    110° heat index.

    In Florida the heat index is already at 108°, actual temp is 95°. My hen Annibelle is out there, in the shade and dust bathing (I can see her on camera). Should I get my sister to move her inside? She has two water sources with drops of vinegar in them. Trying not to freak out. It was 104° heat...

    Need to rehome my remaining hen

    Im looking to rehome my Dominique hen Annabelle. I've lost her sister two weeks ago to an egg related problem and now I'm losing my little Ruby to something that may be egg related.

    How cold is too cold?

    It's getting cold here in Florida (by my standards). Being new to owning chickens, I don't know how cold the temps can get that chickens can tolerate. My hens are used to 80-90 degrees. It's going to get in the 40's this week. Do I need to supplement my girls coop with heat? I don't know cold is...

    Chicken cams

    So, I have two ptz cameras I use to watch my small flock. One inside the coop and one outside. I'm wondering if anyone is interested in viewing them live as well? Not sure how to do that but I enjoy watching or checking on them while away and at home. If anyone is interested and knows how to...

    Introduction

    Hello, I am pretty new to the chicken keeping thing. Wanted to give a quick intro. (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? Yes. My first one found me. I found her in my backyard in February. Walked her all over the neighborhood but no one would claim her. She's a RIR and...

He also bumps chests with the other Brahma and does the stare down. Anyone help me identify? I want to...
