    Please offer your thoughts

    Noticed my girl had this all over her face and comb. Has happened quickly and I am very bummed. It is on both my buffs. I have read a crap load on what it can be and feel confused. Any thoughts? Thanks

    Hawks finally did it

    Yesterday, I went outside to hear a commotion coming from the yard. I ran back there to scare off a coopers hawk from a dead hen. Very sad. The rest of my hens were scattered and super scared. The hawk flew to a near by tree and was making a racket. Then I noticed that there were four...

    RIP Rosie

    To whom it may concern. My wife recently went in the yard to find a lifeless Barred Rock named Rosie. She was our first layer and a great young lady. I thought I had built a fortress ready to fend off any varmit but there was one weak point and my dog found it. So Rosie is no more. A video...

    New chicken rancher

    Hey chicken people, My flock of 5 birds is doing well and they are rather spoiled (Except for Rosie RIP). I have looked around and feel I am doing well as a responsible chicken rancher. I am using the deep litter method and have wood chips in the run. I am curious if I am missing any disease...
