    My Hens Are Dying. Can You Help?

    Sorry for your losses. This reminds me to cut back on the scratch. I raised mealworms for awhile and found them to be almost as entertaining as my hens.

    Serama Bantam Tips

    I have same question in SC but have an open with 3 walls at one end covered coop/run. Must I create separate housing for Seramas during cold? They do have perch with wall-mounted heat where they sleep at night. Days they hop down and are exposed again to cold.

    Lost my flock of three chickens today....

    I am saddened to read of your loss. Our chickens- with- names are part of our family, too, and I know how disheartened you are. Sounds like you had a good setup and maybe with a little modification you could make it safer for a few more girls. I hate to see you give up with a broken heart...

    I have a sweet Ameracauna who has been broody for two weeks. When I get my Tractor Supply chicks this week, could I try to see if she will adopt the chicks? Backup plan will be the "mother heating pad cave."

    Maybe someone in Greenville area would house your chicks until you can get landlord to approve and you get coop built.

    I NEED CHICKEN NAMES FAST!!

    I began by naming them after presidents' daughters, but when Jenna Bush had to be changed to Jeb Bush, and Sasha and Mileah also started crowing, I had to change strategies, so I named others by their appearance to tell them apart: Spot, Buzzard, and Skunk. With all the great names people are...

    Review by '' on item 'Marans'

    Got these 3 gals completely by mistake, as I thought they were another kind. They were the ugliest pullets, and I named them according to their appearance, ie: Buzzard, Blaze, and Skunk. Now, they are a year old, shiny and black with the copper necks, and produce dark brown but nowhere- near...

    I started my colony a month or so ago and now find watching the mealworms to be almost as good as watching chicken TV. Thank you for your clear and concise instructions, and happy new year.
