    My Chick Won’t Let Me Clean Her Pasty Butt

    I notice you've already found a fix, and have had a lot of tips, but I wanted to share my own tip in case this happens again :D I recommend holding the chick with his/her legs coming out from between your fingers. This will help make sure it doesn't move as much. I just got a chick who was...

Meet Xena (the princess warrior, and yes, we're hoping she's...

    Beautiful but Mean Rooster: How do I Help my Hen?

    None of our hens crouch for him. They're all the same age, and he learned that he can trick some into crouching by calling them for food. When they try to find the food is when he...mounts them. I'm just going to flat out say it: he rapes my hens. Aunty was laying her eggs just fine, no blood...

    Beautiful but Mean Rooster: How do I Help my Hen?

    George and Aunty used to be best friends when we moved into our house and inherited them. Prior owners kept them in the coop behind them 24/7 because of their aggressive dog (whom had killed the prior flock). After introducing our dogs to the chickens, we built a small fence around the door to...

    Chick Egg Broke!!

    I've never dealt with death up close and personal. I guess I was sheltered from death while growing up. I now understand why my mom does not want any more chicks after this! Thanks for the warning, and the virtual hug. I needed that.😟

    Hello from Georgia!

    Thank you so much! We were told that Kobi and Koba were the same breed, but I guess they were wrong. Learning more about my baby chickens is heartwarming:love I appreciate you for letting me know their breeds!

    Hello from Georgia!

    He is a cutie! Everyone who sees him says that. Sadly, his personality isn't as good as his looks...he's in rooster jail for attacking Aunty, our barred rock! At least he doesn't attack humans xD

    Chick Egg Broke!!

    So we have 2 chicks and 2 eggs and a brooding hen in a communal laying area in the coop. We let our hens free roam our yard, and all has been well. While the broody hen was out with her chicks, my mom decided to clean where she lays. This meant moving the eggs and everything out; there was lots...

    Hello from Georgia!

    Hey y'all! In December of 2019, after a few months of looking for a house with my mom, we finally found one! The best part of the house that we got was not that it was almost an acre lot, but that we inherited 1 rooster and 4 hens! It's been quite a few months since we got them, and almost each...
