    Containing free rangers?

    We have 6 chickens who have been allowed to roam all over our yard. That's been nice, but now I am really getting sick of all the chicken poop in the yard and on the walkways. These chickens think they are own the yard. If I want to fence them into an area/pen, how are they going to handle...

    Lethargic chick, need help, son so upset!

    She just died. I was holding her and she died. I am ok with her dying, but it's harder on kids. They'll deal, but it's still upsetting for them.

    Lethargic chick, need help, son so upset!

    Thanks. I am feeding them medicated chick starter. She has yellow sticky poop today that is stuck on her bottom. I picked her up to wipe it off and water came out of her mouth. She is still lethargic. Now what?

    Suggestions for chicks for Long Island, NY

    After what happened to us last year (6 chicks that ended up to be all roosters), I want to get chicks that are definitely little girls. We gave all 6 roosters back to the farmer, by the way. Suggestions? Mail order? Where? How about just ordering from Agway, which is our local...

    Cleaned out coop, now no eggs

    Still no eggs. The main layer was following me around today, outside of the pen. I picked her up and checked her vent and it seems swollen. It also appears her butt is dragging alittle. THe other one isn't laying either, but she looks fine. A friend who has chickens said when they get...

    Cleaned out coop, now no eggs

    My 2 hens were laying just fine, an egg a day. Then I cleaned their coop out and rinsed it down and put fresh straw/hay in there. Same stuff they had in there before. But since I did that, I've gotten no eggs. That was Sunday. Also, they are not roaming out onto the lawn. They just...

    HI all! I came back to tell you they were......all ROOSTERS! I took them all back to the farmer and it was confirmed. The kids were so sad. But we got 2 full grown hens in their place. We'll order definite hens in the spring. No more chances! Thanks for all your help in trying to...
