    Rooster is... broken?

    Hi all, I have some strange rooster behavior going and would love some opinions. Bruce is a year-and-a-half old Brahma who stopped crowing about three weeks ago. He seems healthy otherwise with bright eyes and no apparent wheeziness. He does seem to be chasing the girls a little less, but I...

    Sad Meatie

    We finally dove into the meat chicken world and are currently raising our first batch of 25 Red Ranger Broilers. They're about 7 weeks now and have been mostly healthy, happy creatures aside from one hen. She struggles to walk and has a wobbly, wide-legged stance. I first noticed it a week or...

    Tips and Tricks

    Hello! I would LOVE to hear people share their tips and tricks for the brooding period. In the past, we've always bought pullets and plopped them right into the coop, but this year we're planning on raising 25 meat birds. Unfortunately, my husband and I both travel a LOT for work. We are...

    Meat Chicken Tractor

    Hello all, My neighbor and I are joining forces to raise our first little meat flock of -hopefully- 25 chicks. I have a few (actually TONS! but I'll stick to a few here...) questions on size and design for the coop. I'm planning on building a hoop-style chicken tractor, similar to the...

    Attacked

    My dear, sweet, Bantam Dominique was attacked by something yesterday that didn't finish the job. She came hobbling out of the woods when I called her yesterday evening, limping and with her tail tweaked to one side. She's not used to being handled but the brief view I managed to get of her...

    Cold eggs, day 18

    Hi all, My broody chicken has been incubating eggs for almost three weeks now, but ended up accidentally locked out of the nesting box for a few hours this morning. The eggs felt cool (ish) to the touch. Air temp is at 75 but was cooler this am. My question is... Will this do them all in?? So...

    Random Acts of Feeding

    Hi all, We have a small (two chickens, one pullet, and a two month silkie of questionable gender) flock of backyard chickens. Throughout the day, they roam our acre of land (and the neighbors) and eat all sorts of bug treats. My question is about feed. We used to always keep a bowl of free...

    Tell me it's going to be ok...

    Hi all, So I finally managed to twist my husband's arm enough to convince him to build a nice little run so we can move our 4 gals from my parent's house to ours. We used chicken wire for the upper 3 feet, and welded wire around the lower 3, plus an extra foot underground. When shopping for...

    Gravel Run

    Hi All, I am a new chicken owner with three beautiful bantams and had a question about run maintenance... Our coop is under a new deck -not watertight but definitely sheltered- and the "run" is simply the porch perimeter fenced in. When we were re-building it, my father, in his enthusiasm for...
