    Poop on hen rear end

    Picked up one of my girls this evening and found her rear end caked with a huge ball of poop stuck on her feathers. I gave her a bath and got all the poop off, but her skin under the caking was red with irritation. Any ideas on what this is, or will I have a dead chicken in the near future?

    Chicken Coop Bedding & When to Change It

    I hope this is the correct forum subject for my question. We read in the "Storey's" book on chicken raising, that we could use pine shavings in our coop. It also said that if we keep the moisture right and turn it every few days or so, that it would compost itself and we would just have to add...

    A Rooster in the Hen House

    Well, we started out with 16 chicks, all of which were supposed to be hens. Yesterday at 6am we were awakened to an alarming sound - crowing by one of them. It went on for about 15 minutes. This morning "he" only crowed 3 times and then went silent. We only got them on June 11th, so the...

    From Chicks to Juveniles - Feeding Help!

    Hi fellow chicken lovers, we're entering the end of our 7th week, and are within a week of adding big feeders. Now here is our question. We have a large waterer and feeder ready to go. Do we hang these just inside our coop or do we need another hanging feeder in the run? I believe it's just...
