    picky laying spot

    she doesn’t not let us carry her. she’ll come near us on her own but is very skiddish if we try to touch her or even feed her out of our hands.

    picky laying spot

    i have a hen that really likes to lay her eggs in a basket on our porch. it snowed pretty bad last night and she can’t get to the basket today. she’s been pacing back & forth trying to get to it all day. we have nesting boxes accesible to her & everyone else lays there. sun is almost down and...

    walking funny

    i have a pullet, 3 months, that’s walking with her tail down, almost like she’s limping. she’s still active, eating, drinking, pooping. when i let them all out to free range she attempts to keep up but because of the way she’s walking, she can’t. we noticed this yesterday afternoon, she had been...

    is this normal?

    she was lethargic. she would have barely enough energy to try to eat & drink but eventually couldn’t do that either. the night she passed her head was twitching. so i am keeping a close eye on all the others it’s currently high 50s, sun is out. yes. i do still have them on grower feed.

    is this normal?

    i recently had a chick pass & i’ve been keeping a close eye on the others. they like to just sit & chill and although i just think they’re resting i just want to make sure it’s normal. they don’t do it all day. they still walk around and peck at the ground, eat and drink like normal. so i think...

    hello! ◡̈

    thank you for this actually. i actually have 3, but i keep going back & forth with a couple friends. they crow every morning & throughout the day sometimes. i too also believe the 3 are cockerels. but for some reason they whole heartedly believe they’re hens
