    Is there such a thing as an innocent sneeze????

    Ok thanks everyone! I figured if they have been acting normal all of this time that they must be healthy. I give them plenty of healthy stuff to eat and I add cod liver oil maybe once a week. And they love yogurt. I just feel like it has to be dust. Due time for some early spring cleaning! I was...

    The Abominable Snow Chicken!

    When our first snow came last week I was excited to see what my chickens would do. Usually when I first open the pop door in the mornings they all fly out like feathered banshees! It's hilarious. Well the first morning after the snow I opened up the door and like usual they tried to fly out like...

    Frozen dropping board

    The past few days it has been really cold here and all of my chickens poop is frozen to the dropping board. Anybody have any helpful ideas?

    Should I worry about poor Babe??

    I have read a lot on here and tried searching but I'm not real sure what to search for so I'm sorry in advance if this has been covered. I have a barred rock hen named Babe who seems a little off to me. She seems quiet reserved and somewhat sleepy compared to my other birds. She has been eating...

    Still fighting the sneezes!

    I use pine shavings in their coop. And yes it gets dusty from time to time. Like today they ran out of feed before I got home ( yes I'm bad I felt aweful!) but they had scratched a mountain of litter back from under the feeder...scavengers they are. It was super dusty inside even made me cough!

    Still fighting the sneezes!

    So I have been treating my flock with yogurt and cod liver oil for a few weeks to try and fight off the sneezes without medicating. I really don't wanna medicate if I don't have to. There are no other symptoms really. Just sneezing and a few shakes of the head from time to time. This is...

    the oh so confusing light timer

    I have close to the same problem. Our light isn't installed yet but we are working on it. It will hang from the ceiling with a pull string. We were trying to avoid running the wire over for a switch. What in the world could I do for this??? Or should I change my plans while there's still time????
