hello everyone,
Yesterday when putting our girls away (we only have a flock of 4) we noticed ‘Lady’ was acting different so when my husband grabbed her we were able to see this. It doesn’t seem to hurt when I lightly touched it. I did give her food to make sure she’s able to eat which she can...
Issue number one: Unfortunately we have been getting very heavy rain (it doesn't rain like that in Southern California) my coop got flooded and our flocks feet got really muddy and yucky. Anyways today we did a clean up and cleaned all their feets. I noticed two of my hens have what looks like...
So I need as much help as I can get because I am about to lose my mind... Couple days ago when we were petting and playing with our broody Maran we noticed our hands were full of mites. Rewind to a couple days prior, my boyfriend had mentioned how he had these bites on him. I told him it might...

Hi All!
So I added 2 more chicks to my flock, another ameraucana and a silkie.
My other 2 are now 6 weeks old and the new ones are about 3 weeks old.
My Maran (Miss Cleo) is REALLY big, compared to the ameraucana (Mama Dukes) the one that we got that the same time.
When is it time to leave the...
Hi All!
Yesterday we decided to get some chickens after doing much research and having a new place big enough for our new pets. We got an Ameraucana and a Maran, both are 1 week old. I have had a lot of birds growing up but I'm already starting to see chickens are a whole different story.
