    Indoor coop recommendations

    So one of my hens, tiny little Japanese bantam named Jafar, got attacked by what we'd been guessing was a hawk or crow a few weeks ago when the weather was nice, and we brought her indoors temporarily til she was healed. (She's fine, her eye was bruised and she had a small puncture wound on her...

    Can chickens have soft squishy crop, that isnt a medical issue?

    Ive never had chickens with doughy crop before, but my silky rooster's crop felt awfully squishy tonight. I plan to check him over first thing in the morning, but I was wondering if it was possible his crop just happens to be a bit squishy, or if I should just start looking into doughy crop...

    Flockin' 2020

    Hello! I wanted to start a cute thread for my babies to document them! We got 7 chicks on the 18th of March from Tractor Supply, 3 straight run and 4 banties. 2 of the banties are silkies and the other two are mystery though I suspect one is a sebright (which I am stoked about). I'll get full...

    Hello!

    Hey! I'm new to the chicken community, we used to raise them when I was a kid, and I've recently gotten some to try again (bad timing apparently) because I love them so very much and they are fantastic birds to keep! Weve got 7 new kids, 3 full size and 4 banties. 2 of which we are sure are...

    Question regarding chick feed

    Okay so it's been a long while (years) since I've had chicks and decided to get some this year. Well the pandemic is out and everything is closing, and I'm not sure what to do about food for them. We have a 50lbs bag of chick feed and a small 10lbs bag of chick starter, but that's about it...
