    the redeye hen...

    I've got one hen that stays out late to forage...well after the rest go up...is this a sign that she's not getting enough to eat and needs the extra foraging time, or is she just a night owl (so to speak) ;) she's a low ranking hen and often gets ran off by the others while feeding...any...

    Assorted rainbow layer?

    Yep...a lot of coyotes here too...but I've got big dogs outside (and a rifle inside) to keep the coyotes at bay...I worry more about skunks, hawks and eagles than coyotes...my birds are living high on the hog here...this is an area where chickens are raised commercially for processing, and kept...

    Assorted rainbow layer?

    Actually the coop I have now is just big enough to house the adult birds I have...they free range in a 40x60 fenced yard and my coop is 10x10x6...I will be building a larger coop for the new additions soon and be opening up the fence to double the space for my birds to forage...we live in a big...

    My chicken has a bone sticking out of her back?!!

    A compound fracture where the bone has pieced the skin and is exposed is not an injury your bird will recover from without professional treatment...and you say its been a month? Put the animal down...a painful long drawn out death from infections and worse is no way to go...please do the right...

    Assorted rainbow layer?

    I'm also in southwest missouri...2 years ago we bought a dozen chicks from our local TSC...4 white leghorn hens and 8 production reds...raised them all up successfully and added a black australorp*, (bought as an adult hen from my step daughter) and an adult welsummer* rooster (given to us by my...

    Cannot upload images on mobile?

    Yep...it is a pain...I have to use the desktop version on my mobile to upload any pics or to start a thread...this is really frustrating because it takes soooo loooong for the desktop version to load and even longer to use any of the features once its loaded...I would love to have the same...

    Cannot upload images on mobile?

    This is interesting, but a lot of us do use mobile and we're getting the short end of the stick "so to speak"...I can barely use the site as is on my blackberry and would like to ask someone in charge here to put some extra effort into making the site more mobile friendly..thanks in advance!

    Mystery predator?

    My best guess on the predator issue would be skunk...they are well known in this area to do just that...tearing the heads off of the chicken and leave the body laying...and yes they are a member of the weasel family ;) my coop is 8 inch thick concrete with an 1 1/2 thick wooden door that scrapes...
