    Rodents or skunks or something, oh my!

    Hi all! We have had chickens for about four years. Last week for the first time, something has managed to burrow into the coop. A neighbor suggested a cement floor, but I worry about the chickens landing when they fly down from the perch. Any simple, safe and effective way to secure a room...

    Three cockerels and two old roosters...

    So, I have read so many threads about roosters here that I am afraid the advice I get will be to cull, cull, and cull again. But, being hopeful, I thought I would ask again...just in case. Our flock was two Silkey roosters, one cuchin lady, two Americuna ladies, two buff Orpington ladies, all...

    Two mamas, six baby peepers...moving to coop?

    Three of the baby peepers...

    Chicken limping...saw old thread...wondered about outcomes

    Greetings, all! One of our Cochins did not leave the coop two days ago. When I checked on her, she was sitting on the ground. It is cold out, so I figured she was just waking up slowly. When I checked later she was in a nesting box to lay her egg. Yesterday, she did not leave the coop...
