    On the eve of my 40th birthday my sister Deb and I were chatting it up on the phone, we may have had a few glasses of wine while chatting...or more. After a few conversations and giggling as if we were back in middle school, the subject of chickens came up. My neighbors had recently acquired 5...

    Rooster has one eye closed almost shut and sleeping in nesting box

    Thank you for the link. When I went out to the coop this morning I noticed one of my girls was beat up, had lost several feathers and just looked as if she had been in a fight. I am starting to think there was a fight and my boy intervened and got hurt. I am now doing warm compresses and putting...

    Rooster has one eye closed almost shut and sleeping in nesting box

    I have been reading all the posts to see if I can figure this out, Im thinking maybe CRD? or he got poked by something, perhaps dirt in his eye is what I take from posts of others. I did take in 5 new younger hens 30 days ago, one had sniffles and sneezing, could he have contracted something...

    My new hens, once again attacked

    Thanks Shellie, I think I just needed to vent tonight, I just checked on her and she is alert and snuggled up in a pile of shavings inside her kennel. Im keeping my fingers crossed and I am online learning how to clip wings just in case I do let them free range again. Thanks for the kind thoughts

    My new hens, once again attacked

    You would think I would have learned from my last horrific experience of a dog knocking down my fence and killing two of my hens. I finally broke down and got 4 new hens, Pheonix mix and Orpington mix they say(?) I have had them 10 days, the last 2 days I have let out WITH ME in the yard and...

    Lost 2 of my 3 girls this weekend

    My Hen is doing great today, she actually came out of her coop while we were outside this am and poked around for about 10 minutes then ran like the wind back to her safe nest! She looks good and I am hoping in a month or so when I put the babes out she'll take to them quickly.
