    Chicken Fodder

    Hello, I noticed some white fuzzy stuff at the base of my fodder and want to know if I can cut the green parts and give it to my chickens or if I need to throw it all away and start a fresh batch Thanks.

    Lonely Hen

    I found one of my two hens dead last night and I need to know how to keep the surviving hen from feeling lonely. I have four pullets but they will be in quarantine for about another month. What can I do to keep my hen from feeling lonely and having isolation issues?

    Hen Death

    We haven't gotten any eggs in about a month and I wasn't sure if that was because of the time change or a couple were molting. The one's that were molting have gotten their new feathers back so maybe they'll start laying again. They get whole apples but we've been doing that the entire time...

    Hen With a Blocked Vent and Thin

    Hello. My husband noticed one of our hens hand an odd looking butt. When I went to check her I noticed she had long pieces of grass stuck, not sure how because they don't free range and we don't give them long grass, and when I tried to remove it I realized her vent was blocked so I soaked her...
