    Went to the feed store for a bale of hay,

    You sound like my mom :) When I was still in school I knew I'd need her to run to the feed store eventually. The second time I asked, she came back with our white silkie Fluffy.

    Please help is she going to die

    Sorry for your bird :( I can't fully tell but it looks like a flesh wound right? My 1 year old silkie was attacked by a hawk 2 months ago and it got a third of it's wing eaten off to the bone. We kept it in gauze and cream for 2 days before a vet sewed it back up. If it's a flesh one a vet...

    Are Chickens Smart ?

    Have had similar experiences. Our 6-month old pullets free range in the fenceless backyard. After worried neighbors kept knocking on our door for a couple weeks we decided to put up a sign. As soon as I stepped outside though the whole flock started running to the other end of the property...

    Anchoring a coop

    Here is my 3x5 area coop (about 6 feet tall, more with the blocks). The place I put it was also uneven ground so I used pressurized wood and concrete blocks just like you're doing. Don't know your design but when lifting the upper house part onto the stand for mine it took us 4 people and we...

    Non Roosting Chickens
