Maybe it was just lighting. The chicken is doing very well. Has drank about 8oz in the past couple days along with around 1 cup of food. Much more active and no longer wobbly. When can we move her back out?
Our chicken seems to be doing quite well. But we have been beginning to notice rather greenish colored poop. Could this be a sign of internal bleeding?
A couple days ago our 10 chickens were free roaming. A fox that we haven't ever had problems with before fatally attacked one chicken and injured another. The injured chicken is a little white americana. It is a hen. We caught the fox with the white chicken in its mouth. We have since separated...
I could be in the wrong thread... Anyways. We have 10 girls, 6 Red sexlinks, 2 black, and 2 Americanas. Originally we had only planned for 6 birds, but since we got the original ones we found that we didn't have enough. I just recently finished building the coop. I have posted some pictures...

See the attached picture (1-2...
My red pullets are doing great I'm just concerned about one of their feet. She doesn't seem to be favoring it or acting injured at all. It seems to have a bluish green tint to it. Anyone have any ideas as to what this is?
The end of the coop build is near, and I am looking at many types of paint. I have read many things about whether to paint the inside or not. The walls in my coop are going to be OSB shealthing. I would like to paint them, to give them some sort of protection. I am not looking for watertight on...
