    I'm not looking to gain any money, just a loving and caring home. I'm having to make a lot of hard choices. Thank you for your kind words. This has been one of the hardest things I've ever been through.

I do have a huge hen house and...

    What's wrong with my chickens?

    Yes, she takes a day off once every 6-8 days. She's eating, sleeping and drinking normal. I haven't noticed her hanging around the boxes either.

    What's wrong with my chickens?

    Ok I have a question. I have a 14 month old barred rock. I have noticed her back side is often dirty and caked in poo. I've washed her numerous times.

    Yes Yes, that's one side of the run. The plastic is on the outside of the run. I do allow them to free range during the afternoons.

    How does everyone winterize there coops? This is my first winter and I was told I don't need to worry about it. I did naturally, I put up plastic on the outside of the coop facing the North where the wind really picks up. Did I go overboard?

    Bumble foot?????

    Help... My BR has bumble foot in 3 locations. I asked ppl how to treat it they said the use an exacto knife. We did that last night on the largest scab. The blood was unbelievable, we never saw a kernel nor pus. I'm worried we did more harm.

    So it turns out she has 3 scabs. My husband and I tried doing it exactly like the videos show, she was bleeding so bad. I never saw a kernel. I fear we did more harm than good. We looked for an hour and nothing. We wrapped her foot and have her in our bathroom overnight. We aren't going to...
