    Not laying

    Hens haven’t laid in close to 2 months. 4 of them are a year and a half old and the other 2 are a year old. I’m assuming it’s normal due to it being winter time? I would never use artificial light to force them to lay.....just making sure everything is ok and normal behavior since they laid last...

    Chicks not roosting

    Hello again :) So, last year was our first year with chickens. Started with 10, lost 6 to a neighborhood dog, dog came back several weeks later and took a chunk out of one of the last 4 birds, ran her to the vet where we kept her in the makeshift “icu” unit in our jacuzzi tub for 3...

    I’m heartbroken...

    We had 10 gorgeous 2.5 month old girls....they have been free ranging for a month....they always stay in the yard, as we have 2 acres. The neighborhood dogs are old and wouldn’t hurt a flea. Came home yesterday to only 3 girls, cowering in their coop. I knew there was something wrong because...

    I am new, and so confused...

    hi everyone :) I am new to raising chickens, but have been wanting to do this my entire life. My husband and I have purchased a home in a very rural area, and FINALLY I can have what I want, without restrictions. I am in my 40’s, and actually grew up gardening, but never had any animals, other...
