    Indoor Chook Advice?

    We have a hen who doesn't usually like being handled, but we discovered a large injury on her a couple days ago and the vet recommended she stay inside, away from flies and dirt. The whole time she's been such a sweetheart and hasn't been struggling or trying to get away. A tad unusual for her...

    Chickens in flock, poop white and watery

    I did some research on Marek's disease because I saw it on a thread post, and it has me worried. We have five birds that are three and a half months old, which are the only ones who are vaccinated against Marek's. One of them, Madeline, is a bantam and was not vaccinated. Madeline is one of the...

    Chickens in flock, poop white and watery

    It's been a while since I have posted, which is usually a good thing because it means nothing is wrong. Today, though, I noticed my chicken coop had white milky puddles of poop instead of droppings. There were some droppings, but enough puddles that multiple birds are doing it, and of multiple...

    Cheap, Relatively Easy House Suggestions? we

    Yeah, I know, but those projects take time, and often end up unfinished. I'm wondering if there's anything we can do in a short amount of time.

    Cheap, Relatively Easy House Suggestions? we

    I know that sometimes you can't get a large house without paying a lot of money, but we have 11 birds and 6 babies soon to move in with the hens, and we want to get more in the future. Only problem is, we have too small of a house to fit them all. We've been looking for a mobile one we can just...

    Bantam pullet is slow, sluggish

    We got them the first week of May. And no diarrhea. I'm not sure when we first put them outside, but it was when they started losing their baby fuzz and started budding new feathers. I do remember there was some mold in the enclosure that we discovered after they'd eaten half of it. Could that...

    Bantam pullet is slow, sluggish

    Thanks. I think the others are all right, they are all VERY fast, but I will keep a close eye on them, and also check for mites. Do you have any idea what it might be?

    Bantam pullet is slow, sluggish

    I found her dead this morning. She didn't go into their house, I just found her by the door. I would still like to know what was wrong with her, in case one of our next babies has the same problem. Thanks!

    Bantam pullet is slow, sluggish

    I have a flock of twelve at the moment, with six more on the way. We've just moved our latest chicks in with the big girls, and I noticed something strange. Our Belgian D'Uccle bantam has always been the tamest, but I'm beginning to wonder if it's less that she's tame and more that she doesn't...
