    Squeamish :/

    Ok, I'm embarrassed to even say this! But for some reason I'm horribly squeamish about eating our eggs. I used to eat eggs almost every day and now I can barely eat them. I keep trying to make them and eat them but I feel like I can barely choke them down no matter how I make them, my gag reflex...

    My chickens have gone crazy!

    Help! My chickens are suddenly turning mean! Normally I'll go in and they'll gather around me wanting food, sometimes one will follow me clucking softly or try to peck at a bucket or basket in my hand. I have one rooster and he's tried twice to ruffle his feathers at me, but I yelled at him and...

    Chicken fell off roost and died :(

    My poor Stripe fell off the roost and broke her neck last night :( I feel so bad, they've been roosting on the small ledge super high up next to the wall of the coop instead of the roost we built. I was going to build a real roost up high to make it safer but I was too late. :( I didn't think...

    It's still not totally done, but here is my coop as of now! Still need to add another window and some more vents. Should I put tops on the nesting boxes? What is looked like originally... And now!

    Starting my coop this week!

    I'm excited! I will be able to start my coop tomorrow. I am converting a lean to that we are currently using for horses. My husband built the horses a new shelter, and our tin order will arrive tomorrow, so as soon as we get the roof up we can start converting the old shed! I'll be adding some...

    Bug eaters

    Which breed is the best at eating bugs?? We have a horrible bug problem where I live and I've already started seeing ants crawling around :( I have given my chicks a worm and a beetle, but they weren't interested. Not sure if its because they are young, or if they will never be good bug eaters...

    Can't chickens get away?

    Maybe a dumb question, but I know that many dogs love to chase/kill chickens. When my dog was a puppy she killed 2 at the ranch I worked at. I have heard people say a dog/other predator killed over a dozen chickens in a few minutes. So my question is... Can't they get away? I know they can...

    Chicken yard questions

    Ok, 2 questions. I hadn't given any thought to this until today when my chicks began jumping out of their brooder, but now I'm worried about my fence. My focus was on keeping the predators out, but I hadn't really thought it would be a problem to keep the chickens in!! My fence is 4 feet tall. I...

    Atwoods Chicks!

    I got these chicks from atwoods, in a bin labeled straight run bantams. So I have no idea what they are! Are they all the same or do they throw different breeds in there together? Anyone care to take a guess on breed and gender?? Blacksheep and Goldie...

    Coop questions

    Hi, I need to get a chicken coop up soon and I have some questions. My plan was to build a coop using pallets but then I came across a large metal shed at lowe's for under $300. I know nothing about the do's and dont's of chicken coops, so I am not sure what to do! I have heard they need good...

    New here!

    Hi everyone, I'm new here and I just got some baby chicks last night! 4 bantams. I thought one of them was going to keel over within the first hour, he(she?) is the runt of the group and just seemed weak and sick. I'm pretty sure the feed store didn't have them at the right temperature though...
