    I'm looking for any advice on making life easier for aging hens. I have a couple that are getting up there in age and it seems they're struggling a bit. I plan on decreasing the angle of the ramp into the coop after today's incident. Our old barred rock took a bit of a tumble down the last...

    Head Shaking & Lethargic

    Does anyone have any ideas what this could be? She is about 3 years old. I found her standing with her eyes closed away from the rest of the flock 3 days ago.

    First Day In Coop All 3 Birds With Bloody Beaks!

    All 3 birds have blood on their beaks! I can't see any reason why. Maybe from trying to shove their beaks through the holes in the hw cloth? The cloth is 1/2 inch. Hard to tell from the pic but they won't sit still. Any input? I do see blood on the wire in a couple spots

    First Time Exploring The Coop!

    My big girls are finally getting to explore the coop! Still need to make a better frame for the bottom I think. I'm new to this so everything is a learning experience at this point. Should I bring them back inside at night for a couple days? I'm clueless about how to do this lol:barnie

    Greens For 6 Week Old RIRs?

    I was thinking about offering greens to my six week old babies. Well I guess they're not babies anymore LOL. I have read a lot about greens being very good for them.
