    I found my chicken dead in the coop - what happened?

    Over the past 2 months I've found 3 of my Buffs dead overnight. Nothing appeared wrong. No weakness, they were drinking and eating well, no sign whatsoever of any health issues. Coop stays clean, have wide open spaces to roam, etc. I've been raising hens for almost 15 years and have never had...

    Sick hen updated

    I appreciate all the advice. I went by Tractor Supply (only place locally for farm goods) and the only thing they had was Wazine. A guy that raises chickens works there part time and he said I was good to go with it. He also suggested electrolytes. I mixed up two gallons per directions and put 1...

    My hens are LOUD

    Quote: I feel your pain.......... This week I think all 6 of my hens decided that every time any one of them was on a nest they would let the neighborhood know about it. They've been doing a kinda growling cluck thing running in and out of the coop to check on their hen sisters. Maybe now that...

    Egg-bound ...do they survive? - please tell me YES THEY CAN!!

    This morning and this afternoon one of my hens laid 3 eggs and is still on the nest. No signs of being eggbound at all. I think this is the last of 6 hens that has finally laid. None of the rest did that although I have one hen that has laid 5-6 a week for the past 3 weeks. They are 25 weeks old.

    -20 below, what do I do for my flock??

    I'm a little confused. Is it better to leave them in the coop all day on extremely cold days or go ahead and open the coop door so they can go out if they want to? On our last sub 20 degree morning I opened the door and they came hauling tail feathers out to start scratching around in the...

    chicken coop heater pictures

    Well this is really confusing, use heat, don't use heat. Looks like it becomes a matter of personal preference. I guess if you look at it as a chicken is a bird and wild birds live through winter you really don't need heat. On the other hand if chickens are happier when they aren't freezin...
