    Mean to hen

    2 days ago one of our chickens was attacked by our neighbors dog. She seems to be fine, but is slow and sore from the attack. I have had her in the house for the past two days but felt like she was doing well enough that she would be happier in the coop. We put her in yesterday evening and...

    Hen Help

    Our neighbors dog got out and pinned one of our hens underneath our house - I was able to get to it she seems ok except she is missing a bunch of feathers off her back.

    Rooster Problem

    Our Rooster has started charging when you get close to the flock. It is especially bad when we let them out to free range, but he will do it sometimes even in the run. We like having him because we live in a very rural area and helps protect the hens, but being attacked is not fun! Not to...

    roof covering for run

    Would a "chicken wire" be ok to use on the roof of the run if we plan on locking the chickens in the coop each night? We plan on using hardware cloth or welded wire fencing for the walls.

    Chicken Run

    We have our coop up and are starting to do the run. The ground that we have is not really level and we are having a hard time getting a good idea of what would work best! We would like to be able to walk into the run. Any pictures or ideas would be helpful!

    gender

    I have 11 chickens. They were all supposed to be pullets except for the 11th chicken that was sent free - I am guessing that one will probably be a male. However, as they grow, I'm not so sure if they are all female. I will try to get better pictures of each one, but any info will help!
