Anyone else have chickens who are 8-9 years old still laying?! I have 5 girls (leghorn and 4 bantams) from my original flock that are still healthy and very active! Yesterday there were 3 eggs!
So almost every night my Buff O can be a little aggressive and moody when I try and lock the coop up. She'll try and peck at my hand when I'm locking the inside door. Tonight she actually flew at me when I tried to lock the coop up! What is her problem! She's not like that any other time but...
Hey everyone! Went out to the coop this morning and noticed one of my Australorps eye was closed?? She seems totally fine, except she does have a messy/poopy bum right now? Otherwise she's active, eating and drinking. Think she's ok, or should I take her in? Id appreciate any feedback! Thank you!
Hi y'all, hoping someone can give me some tips on how to litter train my rabbit! He's an indoor bunny for the winter months. Then he's an outside bunny the remainder of the time. Please please any tips or tricks I can do to get him trained would be awesome! Thanks:-)
Spotted a coy wolf earlier in my front yard! Didn't even know these were around here. Luckily my ladies were in and not free ranging today! I spotted him just before dusk. Anyone else seen these beautiful but scary wolves?
So what does everyone use for their outside runs? I currently out mulch down a few times a year and it keeps it dry. I saw this sand called "play sand" I have heard of using this. Is this the wrong stuff?
All my chickens are sleeping in their nesting boxes! It was one or two once in awhile, now all 12 of them are! How can I move them out? Or does it really matter?
One of my barred rocks has a bare bum! It's been like this for months now. There's no signs of bullying, mites or anything. Thought maybe it's molting? But it's been like that for months. She's the only one with it...something I'm missing? Anyone else have this problem? It's so annoying! I like...
Woke up to one of my ladies dead :-( she was perfectly fine yesterday and last night! What could of happened? And now one of my other girls are having tar like poop?? Any thoughts or ideas please give! Thanks :-(
I have a secure coop for my birds and a bunny in a secure hutch...but will a raccoon eat a bunny? You think they could unlock latch in coop? Ahhhh I hate this! Always worrying about my babies!
Is it too early for molting? I can see new feathers growing in and they're all acting normal. I'm getting eggs still everyday too...I have about 3-4 who's loosing feathers and some with bare bums! Grrrr...I feed them extra protein and they free range. Some are over a year and some are almost a year
My black leghorn evie has been acting weird the last 2 days...she's not her chippy self! She's all puffed up and hardly walking around in the run. I saw she had a scab on her back but no signs of mites. The other chickens are acting fine and not bothering her. I just got rid of my rooster...

I love my Henry but he however doesn't return the same feelings! Every time I open the coop door he tries to attack me! Whyyyy?! I'm the hand that feeds him! Help! What and how do I change this!
