I have a lice problem. And I've had it for a while.
I give advice on how to get rid of lice on here to people all the time, yet it won't work for my hen.
Her name is Kiwi, she's an Easter Egger. She was attacked by a dog about a year ago and her butt has been droopy ever since. She has lice...
Okay so a bit of background info first. I have a 2 year old Yellow Lab mix puppy, who has an outdoor underground fence system. I have five chickens who free range in a large area encompassed by 5 foot tall hog wire from Tractor Supply. It is supported by about 10 posts made from 2 by 4's. It is...
A couple of my neighbors have reported seeing foxes around the neighborhood, a pair of them. I haven't yet seen them, or had any problems with my chickens, but I'm worried they'll find my coop soon and just go crazy one night. I'll be building a new coop soon, but my current coop is fairly old...
I set eggs under my broody hen on Sunday(March 9th). She left the nest for a while on Sunday and Monday, but hasn't left them at all after that. They are mutt eggs from my neighbor, he has multiple breeds if hens and roosters, so who knows who they came from! They're under my buff Orpington. I...
My sweet girl Kiwi, was attacked by a dog yesterday. All of her tail and back feathers are gone. We took her to the vet and she also has 2 holes, one on her back and one in the back of her thigh, where the teeth went in, a gash on her stomach, and her thigh is shredded. They gave us three daily...
I decided to put this in new member introductions, because last time I posted here, I did not have chickens yet. I am proud to announce that since then, I have aquired 4 sweethearts, one of which just started laying! Eagle, Kiwi, Cora, and Ginger. They have their own Instagram page, thechickies...
I'm starting the thread for my girls everyday life! Issues, pictures, and stories included! I will be posting even more often on their very own instagram page: thechickies Follow if you have an instagram! I'll start with indroductions and coop pictures, up next!
I have two girls who I got from the same person. I'm wondering what breed they are. They have ear tufts, like an Aracauna, and they are supposed to lay blue eggs, but they have a tail, like an Ameracauna. Also, Cora,the one in the picture, has a more upright posture, and is smaller than the...
If you saw my post, you know that I recently got a coop and now I'm the proud mama of 4 girls! Anyway, when we got the coop it was ugly red and had crappy plywood type wood to cover the exposed wire. I decided today that a change was in order. I started painting while the girls free ranged at...
I will be posting pics later, as soon as they go in the run today. Anyway, I finally got my coop, it's different than the one I thought I was going to buy, but I like it. I have two girls. Eagle is a barred rock, the one you might remember was staying at a neighbor's house. The new one is named...
Hi! I just found a great deal on prebuilt BIG chicken coops, so my plan is in action! I'm allowed to get five chickens at first, and the coop is big enough for 15! I already have two, one is a Dominique pullet, and the other I'm not sure, both are at a neighbor's house right now. Me and my...
