    NOT AN EMERGENCY - JUST A QUESTION

    Hi guys, I bought a lovely ISA brown yesterday, and long story short, she is very healthy but her bottom beak is a little longer than the top, it' seems to be in line but it's strange. Could it be cross beak?

    HELP! LETHARGIC HEN!

    Hi guys, My speckeldy of about 3 years is extremely lethargic and puff up. She has been like this for about a month or so? :( At first I suspected worms, but then I realised she isn't even eating the pellets coated in Flubenvet. Her poop is green/yellow and runny. Any help is appreciated.

    Keeping Hens Cool?

    Hi guys, I'm based in Scotland, and temperatures hit 24*c this morning. (Unusual for us!:D) I was wondering, my hens stay in a covered coop with access to an uncovered run if I'm around, is there any way to keep them from getting too hot?

    Hens not laying?!

    Hi guys, I have 3 hybrids who are 2 and a half years old, and out of the three, only one is laying! I know hybrids are bred for maximum egg laying in their first year, but they were VERY late to mature and start laying. Any ideas? P.S. The weather in Scotland is only starting to pick up.

    Chicken Trying to trick me?

    Hi guys, My light Sussex, Daisy, is a cheeky gal. She always has been, and always will be. But, I recently noticed she goes into the nest box, pretends to lay, sings the egg song, and comes out having not layed. She's not egg bound, or have any "problem" of that matter. She's happy as can be...

    HELP PLEASE! LETHARGIC BIRD!

    Hi guys, Sadly I'm posting on this section. My hybrid of 2 and a half is acting lethargic. She doesn't seem interested in pellets, and I haven't seen her drink. Her poop is watery. She seems to stand listless. I would have thought coccidiosis, or worms. They were wormed in February, but I added...

    Rabbit Hutch For Free Ranging?

    Hi guys, My hens live in an enclosure all the time, but I do let them out into they're huge run at the back of the enclosure for about 1-2 hours. The reasoning behind this is my dad has a lovely garden. (Garden + hens = disaster :D) I was thinking about getting this...

    Insect Farming

    Hi guys, I currently have 3 hens ( I lost the one in my profile pic 3 weeks ago) and I love giving them treats. Obviously I don't give them too many, but I've read on here a lot about about Farming mealworms/black soldier fly. I live in Scotland, so would the temperature affect breeding rates...

    DARN, SAD HEN :(

    Hi guys :( My 20 month old hen, ( a year and 8 months ) seems ill. She's my favourite hen, such a cutie. Her name is Nero. She is acting lethargic, tired, and her feathers are fluffed up. She seems to be eating fine, her poop is small gold and white, nothing too abnormal. I think she did lay...

    Brave Hen!

    Okay hi guys, So the other day I was out in my garden and my flock of 4 chooks were out. We'll out of nowhere a magpie and crow fall onto my lawn fighting, so my bluebell ( an ash coloured breed with black neck and face) decides to go over, raise her feathers, and join in! AND she fought them...

    Hi guys, My speckeldy hybrid who is 1 year and 7 months is acting ill. She is usually shy, but today she isn't eating mealworms, OR spaghetti. But, earlier she was pecking at the ground, and drinking a little. But she just seems slow and tired. I really don't want to cull her though. Thanks...

    Little Nero

    That little chicken is Nero. We got her last February, along with two other pullets. Her breed is nero, which is quite a small breed, but not as small as a bantam. She is such a character! She doesn't like being touched but loves to follow me around the garden. In May last year she got...

    CATS. arrrrrrggghhhhh

    Hi, My hens are enclosed and haven't been threatened by a cat in about 6 months (not that I know of) and today the same cat from ages ago came back. I don't believe it chasing them around the outside of the enclosure. If I catch it again I'll shoot it with a BB gun, but until then, what can I...

    Just Vanished...

    Hi guys, I'm doing this on behalf of my friend, she recently lost 5 ducks, 3 hens over the space of 2 weeks. Her enclosure wire is standard chicken mesh only about 1 - 1 1/2 metres tall. I thought this is not enough protection. Yet nothing came apart from the occasional fox. We'll then all the...
