    Chicken Walking on One Foot

    I'm worried one of my chickens hasn't been eating or drinking enough and I think it has something to do with it's foot. It seems to be tripping when it walks and when it stands only stands on the left foot. I think it might be some disease, from what I can tell it's not an injury, because It...

    I need your opinions on Coops! What do you think of prefab coops?

    Hello, I'm a college student in product design and I want to hear your hate/love about certain coops and their features. I recently built a chicken coop myself, and much of the design was inspired by the takes of people I've heard on this website. I'd like to quote them in my presentation...

    Lethargic Chicken, Green and White Liquid Poop, not eating or drinking.

    I recently had a hen die, and I didn't examine the body because I wrongly thought it wasn't contagious, but I've noticed another one of my hens is doing the same thing, but at least right now it's not as bad. Like the last one, It generally has slower movements then the rest of the hens, and...

    So I have a pretty aggressive rooster (Kaiser Fertilizer, also my username) who keeps taring up my hen's backs. He started last year, thankfully all my hen's healed ok, but it's begun again.

    Did my rooster fight off my neighbors dog?

    My chickens were recently attacked by my neighbor's dog, which is a problem in itself, I might post about another time. I was so upset because I thought I had lost a rooster and a hen, only seeing 5 of my hens out of the 7 chickens total. I saw the dog upon walking outside and the missing...

    How to get feathers grow back with "rowdy" rooster?

    I've seen plenty of evidence that my 6 road Island red hens and 1 rooster are molting, But I'm worried about their backs. The rooster loves to mate, and a few of my hens have bare backs and upper parts of the wing, very red at times. I bought a few hen aprons but they don't seem to do anything...

    Chickens Abnormally Quiet and Some Eggs Crushed

    When I went outside to check on my chickens this morning I noticed that they were abnormally quiet. I didn't think to much of it, because the rooster did crow and all of them seemed fine. When I went outside again later to file my rooster's spurs nails (I'm still confused on how to do it, if...

    Prefab Coop Ventilation. How should I do it?

    Hello, I want to know as much as I can about ventilation in a prefab coop. My chickens have been sleeping on top of the coop almost all summer, and I want them to go back in before the fall/winter starts. It's likely the reason is excessive heat and poor ventilation. I've heard people with...

    How Do I Excite Even the Most Indifferent of Chickens For Their Birthday!?

    My chickens are almost exactly one year old! August 10th is their collective birthday, the day before I got them at the hatchery as day old chicks. I'm thinking about finally naming them, among other activities. I've waited this long to name them since I knew some would die, and of course, two...

    Chicken Online Checkup (Warning, Long Post)

    Hello, I'm listing all my chicken's behaviors and conditions and seeing if anyone notices signs of something wrong. Or that something is wrong. I thought in stead of making a million posts about small things that may not be a problem at all, I'd list several things in one post. -Chickens have...

    Hen Has a Bad Scar

    I don't really know what kind of answers I'm going to get from this, but one of my chickens has a pretty large cut on it's side, and I have no idea where it came from. This past summer I lost 2 chickens, one to a dog attack while they were outside, and one to a raccoon who got into my run. From...
