2 small dogs got into my backyard and into my coop today. 2 of my chickens escaped unharmed, 1 has a would I am sure she will recover from, the last one was inside the nest box when the dogs came in and I am not so sure how she will do. They tore her rump up really bad and by the time I could...

OK so I have 4 girls and 2 of them have red combs 2 of them have pinkish ashy looking combs. They are all the same size but they are smaller than my friends girls who all came from the same hatch. I posted in another forum about it and the consensis is that her chickens are fatter BUT they are...
My friend and I got our chickens from the same hatch. We got them when they were around 9 weeks old and her chickens are now so much bigger than mine. Clearly I feed them every day and I have been watching their poo for worms... everything seems healthy but I keep wondering if there is something...
Ok so the last couple days the girls have decided to roost in the tree during their time out of the run area. I don't mind this at all and part of me wants to let them stay there overnight if they should so decide but I am trying to plan ahead for potential headaches in this situation. I am in...
HMPF! WEll whoever it was never met my chickens!
THe other night my eldest child was eating a hamburger. He was sitting outback and the chickens were just chasing bugs and enjoying the good life. Suddenly they spotted his hamburger and came running, but Erick wasn't giving it up...

I am thinking we need to clip our girls wings as they are becoming rather good at flying around the yard. I would hate to lose one in the neighbors yard... can you imagine? But then again I am afraid of them not being able to run from predators. They only come out of their covered run in the...
Everynight before bed I let my girls get out and run around in the back yard. Normally I stay outside with them but tonight I had to go inside and so I had my eldest sit outside with them. When I came back out he had already rounded them up (not that he needs to do that) and I thought to myself...
My friend and I got our girls from her mother. They were about 8 weeks old when we picked them up and they all were at my house until late yesterday. Aimee came to take her girls home with her. So after they left we cleaned up the yard and moved the coop. We let the girls out of the run in the...
I just got my chickens last wednesday and they are eating and drinking fine.. about 9-10 weeks old now I think. It's extremely hot here right now. Today it was 106. I have a fan on them all day and they are under a tree in the shade all day as well. NOt too much panting going on and they get a...
We got our chickens last weekend. My friend and I decided to get chickens at the same time and her mother hatched a batch of eggs and kept our pullets for us until they were 8 weeks old and we went to pick them out last week. It appears most are sex linked but we are thinking this is an...
First I want to say, thanks for having this board(to those who started it) and thanks for posting chicken lovers.
I am in the learning stages of getting ready to own and raise chickens. Our city ordinance says we can have up to 4 chickens in town. I would like to get some good layers but I live...
