We need to re home this little guy. He is a bantam rooster. We intended on having only hens and he ended up being a rooster. I didn't want to sell him back to the store because I want to make sure he ends up somewhere loving. He's a goofy boy, we're just not supposed to have roosters here. I...
In Phoenix, we're approaching 100 degrees weather at night. Any suggestions on keeping them cool outside in their coop? It's open wired, so plenty of ventilation. I think it'll only get warmer from here.
Would anyone have reccomendations for safe soil to grow some grass for my hens to eat? I plan on putting a raised box with chicken wire on top so they can get to it all. I would also like to know if there are safe soils or dirt I can buy that wouldn't harm them. I heard I'm not supposed to get...

I have a chicken I've been isolating now for a week. She went to the vet for a blockage and now I've been watching her as she mends. It's been a week, now two of my chickens attacked her, drawing blood off her comb! How do I reintroduce her? She used to be the alpha, now the omega beat her up...
My chicken ate spider eggs and now looks like her stomach droops a little and is behaving very clingy. She's normally my fiery spirited one. Is there a chance this caused harm? I know it's probably silly, but did the eggs hatch on her? She's going to the vet in two days.
