    Favorite rooster is sick

    I don't know what is wrong. My rooster can't walk and kind of lays to one side. I looked for injuries but see nothing and legs and feet appear ok. I started giving him vitamins in water, gave him an antibiotic injection and dusted him for mites. How frequently should I give the...

    So, I discovered this

    Happened to move my well-house today and was shocked to find all these eggs. I thought they were not laying much due to the heat. Only two hens lay in the nesting boxes inside the coop. I have fake eggs in the boxes. How can I figure out where they are laying now and how can I get them to lay in...

    Anyway to Re-train Chickens?

    So, I bought four olive eggers all of laying age from someone. Kept them in the coop for a few days when I first got them, then set them to free range with my others. That night, only one of the four returned to the coop for bed and I couldn't get them to go inside. I called the lady I bought...

    What am I doing wrong?-Polish Chicks

    I have lost two baby Polish chicks-one right after the other. They seem great for about five days and then they get weak and die. The other chicks are thriving, of course the Polish chick is the smallest. They have: food, water, heat lamp, everything is kept clean. I am baffled.

    Zero Cost Coop

    So, when I decided to become a crazy chicken lady, I challenged myself to create a zero cost coop (for chickens I knew would free range all day on two acres) using things I already owned or could get for free. I divided my existing shed down the middle with a tarp. (If I keep adding chickens...

    Help please the crazy lady!

    I got these these four chicks at TSC. I don't know what breed they are. The two black chicks look very similar, but one has yellow legs and the other has pink/black legs. I think the one with yellow legs may be a barred rock? I think the black one with pink legs may be a cuckoo maran? One of...

    Different ideas for perches

    Any ideas for unique perch ideas? I have large tree stumps in the coop. I had a long swinging perch, but they didn't seem to like it that much. Is it ok if the nesting boxes are higher than the perch? my hens use the nesting boxes just fine. Thanks for sharing pics and advice!
