    Cat/Kitten for Mouse Control

    Hi! I have a cat for mice control and she does amazing! I’m not a cat person either but she stays in the garage and rarely comes inside. I give her tick medicine once every month and she doesn’t have any diseases. She isn’t a predator to the chickens because she grew up around them. I would...

    Official BYC Poll: Do You Wear a Mask or Respirator When Cleaning Your Coop?

    HELP! Chicken not going inside

    URGENT!!! Waddle Slightly Bigger and Swollen

    Hello! I have 4 buff orpingtons and I noticed one waddle side is significantly bigger than the other one and it's turning purple and blue on the bottom. She's only 6 months old and this is the only one it's happening to. She's still laying pretty frequently and doesn't seem to be having any...

    Hello!!!

    Hello everyone! My name is Penny and this is my first year having chickens! I have 4 buff Orpingtons and 1 araucana. I got chickens to be more self-sufficient. I also enjoy gardening and spending my time outdoors. Next season we'll get more chickens and hopefully have a flock of 15-20.
