    Rip little blondie!!

    I just found my fav girly dead in the coop. She layed an egg yesterday and the day before, was running around yesterday with the kids totally normal behaviour and then I went to collect eggs an hour ago and she was dead.

    HELP!! Found a wound on chicken

    I let my girls out today to free range and I was able to catch my smallest lady & found a huge wound on her back. Looks to be an older one but the weather has been so horrible I haven’t been able to get to them in about a week besides to fill water. I didn’t notice it earlier this week but as I...

    My chickens won’t go in if they are cold

    Sick chicken?

    I just got my first egg today & then I noticed one chicken is making a very weird quiet honk/squeak noise. She’s usually very distant and hates being touched but she let me get really close and just seems off. Idk if she’s sick or if this is normal for a hen who maybe just layed an egg???

    19 week old Americanas

    Hi, I have 3 hens and they haven’t started to lay yet. I was wondering since it’s getting really cold early this year (Ontario, Canada) if they may skip this year? I heard they slow down or stop laying in the colder months but I thought we’d still get some.

    4 week old Americana chicks

    is it okay to leave my 4 week old chicks outside? We’ve just finished the coop and have been letting them play outside in it. I’m in Ontario & it’s pretty warm this week but a bit rainy. They hate being inside now but I don’t think I can leave them out all day/night.

    Grit & dust baths

    New to chicks this year, they are 3 weeks old. My local stores only have one type of silica grit. It’s very finely ground. I don’t know what size would be appropriate or what size I should be getting for when they are bigger. Also, is regular sand ok for dust baths? I have one chick who is...
