Our children's fort was sitting in the yard doing nothing as our kids were in college, so we turned it into a coop. We bought Chicken coops for Dummies and figured out what we wanted, taking pieces from many of the different designs. We put hardware cloth around the bottom run adding roosting...

I was unable to get this resolved until I found this online. DO IT! IT WORKS!!! Impacted crops are not caused by your birds needing more grit. Grit is indeed necessary for birds that eat other than commercial feed; they need grit when they eat scratch grains, greens, and when they free range...

It has been unseasonably cold here and my girls have been fine. We have no heater in the coop, but we have been putting hot water in milk bottles in the coop. They snuggle up to them. It is the same principle when we put ice in milk jugs in their coop in the summer. We have been giving them...

My chicken has long toenails and one was broken and hanging on everything. So I looked in my books and decided to cut it. I cut too much and it bled for 20 minutes. My chickens will be fine if I don't LOVE them to death. Really frustrated.

I just performed my first surgery on my sweet Lady. She doesn't seem any more worse for wear, but I am a wreck. I was able to get some of the junk out, but could not get the "kernel" and I finally gave up. She was bleeding so much more than any of the videos that I looked at today. I put some...

I have 2 Plymouth Rock (I think that is what they are) 21 week old chickens and mine aren't laying either. We live in Texas and I am keeping them supplied with ice to sit next to, water and feed. They also get watermelon in the afternoon. They are not interested in the grit that I provide...

Hello. I am new to chickens too. Already been helped by previous threads. THANKS> SK

I am new to chickens. They have watery poop. I am giving my chickens yogurt, which they really like, but it has not stopped their diahrea. One of my hens has lost her chest feathers. I have bathed her, because she had poop all over herself and she does seem better. Do I need to worry about...
