    And Then There Was 1

    Hello all, Well we made it through the winter but now find ourselves in a bad place. We will get through this. Everyone stay safe and healthy.

    Safe coop heating

    Morning all and thank you. I worked last night so wasn't able to reply. I am in SWCT. Weather is a roll of the dice here. Sometime cold winters sometimes not.

    I had thought about one also until I heard of a story where one chicken did not get back before the coop door closed and died in the cold. Bummed me out so abandoned the idea. Jim

    Sick Girl

    Thank you for the help. She doesn't seem to be doing very well and I fear we will be putting her down. We only had 6 that we took from our neighbor when they moved and took good care of them and feel bad that things like this happen. Feel like we should have been on top of this. When my...

    Sick Girl

    One of our hens is sick and I am wondering what to do. Last week there were flies around her and I took here and cleaned out a wound that had maggots. I cleaned if completely and put on wound spray. She is barely moving. I have posted a picture of what the would looks like. A few weeks ago we...
