    Have to rehome our chickens 😭

    Hi. We live in Los Angeles and are about to move to a property with an HOA that doesn’t allow poultry. We are beyond heartbroken about this as our 5 hens are truly our pets. How do we go about rehoming them to someone who can give them a great life?

    Ideas for building somewhere my pullets can escape too?

    I currently have a gated area in my backyard where we have a chicken coop inside for 3 of my hens. The door gets opened to their coo each morning so they get to explore the larger area. In that lather area, we have a cage set up with my 2 newest additions, 10 weeks old currently. It’s a see, no...

    Integrating chicks

    I’ve had my two 9 week old chicks outside in the area where my three older hens live. They have been in a cage but able to see each other for about a week now. All has been well. I decided to open the door to their cage to see if they wanted to free range in the large gated area around the...

    How to introduce chicks to outside?

    My 2 chicks are 8 weeks old. I’m ready to move them outside to live with my 3 hens. I think they will be happier getting more space and sun than being in my air conditioned house. However, they are used to my house that is 70ish degrees at all times. Outside, it gets into the high 80s/90s on a...

    Sudden growth spurt??

    I have a buff Orpington and an “olive egger”. They were hatched June 19th so they will be 8 weeks old tomorrow. We went away on vacation for a week and just came back.

    Bringing chicks outside to other hens

    I have 3 older hens in my backyard. We got 2 new baby chicks a few weeks ago who are now 5 weeks old. We are in Los Angeles so it’s pretty hot right now. I’m wondering when I can bring these new chicks outside. I worry that they aren’t getting enough space or sunlight since they are inside and I...

    Still questioning baby chicks

    Sorry for multiple posts. I just got my chicks yesterday. I’m still confused on my chickens behavior. They’re 3 weeks old. I’ve used several different heating variations and I can’t figure out if it’s right for them. I currently have a 100 watt heat lamp and the temperature to the left shows 85...

    New chicks acting strange

    We just brought home our 2 week old baby chicks. We have 2 of them (we have 3 hens outside that they will join when they’re old enough). They seem so frightened in my brooder. I tested the temperature before putting them in and it’s right around 90 degrees at the ground under the light, give or...

    Help with heating!!

    I’m so confused with how to heat my chicks. I got day old chicks about 5 years ago and somehow figured it out then but I’m confused this time. My chicks are suddenly being delivered tomorrow with very short notice so I’m short on time. I have my old heat lamp from my chicks before but the lamp...

    1 year old hen suddenly sleeping a lot. Help!

    My gut is saying something is wrong with one of my hens. I have 3 and they are usually out in the yard eating or grooming themselves. The last few days, one of my hens has been particularly sleepy. She has also been “yawning” a bit - i notice it if I’m staring at her for long periods of time. It...

    Paper thin egg all of the sudden!!

    My Easter egger hen is 2.5 years old and has been laying relatively consistently since she was 6 months old. I got her when she was a couple days old so she’s been with me almost her whole life. She’s never had any egg issues. I have crushed oyster shell that they seem to go through extremely...

    Withdrawal period for Clavamox?

    My hen was taking clavamox orally for a week, about a month and half ago. She was too young to lay at the time. She just laid her first egg. What is the withdrawal period for clavamox? Can we eat this egg or do we need to wait longer?

    Yellow poop - possible kidney dysfunction??

    My hen has been on Trimeth sulfa for a week now to treat a respiratory infection. She was prescribed 2 week treatment by the vet. Her symptoms are all better - although she hasn’t laid an egg since she started getting sick about 2-3 weeks ago. I read that Trimeth sulfa can cause kidney...

    Hello. My hen is on Trimeth sulfa for a respiratory infection for 2 weeks (we are about 5 days in). How long do I have to wait to eat her eggs? She’s not laying currently but I’m wondering for when she starts back up again. People at the vet told me different things - someone said 2 months...

They have been very shy since I brought them home. 2 days after I brought them home, I noticed my original hen was kind of sneezing and breathing loudly. She was acting normally other than that and...
