    Need some reasurrance I did the right thing...

    Hi backyard friends... I am so heartbroken and really in shock. We've had a rough couple of weeks with our pet-family members, I guess I can say. I've had my four Buff Orps since day 1 and they are now about 7 months. Our amazingly gentle sweet collie loved them and would never think of messing...

    How easily can Coryza spread?

    Is this normal?? New chick mamma!

    I have 4 Buff Orpingtons that are just 2 weeks old (first ever chickens). The past few days, I've let them come outside with me and dig and peck in the grass. Maybe 15 min tops at a time. They otherwise stay in their brooder box. One I noticed today, keeps digging/scratching in the pine shavings...
