    Hen can't walk, stool on bottom

    I really didn't find much, I added more fluffy bedding in case they were cold. I am getting my straw this weekend to insulate their coop. I hope my son doesn't come home to find her dead in the garage. My vet gave me dex to give her when I get home to bring down inflammation. We can't even...

    Hen can't walk, stool on bottom

    We have had her since she was a few days old, got her last spring. I am sad, because she is my favorite chicken. She loves me. I have separated her, brought her into the garage, given her some warm molasses flush and some food. I will see how she is when I get home from work. I don't want...

    Hen can't walk, stool on bottom

    No it hasn't happened before, no new chickens. My husband threw the leftovers from the garden in there last week (they love to eat the plants) so moldy is possible I guess, although everything looks ok. The food in the feeder looks good too. I will read up on botulism, thanks. Beckie

    What breed are we?

    I just got these little ones. I know they are bantams and I know they are booted. The person who gave them to me said they were French and that they were Mill Fluers. I have learned that that is a color, not a breed. I am not sure how old they are, sometime this summer. I have no idea if I...

    New to here, new to chickens, do we need a rooster?

    Thank you for the replies! We got 2 rhode island reds, 2 leghorns, 2 new Hampshire reds and 2 ISA browns. We have since found out the ISAs are mutt chickens- and they are the prettiest ones!

    New to here, new to chickens, do we need a rooster?

    We live in Tustin, MI and are raising our first chickens.. We got 8 hens because the lady at the feed store said we didn't need a rooster. Some people with chickens said we should have one. Anyone know why we should or shouldn't have one? A friend of mine has three and offered us one. We...

    When can my peeps go outside?

    I live in Michigan too. We are new to chickens too. Ours are about the same age as yours and mine are in the coop. I only put the heat lamp on them at night if it goes below 40. They are doing great and love to be outside. Have you been lowering their temp every week? I had been taking mine...
