    Free ranging

    I let my chickens go full free range today instead of putting them in a larger space. After about 40 minutes they went back into the small coop. Is this normal for chickens?

    Injured Buff Orpington

    My chickens are around 6 months old. The other chicken put its beak in the cage holes and got stuck. I’ve treated her toe so I can’t get a picture of the injury.

    Injured Buff Orpington

    My Buff Orpington hen has had trouble growing her middle claws. Over the past few weeks it lookedlike the one on her left foot was growing but today it looks like the nail broke off. I haven’t gotten a good look at it but I know it’s not bleeding. She is resting a lot and only walks when she...

    How do I stop this

    I tried to do something similar but they kept pooping in their food.

    How do I stop this

    Thank you, are there any common places that have the size of gauge I would need?

    How do I stop this

    They do have a larger pen that is going though repairs because some of the chicken wire was bent and they tried to escape. Before that we would put them in the large area at least once a week with supervision. They unfortunately can’t be fully free range because we have a large dog and...

    How do I stop this

    This picture has the feed and water containers I typically use. At the moment the feeder is on the ground and I am currently using a warmed bowl in their coop.

    How do I stop this

    I thought so, thank you for helping me figure out what it is. Is there anything you have done to get them to stop or at least reduce the injuries?

    How do I stop this

    My chickens keep getting an injury between the beak and comb. Today I had a big scare with my Buff Orpington, she got one of the mysterious injuries along with my dominant Delaware hybrid hen. Even when I had my rooster all of them got the ingury so I don’t think they are hurting each other...

    Odd deformity

    One of my Buff Orpingtons has a toe deformity. Neither of her middle toes has a nail and it has caused her to be a bit smaller than the other chickens. Should I separate her so she can gain a bit more weight or should I keep her with the other chickens since it’s not a large difference? The...

    Crowing

    We’ll probably have to give him to the person who we got him from.

    Crowing

    I’m not unfortunately, I live in the city.

    Crowing

    Because if he won’t stop crowing we’ll have to get rid of him, if we do that there’s a high chance he’ll be slaughtered.

    Freeloading hens

    I have 6 hens who are nearly 5 months old and are being fed layer feed and mealworms with ground up eggshells. I have also tried putting false eggs in the nesting boxes to get them accustomed to the laying section of the coop. I have a Delaware hybrid hen and rooster, two Buff Orpingtons, and...
