    Sick chicken!!

    I am not an expert, but your chicken might have gotten an infection, You can try some plain yoghurt and then get some antibiotics in the morning. Not knowing the temp there you might want to keep her warm, but not too warm. Chickens don't like letting on that they are week or sick and will do...

    Sick Hen?

    I am not an expert, but it sounds like your hen may need more calcium in her diet. I have one hen, Luna who is the most bossiest and vocal of the five birds and she lays soft eggs. Sometime she has a lot of troubles getting her egg out and my daughter gets a tums and mixes it with yoghurt. We...

    is this a boy?

    I am not an expert, but your chicken looks like a pullet to me. I don't have a lot of picture of the girls when they were at that age, because I was frantically trying to finish up the chicken coop. Six growing babies in the house was getting very stinky.

    is this a boy?

    This is Derpy one of two SLW we have and I thought that we had a rooster as she was maturing. She is now about 2 years old and a good layer. If I could get more SLW I would in an instance. They are difficult to hold, but very stable in confined space, easy to take care of and good independent...

    Aggressive rooster

    Is it possible that the rooster is not sure if you, the person, is another rooster, ie: a threat to his domain, of just another hen to put in line? Has anyone taken a hose to a rooster and doused him good or giving the rooster a dunking or bath? I can't have a rooster given my city codes, but I...

    setting up my first coop

    Sounds like your doing great. I got my chicks when they were ten days and did they grew fast. Getting your birds in the spring will be good as it will be easer to keep them warm. Get a brooder set up with a heat lamp. I used a plastic bin with towels and paper and as they got older I found a dog...

    Blueberries, rose petals (go figure) cooked salmon skin with millet, cheep can of tuna, liver, Kale and since my family is gluten free the chickens love the rice pasta and GF bread.

    setting up my first coop

    Yes the mesh is worth investing in, unless you can find someone who needs to get rid of their wire mesh. When I started the idea of wanting chickens to people I came across some one who had some chicken wire to get rid of. Every day was a treasure hunt for scrap wood, concrete blocks, anything...
