    Help! My hen is super aggressive towards my peeps !

    She's been super super broody lately, so I'm worried about moving her. Despite this she's a really terrible mom.. her first peep managed to squeeze between a 1-2" crack in the back of the henhouse and couldn't figure out how to get back in(Note that the henhouse has a small area around it for...

    Badly limping hen, no physical damage, no Mareck's..

    My roo's favourite hen has a serious limp, and I thought it was because he was rather rough with her when they went at it- but it's been over a week and I've seen no improvement. Cleaned off the bottoms of her feet, and there's nothing stuck in her claws that I can see, and she's been vacinnated...

    Free standard breeds to a good home

    My landlord who was formerly okay with the chickens has now gone crazy and insisted I get rid of most of my flock I've got to get rid of 11, and I'll be happy to give them away to a good home. Some or all. They're all very docile and hand raised, and just LOVE people. I'm giving away 6 Holland...

    Having issues finding zoning for Carroll County, MD.

    When last I looked(October), I found their zoning code pretty strictly written out as "No chicken coops within 200ft of residences or churches", but it didn't have a limitation on the NUMBER of chickens you can have. Does anyone out there have any links I can follow(To legislation only please...

    Winterizing your coop

    Hey, my coop is rather small for all my chickies- they all have plenty of room, I mean, but I don't see them spending all winter under the heat lamp. What can I do to winterize my chickens? They're about 8 weeks old and the first really chilly winds have come in, so snow will soon follow. I was...

    Dust bins!

    I know chickens love dust baths- whats the best way to go about incorporating this into their pen? (Note the earth I live on is hard-packed and very damp most of the time) I was thinking of getting them a sandbox and putting it under their coop so it doesnt' get rained on. Suggestions?

    Will pullets and cockerels spar?

    I've noticed that.. almost all of my chicks from my 'straight run' have been play-sparring, marking out a 'pecking order'(lulz) I suppose. I know they establish dominance, is it by play-fighting? Nobody's come to blows yet(Except our big rooster, aggro, who will occasionally accidentally grab a...

    Very ill baby chick. Broken neck? Idk- experience lacking, need help!

    I found a baby chick(The giant of the batch) sick about a week ago, she was just sitting under the lamp for two days straight. So I noticed she hadn't moved so brought her inside(Assuming she was just super cold). Put her in a box with some fresh straw, water and feed. I noticed she wasn't...

    New flock from Maryland

    Hey all. This is my first flock of chickens(We've had them before when I was young, but I didn't do anything but feed them)- the family farm raises cattle and I thought it'd be nice to put our abandoned chicken coop to good use, so I went ahead and bought a mixed batch of chickens from mcmurray...
