I have a separated chicken due to large abscess on her foot. She has come around the last few days. Because she is in our garage, I can monitor her feed, water, and poop. It's been 9 days in our garage and last night she pooped 3 roundworms out. Because she is separated, I would feel ok...

we have a wood floor insulated coop then added a dirt floor addition. The first floor we have a door but all the way around let's in a big draf . I have enough other gaps for airflow but I need to fix this, as snow also blows in. I tried to foam tape one, eventually fell off, tried spray foam...

I have 2 moms 2 chicks. They are usually up early following around the grass etc and do this most of the day. It is sunny and warm today so I'm a bit alarmed to come home to find them in the same house, the younger chick is under the other mom, and both moms are giving out a low purr. I...

I've had a run of 3 broods who end up one egg. One hatched today. I usually remove them from the coop while broody, then once chicks hatch move mom,and chick(s) to chick yard. at his mom will not leave her nesting box. I could move thr box after dark to where I plan to have her with chick...

I have had a broody mom sitting on 2 eggs and they started chirping this morning. The problem is her nesting/brooding area was a paint bucket, (we attach to the walls and made into nesting boxes),. It is not compatible to hatch chicks. I moved mom and the eggs to another area but I cant get...

3 days agono saw one of our leghorns up on our hill wandering around. these guys dint choose to wander as much. Next morning my son found her in our scratch grain bin in the work area of our coop. Something is wrong with her leg. 1st she can't walk, and sprawls the injured leg out in front of...

After much searching, I found one of our favorite chickens on the other side of our property, halfway under our 12x16 shed, completely unreachable. She comes out every few days to eat, drink, and hurry back. honestly, I only have seen one egg. Its impossible to get to her. I think the last...

Mom hatched 2 chicks a week ago. We have a big fenced in area for them and she takes them out to forage. we have another mom sitting on 7 eggs, varying stages of fertilization. Shes under a sagebrush. I tried moving her to a safer area but she left. I've successfully moved 4 sets of moms...

Last year we hatched chicks and had a friends coop to raise them till they were older, and I was going into fall. I have a broody chicken who we found with 3 eggs, so we let her. One pipped today so they will be hatching the next few days. She's in our straw bin, a wooden box about 4x4x3...

I noticed our almost 1 yr old speckled Sussex seemed light and withdrawn . She has very minimal yellowish poop with darker green boys in it. We've been trying to figure out what's wrong with her. She laid an egg 2 days ago, though rarely drinks or eats. We've tried oatmeal, scrambled eggs...

The new health food store asked how long my eggs will last. I keep mine at room temp (40-60 degrees), until ready to sell them per our laws I wash and bleach. I told her 6 months. Right? Oddly she asked if the eggs are fertilized. I said they have the potential as we have roosters. We...

Ok. On an estimate we have about 160 chickens. We love them lots, and they are awesome. After a year we expanded our coop. We have a 10x12 and a 16x12 together area. The smaller is wooden floor, the area dirt bottom. Our nesting boxes were built too big, so we have 9 built and 21 buckets...
