    Stinky Pine Shavings?

    Wondering if there is a way to fix this issue? My coop is covered in pine shavings - however, sometimes the girls will bump into the waterer (or, I will) and water will spill. If I don't realize it right away - and if the pine gets wet, it smells like urine. 1) Is this normal? 2) How can I...

    Trees/Bushes for Chicken Run

    Any idea on the best trees/bushes items to put in my chicken run? I think the barreness of it sort of leads to the pecking... but it is only 5'6" tall - so not sure what I can get in there? I would like some trees/bushes they can snack on and nest in but not ruin - and any idea for other items...

    Are my chickens bowing to me? And other questions

    Ok, I am curious. When I pet my girls, they developed a new behavior... they sort of bow. Their head goes down, wings out a little bit, tush up in the air and sometimes the feathers around their head & neck will puff out. They are about 22 weeks old. Is this normal? Is it good? Or does it...

    Wry Neck???

    Hi. I have a silkie, Sophie. Approximately 8 weeks old. She was pecked about 2 weeks ago -- see injury below: I isolated her and she healed fairly nicely... but her head just recently seems to be 'crooked' so from some research I am gathering it is wry neck. Please see below for angle of...

    Cocci???

    Ok, so -- I called my local Blue Seal... ...I was told (they don't carry Corid) that the medicated feed would treat Cocci, and then some antibiotic (with a D, I think?) powder that treats lower infections (as opposed to respiratory) and that if they had Cocci they would be on their backs feet...
