    Egg bound hen

    I’ve got an appx. 3-4 year old RIR hen that is egg-bound. She previously laid just fine along with her flock mates who are laying machines. This flock came to me in January had been fine minus some re ordering of the pecking shenanigans. Becky, the one in question, has acted depressed and not...

    Normal rooster behavior?

    Hi all, me again! Trying to figure out what’s normal and what’s not. Had my adopted flock/rooster since January and he’s not tried to beef with me until a couple of days ago. First off, Rusty doesn’t like my husband AT ALL. He will try to fight most of the time, only barely ignoring him whilst...

    Mean hen

    Haven’t tried that technique. Thanks for the tip. I’ll give that a shot.

    Mean hen

    Hi all! My adopted flock has been with me for about 2 months now. Becky, the friendliest in the beginning, now is acting like a fool towards me. She jumps up and attacks like a roo; I then have to scoot her away with my foot or scoop her up and hold her for a moment. Up until recently, that...

    Wood coop help

    Ok all-here is a photo of my concern. The actual roof of the coop is extended over the run, but the clear panel is covering the run area and a little under the coop roof. The circled part is where the water is coming down the wall. I threw a tarp over it to minimize the water. It looks like it’s...

    Wood coop help

    Thanks all, I'll snap a photo as soon as I get home. I should have done that prior to posting. Its not an overhang issue, its the part where the roofing meets the coop. I'll share photos soon 😊

    Wood coop help

    It's more of an issue of the part of the yard its in, it drained slight downward therefore coming down the wall. I'm trying to figure out a way to fix it. The roof actually works, its just the one area I need to revisit.

    Wood coop help

    Hi ya'll! Happy Friday! I recently put a roof on my enclosed run (attached to the coop), and living in FL, the rain is frequent. I noticed last night after a days worth of rain that on one side had water dripping down 1 side of the coop and a little inside the coop. My coop was bought from a...

    Could I have a unicorn?

    Same here! The hens are way louder than he is. I’m just astonished that he is so quiet. Not a bad thing I suppose…

    Could I have a unicorn?

    Recently (yesterday) adopted a small flock (currently no birds) and everyone is doing great! A sweet rooster came with the 4 hens who is about 5. The previous owners are friends and are VERY good pet owners! All birds are healthy and have had no issues. The roo has been here for 24 hours and has...

    Hiya!

    Hi everyone! I’m Kat! I knew I was getting chicks this year, but things changed when a friend relocated and needs to rehome a small flock. So…now I have 5 total; 2 RIR, 1 black copper maran, 1 EE, and 1 RIR roo. I really did not want a roo, but this one is a good egg, pun intended. I am...
