    Lots of rain

    Here in Oregon we are on flood watch. We have a roof on the run for the chickens but they are still getting wet with the amount of rain/wind. Poor things look like drown rats. Should I be concerned that they can get sick? Should I lock them in the coop? I have 2 chicks about 2.5 months old. The...

    First rain of season

    We live in Oregon and it's been raining all day. I have a spot for the chickens to go under cover under the coop some of them have been hanging out there throughout the day. But they are drenched! I don't want them to get sick. Will they be ok?

    Egg and poop eating

    I haven't had any egg issues at all til now. 1 out of my 5 chickens is laying in the middle of the coop. Not sure who. Sometimes it's untouched but sometimes it's eaten. I heard putting an egg with mustard or hand soap in it? Where should I put it so the culprit is the one to get it. Also I have...

    Broken leg?

    So while I was helping mama bird get in the coop for the night the other chickens got out. So I caught them and put them back in the run now one is limping. She isn't bleeding and won't put pressure on her left leg. How do I diagnose and help?

    Weak chick hatched last night.

    This chick hatched around 8pm last night. It was very weak out of the shell. Slept all night without a peep. I gave it water before heading to bed. This morning 7, it was chirping away but wasn't moving. Now it can barely keep its eyes open and is very wobbly. I have given it sugar water and...

    Flock raiser ok?

    I have a broody on some eggs. She has about 10 days left. I am going to keep her in the coop and run with my other chickens. Is flock raiser the best food for all of them since I have them all in the same place?

    Finding new eggs under broody

    Right now I have 2 fertilized eggs under my broody hen. We are on day 8. Candled them and everything looks good. But I keep finding eggs under her. I know she isn't laying. She stopped laying like 3 days before I put the fertilized eggs under her. I have her in a nest in the coop because I am...

    Do I tough out broody or break her!?

    I am very torn. I want to let her broody because I want to have her raise chicks in the future. But at the same time I know broody is contagious and I only have 5 hens.

    Wildfire

    Right now we have 2 huge fires happening around us. And the smoke is so bad I am unable to go outside without coughing. I know that chickens have a weak respitory system. Will they be ok? Or should I find a way to bring them inside? (Our house is not in danger of the fires)

    Bullied chicken

    I feel really bad for Lucy. She is constantly picked on. She is much smaller than the other birds. Idk what to do. We have more than enough room in the run and we even let them out in our yard during the day. She is ALWAYS on high alert. I checked on them last night and she was on the bottom...

    Eggs keep breaking

    So 2 of my black sex links are laying eggs without a problem. But the barred rock is having issues. The egg breaks as soon as it's pushed out from the drop. Idk what to do. The bottom of the nest box is plywood and we have pine shavings in there. They end up pushing all the shavings out of the...

    Chickens begging

    As soon as I let them out in the morning they run straight to the back door. There is one that hangs out there pretty much all day. Any one else's chickens do that? I think it's kinda funny. Charolette the one that hangs out at the door the most keeps pecking it.

    High anxiety chicken

    Anyone else have a crazy chicken? I have 2 barred rocks and 3 black sex links. The sex links are just fine. One of the barred rocks I swear is crazy. Her name is Lucy and is at the bottoms of the pecking order. She pecks at me and FREAKS out whenever the dog gets within 5 ft of her, while the...

    2 eggs at a time?

    So I think 3/5 chickens are laying. I have 1 black sex link and 2 barred rocks. I believe these eggs are from the same barred rock (Lulu) because her friend already laid an egg earlier in the day. Could she of possibly laid both of these? And is it weird she prob laid it before bedtime? They...

    She is going to lay?

    Black sex link 20 weeks Friday. She is FREAKING OUT! Very vocal pacing back to forth to the coop and checking out EVERY nesting box and trying to get comfortable. It's 90 degrees out today. Is she hot and just trying to cool down or is she about to lay an egg?
