    Why did my baby go through this?

    I am so very sorry for your loss. I have an indoor bantam chicken that I rescued three years ago and can imagine your pain. I feed mine Purina crumbles and then a few other things throughout the day. In the beginning I did find that feeding her too much of things other than her crumbles would...

    I feel that. 🤣

    Over researched and made myself anxious about coccidiosis

    I once found a bantam chicken in the woods. She was super sick and had bloody poops. Turns out she had coccidia. I was so paranoid because I was keeping her inside. We had a routine where every time she pooped she would scream and I would come and clean up the poop. I did this because I didn't...

    enrichment/enclosure for indoor setup (plants,toys, etc)

    Sorry I just saw this reply. No, I can't leave because no one can watch her. I have parrots too, and while my parents would be willing to watch them, asking someone to pick up chicken poop is a whole other story. I'm happy with my life though. I'm an introvert and spend most of my time at home...

    enrichment/enclosure for indoor setup (plants,toys, etc)

    Look into a company called Kavee cages. I have an indoor bantam chicken I rescued and built out a 3 x3' cage from Kavee and have different blankets from them that I change out every week. I also have chicken plushies, scrunchies, etc that she loves to play with. I will tell you that having a...

    enrichment/enclosure for indoor setup (plants,toys, etc)

    I rescued a bantam chicken and she lives indoors with me and my other birds. (I do take them outside) I don't leave my home for more than 4 hours at a time because otherwise the place would stink to high heaven. Also I don't want her walking in her own poop. I also know she is bonded to me and...

    Are Opossums Misunderstood?

    I feel like these opossums appreciate you and so they know not to hurt you or your family in order to keep being fed. ❤️

    How quickly do chickens age?

    I'm really glad you posted this because my bantam stopped laying like 6 weeks ago too. I found her outside 2 years ago and I think she was young or a baby when I found her because her comb was small. She had coccidia though so the sickness may have made her comb smaller. I feed my parrots and...

    Hens staying in run at night - freezing cold, why?!

    Maybe they don't like the smell of poop in the coop.

    Who here can speak chicken? Lol

    Bribe them with blueberries. That's what I do with my bantam after she lays her eggs and starts doing the egg song. I run to get her a couple blueberries and she's so excited about the berries that she stops screaming. I live in a condo and it works every time. :) Also, they are probably...

    Choosing a rooster

    Please don't kill the rooster. Give it away. Animals aren't put here for our enjoyment. They are living breathing beings that deserve respect.

    She's worse than a rooster!

    When I found my bantam chicken she would crow like this all day long. I work from home and she lives inside with me so I thought I was going to go insane. Two things I discovered, #1 - she did not like her enclosure so I built her a bigger one, and #2 - she just wanted to be with me because she...

    Am I doing something wrong?

    Why are they on the floor with no bedding or blankets? Would you want to sleep on a dirt floor?

    Is it too late? Frostbite, lethargy

    Get her a velvet blanket to snuggle up in. They are very warm. My bantam loves velvet blankets!
