    Water belly stages?

    I learned how to drain our girl and it works for a few times. Now I can't seem to get liquid out - the syrsyringe has a vacuum. Has anyone with a chicken that had water belly and drained it themselves see an end? No one talks about what happens since it's not a cure, it's just to make them...

    Chicken got too hot and not recovering?

    So after 9 years we had same problem happen to us. I highly suggest dunking in water but not cold water. We dunked ours in their outside 5 gallon water so it was warmish. But we did put her under car ac for a long time opening her wings and had it pointed between her legs. We also gave her...

    1 hen is pecking everyone else - help!

    I like this idea but she has always been top hen...others are so passive I'm not sure it will work for her. Could it still work?

    1 hen is pecking everyone else - help!

    She's a golden sexlink and she is the king. The roosters will try to mate her and she walks around with them on her back until they give up. She's only one not missing any feathers. We don't know if she's eating them...they are free range. She focuses on neck and then butt on rooster....again...

    Wing feathers

    We have a hen who is 2 now and has zero feathers on her wings. Her wings are just sticks, literally. We thot it was molting plus we do have another hen that pecks and so we figure that's what happened but will they ever grow back? We have never seen this. Could there be other reasons? Thanks for...

    Thanks. Yeah I guess I should have added that ours are total free range. I know that makes a difference. Thanks again.

    Automatic doors - predator

    Hello all: I searched for automatic doors and predators but only found recommendations, etc. Our concern is whether an automatic door is basically an automatic feeder for predators. Here's what we imagine...the door opens and a coyote is just waiting for them to come out. Maybe as I type this...
