    Aftermath of Racoon Attack

    I woke up this morning, and usually I have a “ritual” of waving to my flock from the bathroom window upstairs, and usually they’d honk and start getting restless. Today, I noticed little movement in the coop. There were my two Pekins, but they weren’t giving me their usual side eye. I saw brown...

    Sick rooster?

    So I have a rooster who seems a little... off, today. For one, he didn’t run out when I poured the food into their pen, but he was drinking water. He kept wanting to go back under the coop and stand there, but I thought maybe being free range for a bit would help him. He’s pecked at a few things...

    HELP: Rabbit in labor

    Hello! So this morning I looked into the hutch and saw a kit sitting on the wire, still alive. I had no idea my doe was pregnant, and took action to remove it and the mother and placed them in a Tupperware. I put some rabbit fur Ive been collecting in there, since the “nest” the doe made was 3...

    Droopy chick

    I put my chicks outside today, and I fell asleep once I finished. When I woke up, it was raining. I ran and grabbed my chicks and brought them inside, letting them dry under a hair dryer and giving them food. One of the chicks doesn’t seem to feel well and her wings are drooping and her eyes are...

    Good small dogs for protecting flock

    Just wondering if there’s a smaller breed of dog that’s good for guarding chickens? I know corgis are good, but what else? I’m looking into buying a dog but also using it to guard the flock, especially since we want them to be free range in the day :)

    Would it be wise to start closing up my flock in the coop?

    We got a new coop today, it’s an enclosed thing with a fancy looking coop. I was scrolling through here and read that raccoons can open locks and even chew through wires. I might go out and shut them in the coop just to be safe, but I’m wondering if there’s any way to predator- proof the hutch...

    Chick keeps leaning back before leaning forward if she goes too far

    I got some new chicks to add to our current flock today, and we’ve already lost one chick due to a poor decision on my part. Right now one is displaying odd behavior, where she’ll be standing there, then start leaning back before catching herself and quickly leans over. Also, a few times it...

    Whens a good age to put chicks outside?

    My chicks and ducks are about 4 1/2 weeks old right now. I saw that people usually put their chicks out permanently at 5 weeks. They are outside in the hutch right now, it’s 1:20 am and the temperature is about 56-57 degrees (that’s the lowest it’s gonna be). My mom didn’t want me to put a...

    Hello ^^

    Hello! My name is Angi. I am a first- time chicken and duck owner. I own 3 ISA Browns and two White Pekins. We used to have 4 chicks but one died due to unknown circumstances (I think the cold). As for letting them run around, we have a little dog pen that we put outside in a garden that they...

    Lethargic Juvenile Chick

    Hello! One of my chicks was moving her neck weird, and I looked it up and saw that it was usually a symptom for sour crop. There weren’t any other symptoms, but her crop looked a little swollen. Upon trying to have her throw up, I realized that the crop didn’t feel particularly hard or swollen...
