    My hen ate a rubber band

    I guess it's not an emergency but it worries me -- I saw Mary with it in her mouth I raced over to grab it from her and before I got it -- it was gone she swallowed it. Is there anything I can do -- should I worry?

    Super Loud Salmon Faverolle -- What can I do?

    I'm not quite sure where to post this -- we have 4 lovely backyard girls. 2 Buff Orpingtons, 1 Cuckoo Maran, and one Salmon Faverolle -- Peepers.

    Construction Pix Chickentopia?, Taj Cluck Hal? Hen's Hyde Park?

    I suppose since I've had about 10 years to ponder and dream about getting another hen house it may be getting a bit out of hand (well not to me). After seeing internet pix of some very high end coops I figured my girls deserve the best so why not. I am not particularly handy (at least not with...

    introducing Dogs and Chickens

    I have new chicks coming and I am wondering if anyone can give me advice on introducing the dogs to the birds, my old dog wouldn't stand for such a thing but my current hounds are pretty gentle and our space kind of requires that everyone get along,

    Feed and Water Inside or Out, Dogs and Ladder Doors

    Hello All, I'm new to the forum so I hope I'm not asking a tired old question or asking it in the wrong place. It's been about 11 years since I've had my own birds. Back in Colorado I had about 50 chickens (all breeds) and turkeys and a few happy geese. They didn't have a very fancy house --...
