    Bowl of water for chickens?

    This may be a stupid question. We are going away for a few weeks and while I do have a chicken sitter, I felt the need to add extra water options to make myself feel better. I bought a second 1 gallon traditional waterer with the plan to put it in the run but then realized that having the sitter...

    Bumblefoot and vacation

    We have a chicken that I'm assuming has bumblefoot. She has a bubble looking thing with a little dot in the middle on the top of her foot in the webbing between toes. The problem is, we leave for vacation Saturday morning and don't have a chicken sitter that would be able to do anything. It...

    Please tell me this is a pullet

    I've been nervous about this one for a few weeks now. These are about 10 week old Champagne Eggers. I feel like comb and wattle are a bit more pronounced but I'm more concerned about the lighter feathers around the neck and the slightly curled feathers near the tail. Behavior has been the same...

    Leave out or leave in?

    We just got back from a few days away from home to realize that our chicken sitter did not let the birds out of their coop this morning. It's mid 80s here and the coop is made of metal so a few of the girls had their mouths open by the time we discovered it. We live in town so we don't have a...
