    boy is now biting us

    First, it was just my adult boy bullying just my daughter. Now, it's my younger boy now biting us and being a bully to the other chickens. He's about six months. We hatched him. Any ideas on what I should do to stop this naughtiness?

    Injured boy

    Two days ago, an opossum got into my coop. It killed two of my girls and severely wounded my two boys. While at the vet, one of my boys died. The other one, Wisteria, is now doing pretty well. He has puncture wounds on his head and neck and probable brain damage. BUT, he's doing a lot better...

    Gas

    Thank you guys so much! I just ordered the ProBio for her. She really does sound like she has indigestion. She doesn't have a bad smell coming from her mouth, so I don't think she has sour crop. (At least, not yet!) Hopefully this will prevent it from showing up. Again, thanks a million for...

    My little bantam pullet farts A LOT! She always has loose to outright runny stool. She also has a pendulous crop. Ideas?

    Sponsored Post Win an Ecoglow 20 Chick Brooder from Brinsea with your best tip for winter!

    I put plastic sheeting on the top 2/3 of their windows to keep the wind out and I heat their water (to keep it from freezing) with a cookie tin with a light bulb inside. My daughter and I check on them a lot and give them warm food, like oatmeal, warmed veggies, etc. I'll probably be putting a...

    Ended Official BYC Contest—Post Your Best (Worst) Chicken Molt Pictures—Fall/Winter 2013

    So far, Hemp looks the worst. She really wasn't sure about getting her picture taken. I managed to get these. I'll try to get one that shows her molting beauty better!

    Bird got bit on back

    Turns out the little turd is fine. She eats, drinks, and breathes fine now. She must have just been in a bit of shock. She's back to her usual, bully, nasty-attitude self. I still have to keep her separate right now because she's attacking her sisters!

    Bird got bit on back

    One of my girls was being a butt-head, went over a fence, and got bit on her back by a small dog. I can't find any broken skin, but she's wheezing. Any ideas?

    Things you never said until you had chickens.......

    "No, you can not breast feed!" "Stop kissing on the chicks!" (To my daughter.)

    can i give my chicken oranges and mangos

    I'm glad there's info about giving those spoiled rotten chickens mangos! My neighbor just gave me some for the chickens and rats. Also, speaking of animals eating weird things: One of my cats likes curry and paprika!

    Indoor Pet Chickens

    I have an indoor pullet. She and her two sisters were in the coop outside with the other seven who are slightly bigger. They'd been out there for about a month. Then I went to feed them one morning, one of the three was dead, one was injured, and one was injured so badly, she had to be put down...
