Wow...that looks so nice. Lucky hens. Great job.

Thanks so much and I'm also sorry about yours.

Absolutely ready for spring. Not all of the snow has melted yet...I'm in Northwest Ohio a few miles from the lake. The wind was horrible all winter. Sadly I lost my old man rooster. He seemed slow before winter got bad...i almost knew he wouldn't make it to spring. Also, I lost two hens in...

I am so sorry you both went through this experience. Many of us here will mourn her with you. God Bless and if your like me...I think there's a chicken heaven out there that mine are at....yours is too.

Oh my that is so beautiful. To make it to 8 or 9 years old is amazing. Perfect name.

Oh my goodness!! I am so sorry this happened. I have had horrible accidents happen too. I blamed myself and still do...try not to even though it's so hard. We are only human. I know this can't change anything but hope it helps. This past winter I had a few hens that were getting picked on...

I am feeling a little slow at the moment. I am trying to figure out what egg plants are. I know what an eggplant is and they are very good fresh from my garden every year....but I can't seem to figure out what you mean by eggplant. Please help me understand...I have been thinking about it for...

Unusual that she would get into water on her own. Mine walk in water to cool themselves and clean their feet but never bathe. May want to check around her vent, neck and under her wings...she may have lice or mites she's trying to get rid of. If she doesn't have these then she is just...

I'm so sorry you are going through this. I am really glad I am not the only one that has this problem with white Leghorns. I have two of these and they are bullying everyone at the food dishes. Even if they already ate they stop others while eating. A friend of mine keeps telling me to get a...

How cute!!! Love this proud Mama moment. I remember the first night I left my first chicks alone to go 'night-night'. It took everything I had to not go check on them. For weeks prior I went out multiple times a night to shine my cell phone light in the coop just to be sure they didn't need...

Awesome link Fancychooklady. Thank you for that. There is good info on that. I was trying to find Safeguard for my chicks at TSC but they only have goat and horse wormers and Wazine for poultry. I was scared to get Wazine because it says not to use for layers for eggs for human consumption...

Not real sure but it could be worms. They do get esophageal, tracheal, tape and crop worms. Could be Gapeworms which would make them reach up gasping for air. Would be worth looking into possibly worming your chicks. I ran into an article recently while looking into possible worms in my...

Thanks she was special, that's her giant egg in my pics :)

Thank you so much to everyone for the warm welcomes. It means a lot to have so much support. My flock of hens includes a bossy Barred Rock, a Rhode Island Red, 2 white Leghorns, 2 Speckled Sussex, 5 red Buffs, 3 Amber Sexlinks, 1Silver Wyandotte and 2 Goldlace Wyandotte. Early this spring I...

Plant peppermint around your coop. Mice hate the smell of peppermint. The plants will spread quickly and your coop will even smell good. Or you can use peppermint oil from a health food store to soak cotton balls and place around the coop. If you use oil, replace cotton balls frequently...
