    Does that normally cause so much limping, or should I be looking for another cause?

    Hen limping - weird growth?

    IMG_3818 by pdxchickgirl111 posted May 30, 2017 at 8:02 PMWe have a 5 year old New Hampshire Red who has been sticking close to the nest lately. She's never been prone to broodiness, so this was unusual for her. When we finally got her out of the coop a couple days ago we noticed she was...

    Funky eggs

    Our pullets started laying about 2 or 3 weeks ago. So far the eggs have been normal, but one of them (we think it's our New Hampshire Red) has been laying funny shaped ones, small (slightly bigger than a ping pong ball), not smooth (kind of thick looking in some places), and flat on one side...

    Pumpkin seeds for young chickens?

    I haven't gotten around to carving my pumpkins yet so haven't offered them to the girls yet. Now thinking I may just give them the guts and roast the seeds for myself!

    Pumpkin seeds for young chickens?

    Oh good idea with the mixer. Will try that if they have any trouble eating them whole. Thanks!

    Pumpkin seeds for young chickens?

    I'm sure you all get a lot of questions about pumpkin this time of year. I want to give the guts and seeds from my carved pumpkin to my girls, but are the seeds too big for 10 week old chicks? What age do they need to be to digest them?

    Lonely hen and new chicks - how and when to bring them together

    That's kind of what I was hoping, that without the natural craving for calcium they won't have interest in the oyster shell. Will keep an eye on it though. We have had them in an adjacent temporary coop, so they can see each other, but neither the hen nor the chicks seem very interested in the...

    Lonely hen and new chicks - how and when to bring them together

    Our babies are getting bigger by the second, and we think they'll be ready to integrate in a couple weeks. But I'm worried that if we put them in with the hen, will they get into her oyster shell (we give it to her free choice)? Or will they have no interest in it? I know it can be bad for...

    Lonely hen and new chicks - how and when to bring them together

    A couple of days ago one of our two Blue Andalusians died suddenly. The remaining hen is distraught, of course, but seems to be handling it all right. We've put a stuffed bird in the spot where her "sister" used to sleep, and that seems to bring her some comfort, but she's still awful lonely...

    Black cherry tree over the chicken coop?

    We are backyard chicken newbie's, and have recently acquired 4 adorable little chicks that are growing like weeds. We have been busy building them a coop and hen house in the corner of our yard, but have recently discovered that the large tree hanging over it may be a black cherry tree. I am...
