    Allegra

    My Orpington hen just reached in my jacket pocket and got a generic allegra. I think she ate it. She ran under the porch and the other 3 chickens followed her. I got the rake and made a commotion hoping she would drop it. But I don’t know and the space under the porch is too small for me to get...

    Orpington suddenly stopped eating

    I have big Orpington hen 3 years old. Her sole purpose in life seemed to be to eating. But in the last 3 days she is not eating except for grass. I had mixed a little bit of brewers yeast and a little bit of 24% protein crumbles in their crumbles.i also have (3 juvenile hens) that haven’t been...

    Thoughts on Roosters??

    From having a rooster at one time, so many of my hens had no feathers on their back and I was spurred unprovoked once. I had to rehome him.

    Well with the dog crate the door opening is towards the bottom of the crate and I would either have to sit down or lay down to reach in to get them. It is a fairly big crate like say for a cocker spaniel + and don’t you know they would run to the back and it would be an effort to get to them and...

    One pic is the inside of the 27’ run the other pic is the inside of the run 7’ wide 27’ long and the last pic is where the run attaches to the coop via a covered “bridge” that I had to put in because when I showed the delivery guy where to put the coop I didn’t take into account that there...

    I have 1 Orpington hen left since a raccoon got in the run and killed all but her last fall. I am going to be getting 3 Orpington chicks with a hatch date ~May 15th. The weather will be nice enough to leave them out in the pen and I also have a brooder lamp if need be. The adult hen uses that...

    Just a lonely girl

    Late last summer a raccoon got into my coop and killed all of my hens but one, a blue black splash Orpington. Since then she has been alone. I am getting 3 Orpington chicks with a hatch date of May 15. It’s not as long a wait as it has been but it still has a way to go. I have come out here and...

    I was a nurse for 51 years. Was never squeamish about any procedure any injections nothing like that. But I sat and watched my little chicken and there was no question whether or not she felt bad you could tell she did so I read online about draining that ascites from her belly so I went up to...

    I really need some advice

    Thank you for responding to me. She does not come out of the nest box unless I go in and get her which I do every day and I just sit her on the ground and she usually goes under the porch. The other hen is very attached to her, and she will not come out of the coop unless I get the other one...

    Zero, One or Two

    I am in a dilemma. Last summer I had seven hens. A raccoon got in the coop and killed all but two of them, and an injured one of them badly. So I have been nursing the injured one and she seem to be doing good until now, and I don’t know if she is eggbound. I don’t know what is wrong with her...
