This summer in nor cal has been extremely hot and my poor chickens have been extremely hot also. This has led me to look at ways to keep them cool and I have noticed that my coop is very, well, lacking compared to everyone else's. Hearing about their coops makes me feel sad that my chickens...

@GitaBooks thank you very much for answering, I will try that but I'm not sure she will let me. Is it possible she can get it out herself if she doesn't let me?

My chicken Miley ( an auracauna) was laying a soft egg and one of my other chickens happened to peck the egg as she was laying it and the egg broke but the shell is still inside of her. I've been watching her and it hasn't come out yet. It has been 2 days and I was sure it would come out when...

@getaclue Thank you! I will try this and see if it helps. Do you think if I put bacitracin on Jenni's comb it will heal faster? Glenn has broken the skin and it is on the verge of bleeding which will make everything worse!

@ChickenCanoe Jenni is a white cochin Glenn is a aracauna Miley is an americauna. Miley isn't in this situation but I figured I'll include her too. All hens, I think they're 2 years maybe? When I got them I didn't know anything about them but I knew they were chicks. they were just left on our...

I'm back again with another problem! No surprise there. Jennis head has healed, (Turns out it was her comb that was bleeding, and Glenn had been pecking her!) I fixed the problem but lo and behold glenn has started another one. She is pecking Jenni again.. I just noticed this today so I'm...

My white Cochin jenni has just recently hurt herself this morning. It's the back of her head/ her comb. I can't tell where exactly because she won't let me touch it. I have tried cleaning it but she just squirms and jumps down. I don't know what to do.. What should I clean it with? How do I...

Hmm. This has been a very unlucky week with lots or questions from me. Last night it poured, and my chicken coop got soaked. The chickens were dry, but the ground was not.. Im trying to clean out the mud and water, but the smell I'd unbearable and I don't know how to get rid of it so I can try...

@boersmamrs Ok thank you!

@aart I live in Vacaville California. it's nor cal. They aren't laying right now, maybe one egg every few days but I don't mind poopy eggs, neither does my parents. Only Miley sleeps in the nest, (she's the smart one, it's warmest in there!) but the other two sleep on top of the nest where there...

@boersmamrs Ok thanks. Yes I live in California

So it's getting colder outside at night nowadays. Im not sure if my chickens will be warm enough! I have three, one ameracauna( Miley), one aracauna(Glenn), and one cochin(jenni). They have a mainly wood coop,(it's half fence, half house) and it has a chicken wire front with a dog gate thing for...

I think my chicken is molting..the coop looks like there should be a bald chicken hiding somewhere and she's not acting like her normal self. Glenn has a ton of personality and usually greets you with a few clucks and then she runs toward you. for the past few days, her voice has been weird, and...

is it ok if chickens eat cat food? regurgitated catfood? Miley, Glenn and jenni just did and I'm scared its not safe for them. can someone help me?

do they have feathers on their feet? little jenni here does, she is tiny and lays tiny eggs and is super sassy! @Sunshine0235 @chicmom

I know what breed my other chickens are, (americauna and aracauna) but I can't figure this one out!

Kelsie2290 thank you so very much! I'm almost positive that she is just broody! I read those articles and that helped a lot. Do you know anything about her fluffing up her feathers and always messing with them? Is it because of her broodiness? Thanks!

Hi! i have some questions i would like answers to but first you need to hear the story.. i have 3 hens. An americauna, miley,an aracauna, glenn, and a cochin, jenni. I used to have 5 and one roo ,but sadly, we had to give Henny, penny, and Sam (the roo) away. They were a little disappointed at...
