This is a long shot but would anyone here be familiar with someone in the central Ohio area I could pay to help me rebuild my coop? I want to use what I already have... but I'm not handy and my run and coop are falling apart.
I wanted to see if anyone had any idea what could be wrong with my hen.
She's about three years old and a couple of days ago started to act rather confused. She'd go to corners of the yard and stand there or under our kids slide. She doesn't seem to want to eat anything at all or drink. She is...
Hi there,
I had a neighbor come by recently that needed to give away their sole chicken. I told them I'd be happy to take her and add her to my flock. I set up an area for her not within the coop and she's staying there alone.
Can you give me some suggestions on when and how to introduce her to...
Hello! I'm a suburb chicken owner and lately one of my newest is acting like she's gone insane! She JUST started laying in the past couple weeks. She walks around a lot alone, paces around my fenced off garden area and eventually flies into it. If I take her out she just paces back and forth and...
Last night a neighbor called me because they had a chicken show up in their yard. I do have backyard chickens so they thought it might be mine but it's not! I brought it back and put her in a dog cage with food and water and now I'm not sure what to do! We live within city limits and most people...
Fifteen week old production red. Its never don't anything to make me think Roo but over the past couple days have notice those long feathers. Thoughts?
This six week old gal has the strangest thing going on. She walks but with it all bowed out. She is definitely limping. I can't see anything visibly wrong with the leg and she definitely wasn't born with it. She walks around my yard with her "siblings" but always supervised. What does this look...
So about a week ago my chickems were attacked by what I think was a raccoon. One of them did not make it and one I am treating for injuries. We decided to bring them into my house and put them into a dog cage until we can figure out what's wrong with the coop and secure the issues. We've been...
Last night at about 1 am I woke up to the sound of one chicken making a huge commotion. When I ran out six were huddled in the run and one was dead at the opening of the coop door. Blood everywhere. My husband and I pryed open the top because they would not budge and carried them all inside one...
I have four dozen eggs in my fridge now. This winter has been good to us so far! My family had the flu a couple weeks ago though and I'm thinking atleast one of these containers is two months old. I didn't feel like cooking anything or really even moving from the couch. Do I pitch them? Is there...
Hello chicken experts! Another question for all of you wonderful people! My five chicks are 6 weeks old now. Mostly feathered and very happy;) Today I took them outside to the run that they will share with my two full grown hens. I have them in a large dog crate in the run. Today it was 70 and...
I don't have any specific questions yet tonight but I wanted to show off our new chicks;) we already have two grown hens and were adding these five to our backyard flock! Kinda nervous as I've never had them this young before!!
If you have any incredible advice, please pass it along!
Hi! I have to RIR hens that are about 8 months old. Wee kept them outside fine so far and temps have been pretty low but it's 12 degrees Fahrenheit tonight. Next week it is going down to -8! This is columbus ohio so I expect cold but not this cold! What should I do?
Hello!
A few months back we took in two chickens that were "classroom pets'" and decided to make them our backyard pets. We were hoping they were hens but we are not too sure. I would love some insight as to what you guys might know based on the pictures. I really couldn't even begin to guess...
