    Minor beak fracture

    Poor girl got a minor beak fracture. No blood, doesn't seem like it's splitting terribly. I applied bag balm. I assume the brutal cold just made it brittle and she chipped it somewhere. Doesn't seem distressed but I noticed when she jumped up to a roost close to me when I was cleaning their...

    Aluminum run buckled in from snowstorm

    Hey all - my aluminum chicken run's roof poles got bent out of shape from the snow. The structure is still holding and I put some wood supports in for now to keep it sturdy for now. But I was wondering if anyone else has advice for how to go about reinforcing and replacing the parts here. I'm...

    Black Friday shed deals for coop?

    Your flock's personality quirks

    What are some personality quirks in your flock? I have one really sassy chicken. When she was still developing, we actually thought she was a rooster because of her big comb, size, and personality. She does not like being picked up, which became especially apparent when we had to move them from...

    Chickens hardly touch their grit - but love eating the sand in their coop.

    I keep sand only in my coop under their roosting bars so that I can sift through their dropping daily. They used to eat chick grit when they were younger, but ever since transitioning to adult grit months ago they hardly touch it. So far they haven't had any digestive issues, and I see them...
