    Foundation for Coop

    New run

    Just moved my chickens to a bigger yard. I am going to buy a chicken run for them and put the coop inside. I’m worried about keeping other animals out (chipmunks). What’s a good way to secure the run, some type of flooring or wire under the run? I was thinking sheet vinyl so the chipmunks can’t...

    New chicken to flock trouble

    I have a new chicken. I raised her as a baby with a rooster, while I had 4 adults. They were raised in a separate pen next to the others, and they shared the yard with them, but the two young ones mostly stayed away from the flock. I had to get rid of the rooster ( due to noise and ordinances)...

    Sick chicken???

    Full size hen, a Wyandotte, and now she has some diarrhea. Her comb is flopping, but she is eating and drinking, and is active. One of my chickens laid a soft egg last week, but I am not sure if it was her. I did put some antibiotics in the water this morning.:/ Thanks for your help.

    Video- any hope for chicks leg/foot?

    I've had this happen before. I use a roll of self Stick bandage, cut a small strip and wrap it so that the legs stay closer together. It has worked several times! Just be sure your baby is getting enough food and water.

    New to BYC

    Hi, I'm Lisa, from GA. I have 3 chickens that I've raised from chicks which were hatched in my classroom. They are all so unique. Love this website! Is it true that eggs can be left unrefrigerated until washed?? How long can they stay out?? What is the best way to wash them? I'm sure I'll...
