    Photo of weird poop!

    I am not sure where they would be getting berries. I am down from ~3 eggs a day to 1 and they don’t seem to be eating much of their feed. So the black spots..are those not always worms?

    Photo of weird poop!

    Hi all, I just saw this poop. Looking at images on line the darker drops look like worms? The lighter colored is bizarre..it is hard like a rock! I had wood chips delivered from an arborist company (untreated trips). I have been spreading it outIn the backyard where they free range. They seem a...

    Bedtime

    thanks everyone..I guess, if the chickens are going to need to have access to the coop during the day as well when they start laying I have a bigger problem than just bedtime!

    Access to nesting box

I have the bunny hutch right next to them and both animals are running in and out of each other's little homes. It is quite cute! The bunnies, however...

    Dog just had 6 week old chick in mouth

    So today (while at home and on a conference call!) I notice that my dog and my visiting sister's dog are chasing after one of the chicks who got out of the coop area. Chaos ensued for a bit and my dog, Who is very protective of the checks since we have had them, gets a hold of the chick in her...

    Much smaller than the rest

    Hi! I feel like this is a sort of question that is asked a lot. But one of our four checks is much smaller than the other. She's a brown leghorn and is much smaller than the white leghorn and the other two which are an Americana and a barred rock. She does not seem to socialize very much but...
