    This is such a great article! Very well written and I loved reading about the journey and how things changed over time. You've created a beautiful setup for those sweet girls! I really enjoyed reading this one and loved all the photos too! I loved the "Final Thoughts" section too!

    Topic of the Week - Heat Sources: Yes or No?

    I really appreciate this response. I have had chickens for 11 1/2 years now and have never used any sort of heat, but this is the first year I've been thinking of adding one of those radiant heat panels to our coop. I have 2 older girls...one is 11 1/2 and the other 9 1/2 and I'm thinking they...

    Do you think I should withhold food for a 2nd day? I feel hesitant to do so, especially since she's on an antibiotic as well and could possibly fighting a little infection. She did pass a decent amount of poop last night for not having any food, but her crop still had a good size feel to it this...

    Update: I ended up getting a vet appointment for her since I really was hoping to get an xray to see if there was anything abnormal inside of her. Her appointment was yesterday and she spent most of the day there. They did their exam and didn't feel any eggs, or mass inside of her, which is...

    Thank you so much for your reply! Yes, I saw that same thing that you're pointing out in photo and it was bedding. When I saw it from a distance I thought worm, but I poked at it and luckily it was just the bedding. They were last dewormed this past spring, so I'll get some Valbazen and do a...

    I have a Speckled Sussex hen that is 9 1/2 years old. Yesterday she was totally fine and her typical sassy and "full of it" self. Early that evening, I found her sitting in the nest box, which is odd because she hasn't laid in 3 years and she's been molting though she seems to be towards the end...

    Egg Bound - Need Advice Please

    I actually gave her dose 1 of the fish mox a few hours ago, so I will continue that for 7-10 days along with giving her some extra calcium for a few days. I will also be sure to check her crop first thing tomorrow morning. Hopefully it will be back to normal after laying that soft egg. She...

    Egg Bound - Need Advice Please

    Thank you! I have the 250mg Fish Mox...so twice a day? I'll get her started on that right away. After about an 1 1/2 nap, she started making little noises at me and perking up. I gave her a little wet feed and she ate that and got up to wipe her beak clean on the rug. lol She's strutting...
