We used to have four chickens but lost three to (I believe) a fox. It was probably our fault as we got complacent. We used to let them have free access from the coop and it being very warm nights here in oz, three of them used to sleep outside leaving Jessica inside. Jessica was left with a limp...
It was so sad. When we thought about getting chickens they started off as just egg laying machines but you realise they have their own personalities. Before getting replacements got to make sure it's predator proof as best as I can make it.
Well, it's been a while since I've been on, kept meaning to but didn't. I was going to share the good news about my girl, Jessica (H)Ennis who had the bad leg that I thought might have been Marek's. Well, I didn't do THE deed but kept her and give her the Vit B complex suggested elsewhere. She's...
I kept mine confined to coop and run for a week. I was surprised after the first day they 'knew' where to go to roost. At night straight up the ramp they went and to roost.
Hi, not sure what list you are talking about. As you've only made the one post you can't search all your previous posts so is it a list you've made and saved on your computer? If so, search wherever you keep your saved documents. If not, start again.

Mine used to have free access from the moment they got up to when they went to sleep. That was until I saw mice in my shed. I've laid bait for the mice and not seen any evidence since but I now cap the feeder at night so the little buggers can't get at it. This is the type of feeder and drinker...
Hi all. I haven't been on a while myself. Been away but back now. Also have had visitors and expecting more in two weeks time. That's what happens when you move to a new country!
Hi, Sorry to hear about the loss of your granddad. Will pray for your grandma and the rest of the Vanderwilde family. As the previous person said, he's in a better place and as you're asking for prayer, I'm guessing you're a believer so will see him again.
I've put her back with the others and she surprised me by getting back up the ramp to the coop to sleep. Then back down next day. I've decided to give them all vitamins and the probiotic as a precaution.
Mine have been through their first Aussie summer where we've had 40o (104oF) and they've...
Yep, others are fine, no indication of anything being wrong but this one was fine the day before. We got them from a hatchery which has a good name as I know others who have bought from them.
The tablet I'm giving is about a fifth of a tablet, crushed up, that I bought from the local pharmacist...
Well, the B complex seems to helping her as she's more active even if her leg is not better. Hopefully that will come but she seems ok other than that. You can see that her left leg just sticks out but she's able to hop.
