    Placing a big mirror on top of the coop may help deter the hawk

    Sour Crop/ vet

    So I noticed my barred rock throw up 2 days ago , and she appears to have sour crop. I brought her to the vet right away, and the vet suctioned out some of the crop, and prescribed nystatin. I've been giving her 2 doses of the nystatin, and also probiotics. I am on day 3, she us still very...

    As I watch my chickens come out

    When I first got mine, i kept them in a nice little run, but then they would jump on top of the coop, then hop over the fence... I finally just gave in and now they have access to my whole backyard.

    As I watch my chickens come out

    Every morning, cooing and squawking happily, I find myself wondering what goes through their minds. Is every morning like a brand new experience? Are they thrilled when it is nice out, as opposed to the cold weather we had yesterday. Do they remember how crappy it's been thus winter? Are they...

    Auto doors, chicken curfews and vacations

    What is coming out of my chicken? *Gross pictures, not to graphic though*

    Looks like egg. You could try filling your bath tub with warm water, just high enough to cover the chickens butt. Keep her in the water until the water starts cooling. This may loosen it up, ty to pull it out very gently in the water.

    Adult hen with coccidosis and intestinal parasite

    My vet informed me that my barred rock has coccidosis and intestinal parasite. She deals mostly with dogs/cats, but is the only vet around that will look at chickens. She said it was up to me wether or not I wanted to medicate, but that since its an adult, it most likely will not kill the...

    Automatic Coop Door Opener: Your Experiences Please!

    I use the pullet shut, and it is well worth it. Very easy to install, and I have had no problems with it. I use the photo sensor, so it opens and closes based on the light, not on a timer. I cant say enough good things about it, Im going away for a few days, and I dont have to worry about...
