    Building a coop over the summer?

    I plan on building a coop that would house at least 10 small chicken. However, they are all free ranging chicken. So, when it's time for sleep, they run under the house. I was happy about this at first, but months later they ended up sleeping on layers on poop. I want to avoid this by moving...

    chick is fully blind due to fowl pox. should i force feed it?

    holding the food to its mouth doesnt exactly work all the time but it drinks fine. however, it's very thin and light. i tried force feeding by using a needle-less syringe. it swallowed the food, but cried each time. i stopped since i wasnt sure if that was a safe method. so, anyone have some...

    Why would my rooster and hen separate after being together for so long

    I have two free-roaming chicken that have been together since i got them (they were probably about a month old) and now they are about 6 months old.. maybe more. Just recently, I've noticed only my hen has been showing up for some food. This made me panic because I was thinking maybe someone...

    How do I get my chicken to like me again?

    I have a rooster who is about a few months old and a hen about the same. My rooster (before i got the hen) would let me pick him up and pet him whenever i wanted. He would also even wait for me to kneel down so he could jump on my shoulder. It was really fun that way. But, after introducing...
