    I hate my new waterer

    Can I ask what nipples you use? I keep getting sprung springs and all the water just dribbles out.

    Stainless steel chicken waterers

    I'm in NY as well and use a little heater in a 5 gallon plastic bucket all winter. Takes a lot of pressure off.

    I accidentally killed my chicken and feel awful!

    Aw and she was such a cutie! But seriously, that could happen to any one of us. They get into everything! I'll bet it never happens to you again though. You will be super vigilant now. So sorry. 😢

    These are supposed to be the same breed and have the same markings, though different colors. They have short, blunt heads, and they RUN everywhere.

    Yes! Ear muffs! Thank you 😊

    I ordered 8 birds, 4 breeds. 5 arrived dead, so they resent the entire order, leaving me with 11 birds (yeah chicken math!), so I'm not sure who is what, although I think with these identified I can figure out the rest, which are a mix of Wyndottes and red as well as black Stars.

    Can anyone identify? Same exact markings but different colors. Short blunt heads, and they run everywhere. Skittish, but not aggressive. Any help would be appreciated!

    How To Get Chickens To Stop Pecking Another Chicken?

    I blue-coated until my white chicken was purple from head to toe :) The local guys down at the feed store told me there was NO WAY I was going save my girl, that she had already become bottom-of-the-pecking-order, and that I should take her up for auction to gaive her a chance. Ha! Second time...

    Molt, pecking, freaking me out!

    Hi, I have a chick (Brahma) that began blowing feathers about 2 weeks ago. She was almost immediatly targeted by the other hens (all 5 of them though mostly the Black Australorp) and quickly became a bloody mess. We do not have the ability to separate her. We had her for a time in a dog kennel...

    coccidiosis???

    Is it possible my little girl has coccidiosis? She is over a year old, but has all the symptoms I think. Not sure about the bloody poo. It seems more yolk-colored than bloody.

    Please help! I'm very sad:(

    You can also get the meds into her with a syringe if she won't drink it.

    Lethargic Hen

    I too have a lathargic hen, I just came on to find out if anyone had any ideas. She is a sweet little 1 year old comet that never lets me pick her up, but now she just stands there and when I pick her up she just sits in my arms. She has dried egg yolk on her foot, and I'm thinking maybe she was...

    Creepy Marcia laying even creepier eggs at night...

    Replying to myelf always seems stupid lol, but I just wanted to point out there is a thread just a few down that addresses these issues!!

    Creepy Marcia laying even creepier eggs at night...

    I was really hoping you had an answer to this as one of my chickies has started doing the exact same thing, just this past week! We opened the coop door and an egg dropped out (our door is in the floor), and broke, and they all jumped on it and ate it. I was very worried because I don't want...

    Roost bars and nesting box too close?

    Oh I hope it's not necessary to heat the coop! I live in NY state, and we go down into the teens and occasionally dip under 0, and I had no intention of heating my coop. Weathering it yes, and some type of insulation as we approach winter, but how can I heat a coop far from the house? I'm not...
