Hello my fellow chicken lovers!
My husband and are having a bit of a dilemma when it comes to how we care for our 3 feathered ladies during the winter. The winters in Georgia are very mild, the coldest temperatures are usually in the 20s and that's generally at night. Our coop is very small...
Hello fellow chicken lovers,
My chicken is acting very strange today. She is being much louder than normal and bawking almost all day. She also keeps crawling in and out from under the fire pit we have in our yard. She is 20 weeks and has developed her comb and waddles. She is also head chicken...
My 3 chickens used to be more docile, they would let you pet them. But now as they have gotten older they are a bit more aggressive and want to try to peck me when I try to pet them. They are 15 weeks old as of Saturday and they are barred rocks, which are known for being friendlier chickens...

My 8 week chicks found a cigg butt and I was trying to get it from them, but then they took off across the yard and by the time I got over to them, the butt was gone. I looked all over the ground and couldn't find it so I think she might have ate it. What do I do? Is she going to get a bowel...
Hello again, I has a quick question about my chicks and their night light. They tend to cry more when they are in the dark so I fashioned an LED touch light and colored it red because I had read they tend to prefer red lighting so they dont peck at sores they may get. When is an appropriate time...
I have 3 female barred rocks, they are 6 weeks old. Tonight is their first night In their coop and I'm a bit nervous. The temp is going to get down to 63F tonight and I am worried that they might get too cold. It looks like most of their feathers have come in. I don't have a heat lamp out there...
