    Mysterious Hopping Hen with Pendulous Crop

    Hi - flock are all moulting and my hybrid layers got extra grouchy and tore into my Welsummer so I fear we may have caught this too late. The video is our Easter Egger, Mallie. We love her eggs but she is also my daughters pet. She’s always been a bit of a piglet when it comes to food...

    Location and floor of coop and run

We live in CO and so I have winters to consider, and in terms of keeping the coop dry and warm, want to locate it in the backyard where it has the best protection and a good dose of...

    Nooobie from So Cal - dreaming chickens
