    Uh oh... rooster?

    Just saw another SLW post and then sitting outside heard a "hen" crowing loudly. Yikes! I cannot have roosters in my urban flock... will have to take it back to the Agway asap! Can someone who knows (not me clearly!) please take a look at my "Meet the Flock" Page and see if Bella (who is about...

    Coop finished! thought I would share

    I finally got the last coat of paint on... although there is always something else to do. Lately the younger girls have been hopping onto the run and getting out when I'm not home. This is only a problem, because then they aren't able to get to the waterers and they could get into mischief...

    Hen not laying for about a month+

    I have 3, 1+year old Golden Comets. They laid their first eggs back in July 2010. Through the summer they were somewhat infrequent due to the heat, but laid super regularly all winter. I added 2 SL Wynadottes and 1 Speckled Sussex this Spring that are now about 16+weeks old. They have been side...

    Q about moving outside

    I have 3, 3 1/2 week old chicks-wynadotte and Sussex. I moved them into a dog crate and have them on our 3 season porch with a 250w heat lamp. Temps are going to 35 tonight.

    lighting and space question

    Hi! I have been reading all of the various posts on winterizing your coop and lighting....my coop is small, and I have 3 hens, so I am ready for an little wisdom from the experts! I just installed a 50w light as a clip on light into my coop. It is on from 6-7am and 6-7pm. The coop is small...

    Hen that is listless, sleeping all the time and not eating...

    Hi- My 4 month old hen is listless, not eating or drinking much and just generally not herself. She doesn't have mites or lice and her vent is clear. Her crop seems empty and her comb, which is just coming in, seems normal for her age. She must have decreased her eating for a while now, since...

    new hens coming to look for me to put them to bed?

    I just brought home four 9 week old hens on Sat...and they seem to come looking for me at dusk. One has figured how to hop up on the roof of the coop and then onto the door frame of the run to escape the fenced in run (we live in a city). Last night I found her at the back door of the house...
