    Sick chicken - maybe worms AND bound egg??

    I'll describe as much as possible: 3 y/o Plymouth Rock. Came out this morning looking lethargic - I could see it in her eyes. She didn't eat any scratch when I put it out (VERY unusual for her!) and I haven't seen her eat anything else all day. I noticed diarrhea as well. Thinking it was...

    Dog Eating Chicken Poop

    Glad to know this is normal. I had a black lab that didn't go near it, but our new pup, a Jack-a-bee, LOVES it. Also glad to know it won't hurt him. I was wondering, however, is there anything you can do to stop it - besides the correction? I'm correcting, but I feel I need a little help...

    BR Losing feathers at neck

    My 9 m/o BR has a bare spot of both sides of her neck. I watched her last night and noticed she is sometimes scratching at the spots. I see no signs of sores or redness - just missing the feathers. I have two others (Austr) that are not losing any feathers. Any ideas? Thanks!

    DE vs. Sweet PDZ??

    Newbie here. Getting my girls today!! Anyway, I bought Sweet PDZ because I couldn't find DE anywhere. I sprinkled it on the bottom of the coop under the bedding and on the ground in the run. Now I'm re-thinking - would it be better to just use DE because of it's pesticide properties? Can...

    Chickens on Craigslist??

    Hi. New here. Trying to get set up. I found a posting on Craigslist for local pullets the age I would like. Question is, when (if) I go look at them, how can I tell if they are healthy, etc? I've never had hens before and am not sure what to look for. Ad says they have various (breeds named)...
