Its been a rough few days at our house.
Here's the story (sorry it's a little long) 3 weeks ago I added 2 pullets (a Houdan and a OEG mutt) to our flock, and was introducing them (slowly) to our flock of 3 LF and a Serama (all are 11 months old).
There was some pecking, naturally, but they all...

Any insight?
I think these are all the same type of mushroom in various states of...
Hi!
I recently added 2 new chickens to my itty bitty flock (there were 2) - so now I have 3 pullets (Nelly, Harriet and Blue) aged about 3.5 months and one (Phyllis) aged about 10 months. The older one is laying already but I'm feeding them all the chick starter food. Should I switch everyone...
Hi all,
This is my first post about our glorious coop. My husband (who is NOT a carpenter, he's actually an emergency veterinarian and I've never seen him build anything) built this without plans and within 8 weeks (while working full time, crazy long hours and very little sleep).
It's...
