    Grandpa feeder wet food

    Hello all, I have recently purchased a Grandpa feeder. It works as it should for the most part but my feed is getting wet/moldy. I do not have a covered run as of yet which is what led to the purchase of said feeder. I have spoken to others that have one and they say the food stays...

    Chicken "Knuckling" and recent deaths. Need help!

    I'm quite upset as of late due to a rash of bad circumstances. I've had 3 chickens die in the last week. Here is my situation: I had what I consider an "incident" in the run. I don't know when it happened but I came in in the morning and 2 girls were limping. Shortly thereafter the worst one...

    Chicken attacked. Survivable? What to do?

    One of my hens was attacked. Looks mostly like just turn out feathers and some bruises. Can anyone asses based on these pics? She's breathing and alert but not really reacting to anything. Just looks pissed. https://photos.app.goo.gl/YXZhCWqLeSF8hsDb8...

    Chickens not staying off porch or out of house

    It seems like every spring I seem to have this problem. My chickens free range in a HUGE yard. However, they always seem to want to hang out on my porch and a lot of times the back door is open so they get into the house and on the couch and etc etc. Not a problem itself but I am extremely tired...

    Chickens not sleeping together

    Hello again. I have had 2 chickens for quite a while but sadly one of them died. So, left with one lonely hen I decided to get a few more. I went to the local seller and bought 3 pullets. I introduced them safely no issues with dominance or attacking. However at night the 3 new chickens take up...

    Rouge guinea hen in my front yard. What to do?

    So I heard some rustling in the leaves out front a few nights in a row. Looked out to find nothing. One night it was especially loud sounding like a person walking around my house. Keep in mind this is the middle of the night. Finally I decided to let my dogs out on what or whoever it was. The...

    I'm pretty sure she's molting but.......

    this girl has an insatiable thirst. I'll put out, in addition to their normal water, a small dog bowl and she'll drink the whole thing in about 5-10 minutes. I'm pretty sure she's molting. Eggs stopped, weight loss, irritability (normal), feathers EVERYWHERE. I don't see any new growth like...

    Is she trying to tell me something?

    I have heard (maybe untrue) that quiet chickens are happy chickens. As of late my usually quiet but socially outgoing hen has been sitting at the back door waiting for me to wake up. After being fed she continues to strut around constantly sqwaking. But its not the same sound as the "I laid an...

    New fence for hens??

    I have about an acre of fenced in property. I let my hens roam around where ever they want. However, lately its becoming a problem because in the morning they sit outside my back door. That isn't so bad but one of them relentlessly tries to get in the house (See this thread...

    Might buy 3 week old EE's anything I should know before going in?

    Someone local is selling 3 week old easter eggers. I have 2 adult hens already. Is there anything I should be concerned about before buying them? How much special care is needed for 3 week old chickens? Do I have to keep them separate from the adults? Keep them under lights? Or maybe...

    Is she sick or just being her normal cranky self?

    I only have 2 hens at the moment. One (Marisol) is quite the social gal. She would probably sit on the couch and watch TV with us. Anyway, the other (Consuela) is quite the opposite. She wont come near people at all. The last couple of days it became very hot. I noticed Marisol was sitting in...

    This chicken is crazy!!

    I tend to leave my patio door open a little so the dogs can go in and out. But this crazy broad wants to hang out on my dining room chair! At time I find her roaming through the house. My other hen doesn't want anything to do with the inside of the house. If this one could sit on the couch with...

    Can chickens eat this type of bird food?

    This pic is just an example that I found at walmart but my local feed store also has 10lb bags similar to this containing peanuts, sunflower seeds and other assorted nuts and seeds for a fraction of the price of what the bags labeled for chickens go for. For example, a 2lb bag of Hentastic...

    Chicken escaped and found the neigbors coop

    I have a 6 foot stockade fence around my entire yard. Yet my chickens still get out. They do always come back, however, there is one thing I'm not sure about. I noticed a neighbor about 3 houses down has a large coop with maybe 10 chickens in it. I think one of my chickens has discovered this...

    Curious about rain

    It's been very rainy here the last few days. When I first got my hens they would sit under shelter if it were raining. However, the last few days they've been running around as usual. They are SOAKED. They look like wet puppies. I guess I'm just being paranoid but being wet like that wont do...

    Another "where are my eggs" thread

    I have 2 hens that I've had for about 1-2 months. One of them has been laying consistently nice blue/green eggs. I thought they were both laying until a few brown eggs showed up. Originally I thought they were laying the same color eggs. However, I only got 4 brown eggs then they suddenly...
