    Hens pecking at back door all day?

    Thanks! I'll try shooing them away from the door when they knock again. Sounds like it would both save the knocking AND save me from having a poop-covered porch. I wound up covering the bottom half of the door with a blanket, which has been both inconvenient and ugly... But effective! I...

    Hens pecking at back door all day?

    I wish I could get pictures or video of this, but they always stop and run to me when I try. My four girls, free-roaming in the back yard, have picked up the habit of standing at the back door and pecking. And pecking. And pecking! It's an old door and it's quite loud all through the house...

    Green poo with moving little white bits, and overheating hen. Help!

    Thanks! I'll see tomorrow if the feed store sells Zimectrin. I hope so, I can't get my chicken vet to call me back. Tonight I had to bring her inside again. Same deal - very upright, hard panting inside the coop. She seems fine now that she's cooled off, but seriously... That panting looks bad...

    Green poo with moving little white bits, and overheating hen. Help!

    I went to shut the girls (5 of them) in their coop this evening and noticed one was not sleeping, had her neck straight up, and was panting. It's been over 100 for several days now here so I figured she was probably overheating. I brought her into the air conditioned house, dropped some water on...

    Pale combs for 3 months, and now in others too?

    I haven't checked for mites and lice, and they currently don't have access to DE, though I do give them fresh soil to bathe in which they love. Before I start some mad googling, do you have any known good resources for what I should look for with mites/lice?

    Pale combs for 3 months, and now in others too?

    Hey guys, I was wondering if you can help me out. I did a ton of research on what can cause a chicken to have a pale comb/wattle, and almost everything led me to roundworms (anemia). I dosed the whole flock with Wazine about 8 weeks ago after my sussex had lived with a pale comb for over a...

    Looking to build a new coop - Advice for Utah birds?

    Hey everybody! This is my first winter keeping chickens, and as we just signed a lease for another year in this house I felt it's time our ladies got a coop upgrade. That, and the fact that we have this arctic front blowing in now and I was out there with a digital thermometer taking readings...

    The Ladies of Cluckingham Palace

    Hello! I thought I'd take a moment to introduce myself (and of course our chickens). My name is Lindsay. My husband Jesse and I live in Salt Lake City, UT, and as of 2 1/2 weeks ago we are proud parents of four rescued hens. These hens reside in a Pawhut Deluxe Backyard Chicken Coop we call...
