    My troubles of adding 2 new chickens

    Chickens are now getting along well in their run and when they free range. The barred rock is definitely the lowest in the pecking order and she still gets chased a bit here and there. I think she’s just too nice to stand up for herself. Just runs the other way. They are all laying. The mean...

    Chicken is panting and won’t walk

    Sad to say but she passed a few days after my last post. Just never really recovered to any extent.

    Chicken is panting and won’t walk

    Update. She definitely has water belly. I drained 45 ml of yellow fluid from her. I think she has more but according to videos and stuff online they can go into shock if you take out more ml than that. She is still just laying there after the fluid extraction but is drinking water on her own...

    Chicken is panting and won’t walk

    Also wanted to add that I know she hasn’t been roosting in the coop for at least 2 weeks. Just sits in the bedding under the others.

    Chicken is panting and won’t walk

    My chicken had a very poopy butt the last week. She was walking prior but walking funny, like with her butt down. I put her in a bath to clean her. After the bath she became completely lethargic and really has not moved much sense. I’ve had to place her in the coop at night and she was in the...

    My troubles of adding 2 new chickens

    Just providing an update. Thank you all for the advice. I added some clutter and it’s been about a week that they’ve all been together without barriers. Everything seems okay. A little pecking and some chases but nothing that lasts more than a second or 2. Everyone seems to be getting food and...

    My troubles of adding 2 new chickens

    The easter egger just started laying this past week. Curious why it matters to chickens if their counterparts are actively laying.I will lock them in the run while the others are free ranging. They usually stay in there anyways but the mean girls come in to peck them occasionally. I believe I...

    My troubles of adding 2 new chickens

    I'll start by saying, I definitely should have read posts on this site before trying to add more chickens because I had no idea how hard it would be. Chickens are darn mean to each other. It's now been a month with the new ones separated from the older ones and I'm wondering if it is time that...

    broken claw and bumble

    Took me a couple a days cause of the snow to get to out there. She was walking fine next day and doesn’t seem to be acting any differently. I did get some pictures of her footpads. I think the nail that was bleeding is the lower one in the picture on the right but I’m not 100% sure. I did not...

    broken claw and bumble

    I had my first medical scare tonight and I was freaking out. I’ve had my chickens for almost a year now. It’s just a small backyard flock of 4 hens. I went to check on them and I see they are all roosting and there is just tons of blood on the roost bar. I could see that one of my hens feet was...

    Coffee ground bedding where to buy

    I've used the rural king brand coffee ground bedding since I started my coop. I am very happy with it. However, it seems like its completely out of stock everywhere right now. I even messaged the company Grounds Power by Coffee to see if they still make it but I never got a response. Does anyone...

    Eggs not in nesting box

    Brand new chicken owner here. I have 4 red sex link hens. I just got them about a month ago and they started laying within the last 3 weeks. I built nesting boxes on my coop and only 1 of the 4 uses them. The other 3 all go in the corner under their roost bar. I think one may be going on the...
