    Please help! Dying chicken fast onset

    She was great Saturday. Yesterday afternoon I noticed she was just standing in the coop when my other two came out to get snacks. Today i found her laying unresponsive with a swollen face.

    I let my 3 girls out all day long today. I went to close the coop right at dusk but one was missing. I looked for her and called her thinking she may have gotten separated from her sisters and roosted somewhere outside of the coop. I found her dead at the edge of the yard in some light...

    Chickens/Dog Sharing Food?

    Hi Everybody, I gave the girls a ham bone to clean in their coop and then I gave it to my dog. Seemed like a good idea at the time, seems like a bad one now. I'm worried that their little poopy feet and little poopy bedding will bring salmonella or whatever else into our lives. The other...

    So I just went a bit crazy buying seeds on etsy......

    ....But for $50 I ended up with 14 varieties of veggies, 6 kinds of flowers, and 4 herbs. Fantastic (if they all get here and germinate). Combined with my leftover/saved varieties from last year and the seeds I got for my birthday, I'm up to over 30 varieties total to tinker with in 2017...

    3 new pullets for 2 weeks

    Hi Chicken People! I've been lurking the forums for quite some time, dreaming of getting chickens. It's finally happened and so naturally I would like some expert insight. My three lovely girls are a RIR named Rosie who is probably 8-10 months old and two Delawares named Juniper and Clementine...
