    When Cats and Chickens work together…

    So today, we came home from church to so many surprise chicks!!! We have 10 cats we inherited when we purchased our house. They were supposed to be feral, but they have since turned into big babies. They have a heated cat house up next to our house and several additional cat boxes they can use...

    Chickens with an Identity Issue

    It’s been a while since I posted on here due to several factors. We finally got the new Chicken Taj Mahal (as my husband calls it) and mini chicken Taj Mahal (for the bantams) up and running. Everyone has been transferred from their temporary little coops we had to use after a tree fell on our...

    Also, after it clears up, keep an eye out to make sure she hasn’t lost her hearing. :)

    Ear/Sinus Infection?

    Hello :) if it were my hen I would try to get the puss out asap. I would then use a bit of diluted hydrogen peroxide (if you use full strength it may get trapped and damage healthy cells). I would use maybe 60/40 ish ratio or h2o2 to h2o. That should allow it to react pretty thoroughly and dry...

    Hep with Aggressive bird, please.

    So, we have a lot of chickens and 2 turkeys… a few days ago A third turkey showed up. He is either an extremely friendly wild turkey or someone’s pet who has rehomed himself to my yard (though none of my neighbors have claimed him). Either way, we now have 3 turkeys and have named him Augusta...

    911 help sick chicken

    How is she? Is she by chance straining? I can’t get the video to play, but I once had a neighbor who had a hen who would close her eyes and open her mouth… she asked me to look at it… she thought it was respiratory, but She was actually trying to lay an egg and was straining when she did this...

    Dirty Chickens!

    I have 3 white chickens in the “special” chickens run. A silkie, and 2 polish or Sudan mixes (? I think, they are small like the silkies). For some reason, just the white ones here cannot stay clean… like they get mud (or maybe mud colored poop) on their booty and bottom of their legs daily...

    Hot stubborn chickens.

    Ok, we have a lot of chickens (with a few turkeys and guineas). They are all incredibly stubborn and All of them have been displaying signs of being overly hot (not surprising- we are in the middle of a heat wave and have had heat advisories). We have a new fairly large coop with a fan and...

    My chickens who clearly do not know they are chickens…

    She is adorable! Yes! They follow everywhere! If someone comes to the house, they all run over the second they hear the door open to “help” greet the person. Haha you should see the looks we get when someone is brave enough to sit on the patio and they end up with a lap full of chickens. 🤣 we...

    My chickens who clearly do not know they are chickens…

    So, maybe I baby my chickies a bit more than most, or maybe these chickies are just neurotic. It is true that most people spend ages trying to get their flock to be friendly. However, with my flock i try to make them a bit less so. We live on quite a bit of acreage and I have like 60...

    Long Term Hard Molt, Coccidiosis or Worms

    When I started chickening, I inherited a hen that did this who was almost 5 yo. Her name is Clover. She is 6yo now and has stopped laying. I took her to the vet bc she had constant poopy butt and diarrhea… I was given meds even though he vet said tests were negative… at first he thought it was...
