    Chick-a-dee Manor

    A lot of my friends have asked me to post pictures of my coop, so I decided this is the place to do it. Once I decided to get chickens, the hunt was on to find a coop. I searched the internet and looked for play houses and various storage buildings that were for sale. Then, a friend told my...

    Roosters, Hens, and Molting

    My chickens will molt for the first time this fall. (I have 9 hens and 1 rooster.) Will the rooster continue to try to mate the hens during molt? I have read that they will be very sensitive to touch as their new feathers grow in, and I do not want Solomon, the rooster, to hurt them.

    Missing egg/chick

    I know this sounds crazy, but I am either missing an egg or a chick. I had 5 eggs under my hen, Rudy. Three have hatched. When Rudy got up, I noticed that one egg is still intact, and two eggs are broken into two pieces and empty. To be honest, I have no idea what happened to the other shells...

    egg found on ground is discolored

    I found these eggs on the ground about a week apart. I am pretty sure I know who is laying them, and she lays in the nesting box most of the time.

It looks like since yesterday she has drank about 1/2 of a cup of water. I checked her bottom and there was runny yellow white on...

    Rooster likes the corner

    I have tried to do some research, but I am unable to find anything. My rooster likes to go to corners and make deep "clucky" sounds. (I don't know of any other way to describe it.) He kinda hunkers down and continues making the noise for several minutes before leaving the corner. Any thoughts

    My chick is not growing

    I got my chicks when they were two days old. They are splash orpingtons. As you can see, the one on the right is very small. She seems to be the same size as when we got them, about one month ago. She eats, drinks, and acts normal. As a matter of fact, I have seen her walk on top of the others...

    stacked perches

    Is there any reason why I can't have perches on top of each other if I put "poop" pans under each section?

    Hello from Tennessee

    Hello everyone. I just recently acquired eight new chicks, four buff orpingtons and four barred rocks. They are now about eight weeks old and not vaccinated for anything. I started reading many of the posts and have been focusing a lot of time on health related issues. Wow...so many thoughts...
