    How I can I help an alienated hen

    I am trying to be more optimistic. My three hens have plenty of room but the mean bird will run 15-20 feet just to peck at Baby. Baby will just be minding her own business, sitting there chatting with me and then get attacked for no reason. The only thing I know to do is try removing the mean...

    How I can I help an alienated hen

    Last summer I had, what was once a friendly hen, Myrtle, viciously attacked another hen, Baby, in the flock. Myrtle had twisted neck months prior to the attack. She was separated for several days until she recovered. When I placed her back with the flock she moved up in the pecking order...

    Sad over the loss of my Cinnamon

    I lost a piece of my heart yesterday. One of my hens passed away. Cinnamon was a 6-1/2 year old Golden Laced Wyandotte that I raised from a day old chick. She provided some rich, healthy, warm eggs and countless hours of entertainment and affection. Cinnamon had a good life and, perhaps most...

    Head Tilt and loss of Balance

    I ordered Avia Charge 2000 online but until then I have been administering 3 drops a day of Poly-vi-sol without iron. Plus I've been feeding tuna, scrambled eggs, yogurt and applesauce which is what I add the vitamins to. Shortly after starting her on the vitamins she had runny stool, but...

    Head Tilt and loss of Balance

    Does anyone else have any ideas of what this could be? I haven't seen her eat or drink today. I'm going to offer her some scrambled eggs here pretty soon.

    Head Tilt and loss of Balance

    Yesterday afternoon I noticed my hen kept falling to the left. She would try and balance herself with her left wing. It didn't stop her from pecking at some seed on the ground though. I picked her up to inspect her and she turned her head to the left. I removed her from the rest of the flock...

    I colored my Brown and EE eggs!

    Your colored eggs turned out fantastic! I tried coloring brown eggs last year with regular food coloring and vinegar but it didn't cover very well. Next year I will try it your way for sure. One question though, did the coloring stay on the egg after you refrigerated it, or did it get wet and...

    Brand new fuzzy bunny

    Quote: ============== I will do more research instead of adopting another bunny right away. I believe Choco is neutered, but I'm just going by what the previous owner told me. I will sex him now that's he's becoming more familiar with me I really appreciated the advice. I haven't had...

    Brand new fuzzy bunny

    Toast'n Jelly : Looks like a lionhead attempt and what a cutie! Hay should be available all the time for bunnies and go easy on treats as whatever converts to sugar is really not good for their immune system. When you let him out of his cage be aware that he MAY chew any and everything that he...

    Brand new fuzzy bunny

    A few days ago I adopted a fuzzy bunny whose owner says it is a year old. It seems to be very docile, sweet and liter trained (yippee!). But it is shedding like crazy so I've been brushing daily. The bunny loves Timothy Hay. He hears the bag and gets all excited! Besides the hay, should I offer...

    News Reporter Interviews Chicken

    So long story short, a couple days ago a local news reporter visited us wanting to do a story on the Coop of Dreams tour (a chicken coop tour my husband and I organized). The reporter wanted to record our Speckled Sussex. She's always rambling on about something or another. She was already...
