    Breaking the Law, Breaking the Law

    Thank y'all so much for your responses. Sorry for my delay. We are super angry, heartbroken, and I feel so guilty. My little boy loves his chickens, he's 2.5 years old and has Cystic Fibrosis, and the extra protein of the eggs would have been wonderful. We actually just got our first two...

    Breaking the Law, Breaking the Law

    So. Before I begin, I must openly admit that this is all my fault. As a recent first time home owner, I was ecstatic and jumped into getting my 6 chicken flock with both feet. I did not check zoning. There are a few other people in the neighborhood that have chickens, and at one time a lady up...

    URGENT Choking Duckling!!

    What about blowing in her face/nostrils or trying to use a dropper to get water down her throat? (Just throwing out ideas...I've never dealt with that.)

    Is this a Sausage Party??

    That's a great visual, thank you for that!! Super helpful to a Newb. I was hoping I'd spur some interest to help with that title...LOL...I'm glad it worked! The only one we can really tell apart is Ruth, because of her tail and because she is a total nut, and one of the Amberlinks who is...

    Is this a Sausage Party??

    Thank y'all so much! I feel very lucky, sheesh. I was sure Baby Ruth would crow soon; she's just such a Boss Hogg. There's also a lot of mini-confrontations; they'll run up to each other chest to chest, look square in the eye, fluff out their neck feathers, and then one will break the stare and...

    Is this a Sausage Party??

    Hey Y'all! Got these "pullets" back in the very end of March. 3 Black Aussies, 3 Amberlinks...supposed to all be pullets. I have one Aussie who is small, but ballsy as all get out, and with a flipped tail, and LOUD. She's also highly inquisitive. She talks the most smack all the time, and...

    New to Chickens, Building Coop!

    Well they are in their new coop and run tonight! Just got finished and ate a terribly late dinner! There is still some work to do, but I'm so happy to have them in and getting used to their new permanent home! Both the gables are open, there's one window and we're putting in the other, and I...

    New to Chickens, Building Coop!

    So just an update, we expanded the coop today (in the rain and ever growing mud, ugh!) to 6.5x5. So that's close to 5.5 sq ft per bird, which I feel a lot more comfortable with. The run is the same for now, but once we move them in (hopefully tomorrow) and get everything situated, we'll extend...

    New to Chickens, Building Coop!

    I just talked to my husband, and I think we're going to extend it on the nesting box side by 2 feet. That would make it 7×4.5. We may put them in for now though, and extend it come later summer, just because it literally will NOT stop raining here, and I want these poor chicks out of the garage...

    New to Chickens, Building Coop!

    They wouldn't be too cold in the winter with the whole side open?

    New to Chickens, Building Coop!

    So the roof overhang of the coop has venting on both sides, and we're putting in 2-3 windows as well. Will it need more ventilation than that? If so, how is that done or where placed?

    New to Chickens, Building Coop!

    Hi All! So we are brand new to chickens. We got 6 chicks at the end of April, (3 Australorps, 3 Amberlinks) for eggs. We live in a suburban area of NE Ohio on 1/3 acre. My husband is almost done with the coop and run. The chickens are almost full size now, and currently housed in a huge...
