    Blue Swedish came today! Advice on how I'm doing

    Thanks for the tip. How much do I add? Also, just making sure I am doing it right, I have a bowl of feed but I put a couple of handfuls into their water dish. Correct? One is so much tinier than the other two - my husband said they were picking at her bill and eyes, but I see no discharge...

    Blue Swedish came today! Advice on how I'm doing

    Hello - Our 3 Blue Swedish came this morning. I have had chickens for a few years now, but want to make double sure I am doing ok by these little cuties. They are in a ex-large dog crate, I put mesh along the sides so they wont pop out. On one end I put straw/hay then I put down sawdust...

    Hurricane prep question...

    Thanks- no I have too many hens and a rooster to be able to crate and bringing them in the house isn't an option. They have a 20x30 penned area, though they are usually free ranging. I have let them into the penned area and will just keep an eye on them. Thanks

    Hurricane prep question...

    We are starting to get the winds from Sandy. I live in northern RI we have lots of pines that only have branches at the top. Our coop is in the midst of such trees. When Irene hit last year I let the chickens out to find protection in the woods - but we got the hardest part of the storm during...

    Seemingly healthy chicken just dropped dead :-(

    Thank you very much I will read through all of it. I did check everyone today, all vents are clean/clear. Voices are loud and strong :-) Coloring of combs is great, they do have plenty of fresh water available in different spots.

    Is my rooster "normal"???

    I was wondering if ti was normal for a rooster to sit in the nest boxes? He seems to go in the ones the hens don't use but still ???? Also, he swings his head in a figure 8 often....is he ok? I am still working on him not being a meanie - but he still attacks my daughter and visitors. :-(

    Rooster Issue! HELP!!!!

    Thanks I just found yazzo's post. I have done the sidestep with him :-) He seems to be afraid of me, then gets testy and challenges me again. I can handle him, it's the other humans ( and dogs) I'm afraid for.

    Rooster Issue! HELP!!!!

    5 month old rooster that attacks people - and is always crowing. Will his temperament change as he gets older or is he just a meanie for life? He has gone after me a few times, but I chase him down and pick him up, then lay him on his back and take him away from the hens. I walka round for a...

    What's wrong with my campine?

    She is with 14 other hens- they are all fine. She is eating her feed and drinking and when they are walking around there is nothing unsafe for them. Her vent is moist and open, she is popping normal. Why would she have a stroke at this age? Is that common? Is there anything I can do?

    What's wrong with my campine?

    She is not standing up or moving around like normal. She is sitting or standing and has her eyes closed, but she eating and drinking. She seems very lethargic. I made a little molasses water for her and she drank some. When I put her down she kind of flopped over. She is only a few pounds and...
