    Why is my chicken being weird?

    I went to go to lock up my girls tonight and one of my hens was peeping but it was like this weird peep, the squeak peep that she does before she lays, I thought it was weird because it’s dark.

    I’ve had a cough for a couple of days and no other symptoms. I was just wondering if my chickens can get sick from me? I know they have sensitive respiratory systems so I don’t want to get them sick.

    Dirty vent?

    I’ve noticed for the past couple of weeks that one of my hens has a dirty vent. It has this white, light brownish color and it looks like it is matted to her vent feathers. None of my other birds have that. They get a healthy amount of treats, not too much (I’ve heard that can cause it) what...

    Why is my chicken making this noise?

    I went out to go check on my chickens and I hear one of my hens in the nesting box, facing towards the wall, making this odd, almost like squaking noise, it sounded like a concerning noise to me.

    Is first Saturday lime safe for chickens?

    I have a question for all chicken keepers. Is first Saturday lime safe for chickens to eat? I’ve heard it’s safe for them to TOUCH, but I haven’t heard that they can eat it. My chickens tend to peck at their bedding and I don’t want them accidentally eating it if it’s not safe.

    Chickens scared?

    My chickens have a treat thing that they peck to get treats. It hangs from the top of their run and they know how to use it. They’ve been using it fine for weeks and they haven’t been scared of it. Today, I filled it up and I was walking around their run to see if the coop needed to be clean...

    Is it ok to give chickens treats before bed?

    I give my chickens a black fly larvae mix with some oats and things, I didn’t have a chance to give them treats earlier today so I gave them it now and it’s about 15-20 minutes before they go to bed. Is it bad that I gave them treats RIGHT before bed, or is that ok?

    Pale comb on speckled Sussex?

    I’m new to chickens and awhile ago I posted about how my speckled Sussex stopped laying. She still hasn’t layed an egg in about 4-5 weeks and I’m really concerned. She is preening, eating, drinking, scratching the ground and everything but I just noticed today how her comb is pink. She has...

    Chickens not using swing?

    I’ve heard chickens love swings, so we built a swing for our chickens and it’s been up about 2 and a half weeks and none of them use it. We put some treats on it and they just eat it off and not fly up. And we even put a bird on it and she just flew off immediately. What should I do?

    Rainy and stormy?

    Hi! So today was a huge rainstorm, lots of rain and some wind. My chickens got a little wet, but they all have waterproof feathers and tarps to prevent all rain from coming into their run. They’re coop is all dry. But I am concerned about sickness. Their run was pretty wet because the wind blew...
