I've been having a terrible time keeping my dogs out of my chicken feed (inside my run). So my hubs had a brilliant idea (I thought it was brilliant anyway) and made a Dutch door to solve the problem. So we could just open the top part of the door for the chickens to fly in and...

Hi! So, my white leg horn went broody and I put some eggs under her that I got from a friend (I don't have a rooster) sure enough one hatched yesterday. Yay! I moved the chick inside my garage with the intentions of putting a heat lamp on it, but when I took it from the Hen-the Hen went crazy...

I have an 11 week old chick and just noticed her beak appears to be off center. It was not like that yesterday. I almost feels as if her jaw is broken. Her beak is not "scissored" or "curled" it is just more to one side and her mouth will not close all the way. Any suggestions? Thanks in...

My girls are now 5 weeks old and I am noticing bright red poop in their corral. I'm not sure which one it's coming from, and I have no idea what to do. Any advice?? Thanks!

Hi. I brought home my now 4 week old chicks (buff orpingtons) just a few days ago. They are in a coral in my garage until my coop & run are complete. We visit, talk, and try to pet them several times each day. These girls seem like they are scared and they run in the opposite direction. (To...

Hello All! I am bringing home 8 three week old buff orpingtons today. I plan to put the girls in my garage until they are big enough for their coop. What in the world can they live in? I have a portable dog fence I used for our litter of puppies....would that work for the chicks? By the way...

Hello All! I am new to the chicken world! I am in the process of getting my coop built so I can be a backyard farmer :) I live in the country and have two small children...so I was wondering if anyone could give me some input on which breed of chicken may be the most "kid friendly" and also good...
