Does anyone know how long is too long for Ginger to be on her own? Obviously I don't want her to feel lonely or be more susceptible to any illnesses because she gets depressed but at the moment, the loss of Belle is making it hard to look at other chickens. I guess I feel you should be excited...

You have a beautiful coop and run...ours is a bit bog standard but we've hoped that as we get more time we'd be able to build a little more for them but I don't think it will in any way compare to yours!

Hi - Unfortunately we are in England so sending Belle to CA might be a bit tricky. I am not sure what might be available here to test her remains here (and for free). Thank you for your kind words with regard to Belle. Losing a loved pet is very hard for us and I feel so responsible for their...

We miss her very much. She was so beautiful and such a boisterous girl (and sometimes laid some enormous eggs). Which is what makes me wonder what happened even more. I believe the breeder we got her from was very good. I looked all around for different local breeders and her webpage had a real...

Hello, We need help. We are new to keeping chickens so we may not be doing things right with their care (both pre and post sickness) and not sure if even our vet is ever certain what's going on with them. We got 3 chickens last summer and have loved having them. We lost one in October and...
