    Limping chicken?

    One of my buff orpingtons started limping this morning. She’s favoring the leg and doesn’t want to put weight on it. We have gotten a lot of rain recently, and their coop was muddy for a while, but they got let out everyday to dry off, and the ground is now dry. Could it be Bumblefoot? Or just a...

    What to do with a bully?

    For the past few week, one of my Buff Orpingtons has become quite the bully.. She plucked my Easter Egger’s butt bare, and has moved onto my other BO (though, she hasn’t pecked her as badly.) We’ve given them toys, scratch, a flock block, expanded the coop, and let them free range supervised...

    Possible Hawk Attack? Anything we can do?

    Had my first big scare today. Was upstairs working on something, and my dad was downstairs in his office. The girls were free ranging like usual, when all of a sudden we heard screaming and a big commotion. My dad threw open the door, and saw something fly over the fence. Luckily, all the girls...

    Sick chick?

    I was hanging out with the chicks today when I noticed my littlest Orpington sneezing pretty consistently. We have noticed she isn't growing quite as fast as the other Orpington, both two weeks old, so we were going to seperate both Orpingtons, from the two other chicks (which are slightly...

    Bonding with chicks?

    So, I finally got them! Last Saturday we got our first chickens. The feed store canceled one of the breeds I wanted, so I ended up with two Buff Orpingtons, a Silver Laced Wyandotte that we're calling Snips (my three year old nephew named her), and an Americauna (which is actually, probably, an...

    Raising Chicks in the heat

    Hello everyone! So, if all goes well, we could be getting our chicks in about 2 weeks! I've run into a problem, though.. I live in Texas, and we're averaging about 95 degrees F during the day here. As they get older, how do I keep them from getting too hot? Will they be fine without a heat...

    Hello all!

    Hello everyone! A forum really helped me with my pet hedgehog, so I thought I'd give this one a go! Anyways, my name's Anna. I'm currently in high school, and I'm hoping to get a few chickens once I graduate in June. Mostly for eggs, and as a project to keep me busy (Any other person would want...
