    Chicken ate an antidepressant. What do I do?

    No they don't. Pet chickens live wonderful lives indoors and have a much healthier and longer life then outdoor coop chickens.

    Suprelorin implant with an already formed egg

    I've just given my girl her second implant at 10 months and this does not cause egg binding. After the first implant she only laid once more (she was only 5 months old) and now she's still laying a week after this one (it can take up to 2 weeks). But no it doesn't cause binding. All it does is...

    Sapphire Gem - Leg color

    A little late to the game here 😂 My girl had very grey legs up until recently (almost 8 wks old now). She's getting more yellow and she gets older. I started to worry about jaundice but on research they seem to be a mix of results for leg colour. Re the mix, I read they are Barred Plymouth...

    Sophie the Sapphire Gem House Hen

    I do not, but my neighbour has one for her duck! I got a cat/small pet backpack off Amazon. It was really easy to train hero go in just using chick mash (wet chick food). She now sees the backpack and hops in. On hikes I wear it on my front and most of the time she sits on the top of the bag...

    Baby chick eyesight

    Thanks for taking a look. I don't think she's blind as she sees things like a dog leash dragging and squaks and runs (I think it looks like a snake?). It's the distance that she's funny with, but from what I've read they're supposed to have great distance vision, at least in the sky?

    I can try 😂 Let me know if any of these work/help. If not I'll try to get a good flash on her.

    Baby chick eyesight

    So I'm raising Sophie, a bonded house chick, and I've noticed some possible concerns with her eyesight and hearing... But maybe she's just stubborn... Haha She is 3 weeks old today. Since the first week, it seems if I get too far away from her, even though I'll be calling her name and making a...

    Sophie the Sapphire Gem House Hen

    Thanks Boppo for the info. Will definitely read. As for Sophie, she'll be quite happy as a single hen because she won't be alone still. Because she's a bonded chick, she won't really know she's a chicken, but will more likely consider herself a human or dog. I did a bunch of research first to...

    Will one chicken get lonely?

    You could raise her as a bonded chick/house hen if you can't get more chickens. Many house chickens live with other species as their family.

    Sophie the Sapphire Gem House Hen

    Hola! Sophie and I started this wild ride of raising a bonded house chick 2.5 weeks ago. She hatched Monday July 24 and came home Tuesday July 25. Been loving using this site for great insight and resources whenever I have questions. Thought it was about time I actually joined instead of keep...

    At what age does this stop? My 2.5 week old still shakes when resting/falling asleep but not any other time.
