Glad you found them! I just envision mine flying out over the fence and running down our street...or happening by a dog....so now they are "grounded." Safety first!

Thanks! They're resting snugly on TOP of the coop now. Oh well, they certainly have minds of their own!

Thanks! Unfortunately I had to add a roof to the run. We live in a neighborhood with lots of dogs on the other sides of fences, so too keep them safe, they'll have to roost in the coop-- NOT our tree!

A hard working mom had plenty to do, But she thought to herself, "I want to raise chickens, too." So she consulted her friends, that Wonder-Mom Lori, And ended up with some hens, but there's more to her story... "Chickens are easy!" her friends did all say. "You can care for them in just...

Thank you, I'll try it!

I've looked at the poop chart and I still can't figure it out: my chicken is making flatulant noises and shooting a a very awful smelling, watery poop. I don't see any worms in it. Sometimes the poo is normal but often it's this watery stinky mess. Any insight, please?

The other chickens were always very sweet to her. They would snuggle up with her wherever she was laying. I think they're white Wyandottes-- the other 3 girls are huge! Just not sure why she didn't mature and what went wrong. I hope the other girls will still be ok. Thanks for the condolences.

No vaccinations.

I should say, hatched!

They were born mid-may. We got our first 3 eggs this week, I think from our largest chicken.

One of our four chickens died last night. They were all hatched the same day, but while the others matured, her comb and wattle stayed small and pinkish. Then she was very withdrawn, wasn't eating or drinking much, and weighed a lot less than the other three. I'm thinking whatever she had was...

Poor Macaroni died in her sleep last night.

Good to know! One of my four pullets laid her first three eggs and then stopped two days ago. Hoping she'll start again soon, but I'm glad it's normal.

:-(

Even her feet and legs are pale.
