    Neighbor says she'll take me to court over coop placement

    We really can't move the coop because it's almost 100 square feet. We have 26 chickens. We checked with the town laws before getting the chickens. There are no restrictions on anything to do with chickens, even roosters. Our yard isn't even that big. Moving the coop 50 feet isn't going to...

    Neighbor says she'll take me to court over coop placement

    I have had chickens for over a year now and I love them. Right when I got the chickens I received a letter from the town saying a "concerned citizen" aka nosy neighbor noticed I build a shed without a permit. So I went to the town and found out I was supposed to pay $35 for the shed permit...

    Prolapse treatments

    She is actually doing fine, thank you for asking! We actually put her in a bird cage inside the coop for a few days before letting her be around the other chickens 24/7. This worked well. She still doesn't sleep with the other chickens or really hang around them, but they tolerate her. She hids...

    How to put a separated chicken back into the coop without getting beat up.

    I just leave her outside the pen during the day. She seems to stay close to the run and walks around it like she wants to go in. I'm thinking out adding a separate run just for her, but I would really just like to see her go with the other chickens. At night she comes inside and I keep her in a...

    How to put a separated chicken back into the coop without getting beat up.

    I'm just afraid she will die in the process. I have 25 hens not including her and the white rocks are worst (even though that's what she is too.) She is a little smaller than the other chickens from being so sick in the beginning. At this point, she is the only free range chicken. E other...

    Prolapse treatments

    Update! We got the chicken stitched up last week because it just wouldn't stay in. New problem- The rest of the chickens won't stop beating her up now that it's time for her to go back into the coop. They are extremely mean to her and I don't know what to do. She hides in a corner until I take...

    How to put a separated chicken back into the coop without getting beat up.

    My chicken had a prolapse back in July. Determined to save her, we tried everything we could to get that sucker to stay inside her. With no luck, we finally took her to the vet last week to get stitched up. The vet said she's good as new and can go back with her friends in a week. That time...

    Prolapse treatments

    She is still acting ok. I put her outside for a little yesterday so she could scratch around and she seemed to enjoy herself. She did not want to go back inside. Her poop was actually normal size yesterday evening into today so I'm taking that as a positive sign too. They are just very soft and...

    Prolapse treatments

    I've been putting prep h on 3-4 times a day for the past week. The tube is almost empty now. This is a hen and she is 3 months old. It seems like she may be constipated. Sometimes the poops are really small and pellet like and others they are closer to normal. I'm not really sure what to do...

    Prolapse treatments

    I've had a chicken with a prolapse for 8 days now and I'm trying everything I can. The preparation h and honey doesn't seem to be working. The chicken just can't keep everything sucked in. Would it hurt to try some steroid ointment meant for humans? Would this help the inflamed tissue go back...

    Prolapsed oviduct going on 1 week now - help

    She definitely seems much better than she was last week so I'm hoping she improves. I just want to know if anyone has had success after a week of this.

    Prolapsed oviduct going on 1 week now - help

    This is my first time with chickens and I seem to have a chicken with a prolapsed oviduct. I noticed it last Thursday (1 week ago today) and I immediately separated her from the other chickens. She is in the dog carrier with minimal light with food and water. At first I didn't think she would...
