    Comment by 'Clucked Up' in article 'How To Fix A Muddy Run Chicken Coop'

    Days of rain and another 2" tonight and tomorrow, then finally turning cold. 9 hens, all happy roosting in a raised 4x4 coop and a smaller one if someone cops an attitude. Problem here is, the run is W-E-T now! What's the recommendation? Straw, pine bark in bags? I can't get out there to cover...

    Chicken Breed Focus - Holland

    Well, in the absence of a DNA, I'm calling mine Barred Rocks, two of which have "blurred" striping and fairer combs. At 6 months old, they have been laying since July, on average 5 each per week. This week saw a moderate weather change, and production slowed. Not a worry, they'll do what is...

    Chicken Breed Focus - Holland

    The Holland photos are quite similar to my Barred Rocks. I recently acquired 2 more 6 month olds, which are a lighter grey with paler legs. I believe them to be Dominique.

    Strange feather loss in same area of all hens (see pics)

    I'm 99% sure that it'll be mites that are causing this. I faithfully clean all dropping from the coop every afternoon after they have dried. Using construction sand and D.E. (Red River) makes for snappy work, and it helps tremendously in the summer heat against fleas, mites, and odor. Don't...

    Bloody vent!! Two hens already died please help!

    Same here. Only 1 of 7, Noticed a milky goo in the coop this morning, then a tinge of blood on the porch steps, where they come after we open the large run door at sunrise. Now, full blown bleeding, bathed, cuddled, then I observed what appeared to be her full insides with more active bleeding...

    New from TN

    Good morning, and welcome aboard! I am in North Central TN, from NC. 7 hens all laying since July and what a trip! I was raised on a very large chicken farm but never had "pets" or a small backyard flock. We are "in town" but free range our ladies and coop them at night. If you run into a snag...

    Dripping wet chicken's

    Thanks, that's what I thought. After weeks of dry H-O-T weather, it rained today and my ladies stayed out in it. The temps are down in the 80's (from 101+) and overcast. They have a dry and clean (every day) coop, and numerous dry hide-a-ways here at our Itty Bitty City Farm, and yet, they...

    Sleeping On The Job! Or maybe just a little sister chat! Whatever the case may be, they are calm, clean, coddled chickens. Today topped out at 106 degrees figuring the heat index! Frozen cucumbers, frozen bread, and fresh tomatoes from a day of canning. Naps in the "hinterlands" of the yard, and...

    Flies no more!! Found the perfect fly repellent.

Still noting beats a daily cleaning of the coop, DE, ONLY construction sand on the floor, and plenty of ventilation! From North Central TN where the heat index in...

    Chickens refuse to go into their coop. HELP!

    OK. Here's the deal...once you get them ALL in the coop ( hopefully you have a run of some sort) ...KEEP THEM THERE FOR A WEEK! Sounds rough I know, just do it! They need to know that that is where they live, where they are safe, where they can lay eggs, and where YOU put their food. I free...
