I'm really concerned about one of the 3 baby chicks we brought home yesterday! She hasn't really moved much...and the other two have been moving alot. She did eat a tiny bit but then went straight back to sleep in her same spot. Is there something I can make or give her (naturally) that will help?
My sweet Priscilla got attacked by a hawk but we saw it happen and ran out to grab her. She lost a lot of feathers, but the worst seems to be by her nose and eyes. She is bleeding a little by her eyes and nose and seems to be having s hard time breathing through her nose. This is the first time...
What are some great summer treats that will cool the chickens off or that they really enjoy? And how small should the food be cut up? We gave them a mixture of lettuce, corn, zuchini and yellow squash the other night but was scared they would choke so I chopped it up very small but was still not...

So we got our chicks last night! So excited. We got 3 Buffs and 3 Barred Rocks. We had our heat lamp on and first thing this morning it went out. Is this normal?? Shouldn't the bulbs last longer than one day!!? Wondering if we had a faulty bulb.
Also, I noticed one of the buffs looks to be about...
Hello! We are planning on getting a couple chicks soon and need all the advise we can get!! I've been watching a ton of YouTube informative chicken videos and reading a lot. We plan on getting buffs and plymouth barred rocks. How do chickens do with dogs? We have a Husky and 2 great danes. We...
