    I will definitely take pictures next time. So far my other two hens are doing well, it was an adjustment for my older hen since she followed that hen around the yard. Thanks again!!

    Thank you for your response. This was my first death. I wish the vet would of diagnosed that when he seen the chunky piece, maybe we could have saved her. A sad lessened learned, in case it would happen again.

    2 yr old Rhode Island Red passed away

    I introduced two chicks to my flock of 3. I was told they were hens and turned out to be roosters. 8-9 months later I finally found them both a home, but only due to the stress they put on my other hens. I had a nice quiet coop, until those two roosters got older. I believe due to the...

    Ameraucana? Hen or Roosters?

    I just received these two yesterday and they are about 3 months old. Are these two roosters? Here are some new pictures. If you need more, I would be happy to add more. Thank you in advance for any advice. I'm hoping neither are Roosters since I live on the edge of town and its not allowed.

    Hello. I have a question. I have a rescue hen she came to me with a rope on her leg and never left lol. I found her a home 2 yrs ago and the woman who took her called and told me to come get her because she was attacking her other chickens and ducks. So we bought a coop and built a large...

    Its been awhile since I've posted and I haven't been getting any alerts...I thought the group was just quiet. I do have a quick question. Is it normal for my hen to want to roost at night on top of the coop? Now the coop is the type you buy from a farm supply store. Should I put up another...

    Thank you danz and Trish. I'm using pine shavings in her tray area, but the nesting area I have straw. I've been lucky so far, she seems to only poop outside of her coop area where she sleeps. I'm going to have to google around for a Vet site to read up more on how to take care of chickens. I...

    Thanks Trish. We have a small window at the top that I leave open and we also put in another round vent at the top across from it, plus the roof on the edge has a small opening on both sides. We are only insulating the thinner walls. The plastic will be around the sides and front, the back is...

    Thank you Danz. I hear so many differently things about heating, I know the only one I would use is the panel. Same with other things like some people say use sand inside the coop, don't use hay for bedding.....etc, it sure can get confusing for a first time hen owner. I'm going to insulate...

    Hi everyone. Well our coop area will be completely done tomorrow, we have the frame up so the last thing to do is put the poultry netting up. Here's a question, that I'm so confused about. As some of you know I only have one chicken, this is because the woman I adopted her from didn't want...

    Here is my new girl. She still is shy and not as active as I thought she would be, but she probably is just adjusting to the new home!
