    Suddenly Blind Chicken

    My hen who was born with very tiny pupils that don't react to light had started staying in the coop on cloudy days about a couple of months ago. I thought nothing of it and let her be. She always slept on the highest perch which is about 6 feet off the ground. Yesterday when I let them out I...

    Types of wood

    I'm having a coop built and need to know if there are any types of wood that absolutely cannot be used, which are best, and whether pressure-treated wood is ok. Thank you!

    Broken joint

    We have a buff orpington (sp?) who was hit by a car this past Thursday. She received a broken leg at the joint. My neighbor doesn't think anything can be done for her and hubby doesn't want to bring her to the vet. Right now, I have her in a box in the house. She is eating and drinking with...

    Egg laid inside out

    One of my Rhode Island Reds (who I am assuming was the runt of the litter as far as eggs go) laid her very first "egg". I went into the coop and found an egg without a shell. The yolk of the egg was surrounding the white of the egg which means the white was the center. (Sorry, I don't know...

    Hen not leaving coop

    Hi! I'm new to the whole chicken rearing thing but I'm loving it. Ok, here's my problem.... my 5 month old Rhode Island Red pullet has not come out of the coop for at least 24 hours. I believe she was the runt of the flock for she is slow in developing meaning her comb has not come in all the...
