I have a 3 year old hen that recently started acting strange. I've noticed she seems to be walking slower and when she does walk she'll take a few steps and then rest. More than not i find her resting somewhere in the yard. We first thought maybe her foot or leg was injured but we found nothing...

My henrietta A white Maran laid her first egg at 21 weeks 3 days! I found it laying In the run.

We just got our first egg! Jordan our 20 week old speckled Sussex did it. I had them all outside free ranging when suddenly Jordan took off running to the coop. Five minutes later I realize I couldn't find her anywhere. The last place I thought to look was the nest box. But there she was...

I have 4 chicks that are currently 10 weeks old. Chicken math kicked in and I just order 4 more than will be ready for pick up on May 27th. So question is when can they all be together? I kept my first 4 in the house for 9 weeks while we finished building our coop. So they just moved in a few...

I have 4 chicks all 8 weeks old. Our lavender orpington is the chicken in question. She started off slowest to grow but friendliest of all. Suddenly she has zoomed around the others in size and is starting to get red waddles! Her comb is taller than the other chicks too. Is she a he?

Is this chick a roo?

Well our chicks ran out of room in our Rubbermaid so I went to our local walmart and got a watermelon box. We just got hammered with a bunch of snow so our coop building got delayed. :( I'm hoping we will be done in the next 2 weeks.

When can I turn the heat lamp off? My chicks are 6 weeks old tomorrow and they have been sleeping in my basement. They have been acting like they are getting hot. I've raised the lamp about as high as I can and it is about 70 degrees next to their box. Are they ready to be without it? We haven't...

I have been looking online to find out if manna pro medicated chick feed is organic. Does anyone know? Thanks!

My husband and I are building a new coop and run for our chicks. Our original idea for the run was to make it completely out of hardware cloth and have it completely enclosed with a top. However, we have discovered that it's outrageously expensive so. We were thinking what if we took chicken...

Last night before bed I checked on my chicks like usual and found dried up blood all over their perch and assumed the worst. I then see my lavender orpington with blood on her face. I get her out of the brooder box to investigate more. That's when I discovered she had blood on her toe from a...
