    My chicken is off balance

    Help! One of my hens is having a hard time walking. She walks for a few steps and flips her wings out to help with balance then plops down. She is eating and drinking. She's 4 years old. You can see her shake when she's trying to stand.

    Skinny Chickens and Low production

    My hens are about 3 years of age and this years Molten has been the worst. They all seem really skinny. They have food 24/7 and get scraps. What can I give to help them buff up before the snow flies?

    My hen seems sick won't move

    I got home last night and she was not doing well at all. I made her comfortable and warm and she passed peacefully. I started thinking...she's just a chicken so why am I so emotional. I kept thinking maybe I missed something. My husband reassured me I tried for a week to make her better. Maybe...

    My hen seems sick won't move

    Well here's an update. Her name is Beaker because she broke the tip off a couple of winters ago. I went and bought some Corid and treated all the birds in case it was Coccidiosis. She seemed to do a little better. She wasn't as lethargic as before. My mom just texted me and said now she's back...

    My hen seems sick won't move

    She is drinking a lot. Her crop feels a little squishy. I've given her some yogurt. I'll give her some water with a little honey. I hope she pulls through.

    My hen seems sick won't move

    My hen seems sick. I just lost one the other day. Now I have one that is away from the group and won't extend her neck. Could it be her crop is clogged? I don't know what to do. I felt her and her breastbone is sticking out???

    Got our first egg today!

    OMG, I got my first egg today too!!!! I was so excited, I ran to my neighbor's (parents) and showed them. We took pictures. My question is...Now what? I put it in the fridge. How long with it last? Do I need to start feeding the hens different food? I know I've read somewhere to put oyster shell...

    Chicks for the first Time

    You're roo looks like 2 of my BO. They're supposed to be all hens. I've been questioning if "Big Booty Betty" is really a Bob because of the comb and waddlers. Throughout my research "they" mention another spur. So far all the girls have 3 toes and a little thumb. I'll have to submit my pics of...

    Chicks for the first Time

    Aww, they're so cute. I've done a lot of research for the last 2 years on what breeds would be best and what coop to build. My husband, friends, and I built the coop during the winter inside of our barn and moved it out once it was done. I'll post pics. My original plan was getting 6 Buff's. I...

    Modified Purina Coop with full instructions and pictures (STAGE 1)

    I can't wait to see pictures. I have been researching every possible coop I can find. Debating on either buying one or building. I am so torn. Cheaper to build and we do have the lumber for it. So I'm trying to find just the right plans to really consider. Thanks for sharing.
