to health (vent gleet, mites, but no sign of upper respiratory). He’s been really loving having her. She’s ridiculously sweet, she’s a lap chicken, and just wants to be...

    Slipped Tendon

    Hi everyone, I am going through slipped tendon on a 24 hour old bantam. I’ve got her in a slipped tendon sling. Her feet are taped, and her legs are loosely wrapped with the medical leg wrap tape. I was unable to wrap it too tightly, as I was trying to do it by myself. But i believe it’s...

    Do chickens ever seem sick before laying 1st egg?

    Okay, well... maybe she just had a moment. She’s zooming around the yard this morning in her usual fashion. I will keep an eye on her and put all the suggestions for food into action. This might be a case of a new chicken mama, not a sick chicken. She’s just my favourite chicken and it...

    Do chickens ever seem sick before laying 1st egg?

    I’ll go buy layer pellets today and add them into their food. I’ve nefer hosed out the coop. I just wipe it down with a damp rag and use elbow grease to get any poop off. Dust it off and take out all the shavings. Let it dry out over 8 hours or so and replace the shavings once everything...

    Do chickens ever seem sick before laying 1st egg?

    Yes, I wash out the coop first thing in the morning, and let it dry over the day, I wipe it down with a wet rag usually just with vinegar water. I’ve not had it over the fall and winter yet, so I’ve only been washing it during the hot summer. I might have to change how I do it over the rainy...

    Do chickens ever seem sick before laying 1st egg?

    I’m so freaking worried. Their coop is impeccably clean, I fully gut it and rinse it out every 2nd week, and I pressure wash their roosts at that point too. I’ve never seen evidence of a bug on anyone. Anyone who enters my back yard only ever wears shoes I provide and I’ve never had anyone...

    Do chickens ever seem sick before laying 1st egg?

    i have a 24 week old Faverolles who has not laid her first egg yet. Tonight I noticed her just now waking very. Slowly then hunching up and pulling her head in. She was shaped like a football. Then she laid down and tucked her head in to sleep. I woke her up to try to feel if there was an egg...
