    3yo Hen Stopped Eating/Drinking or Moving before Passing

    Thanks Eggcessive. Just read a bit further on that, and she also had a blue tinge to the tip of her comb, so I'm increasingly thinking Marek's. They're all kept pretty close together (especially at night) so I'm going to go ahead and assume the remaining three have it too and give the vet a...

    3yo Hen Stopped Eating/Drinking or Moving before Passing

    Hi all, Yesterday morning I let my chooks out as normal in the morning, and didn't notice any immediate issues with any. One (RI Rock) was slowest to come out but cursorily I didn't notice anything with her. I went out again at lunchtime to toss in some Apple and grapes, and some round lettuce...

    Pecking Order Problems

    Thanks all for the advice, much appreciated. It seems, slowly but surely, she's coming down and interacting more, although she's avoided the other for so long shes now firmly at bottom and a target for all three. Both the newbies are also getting a real harrying at night - neither go into the...

    Pecking Order Problems

    The run is approx. 36 sq. ft., and they get time out on the garden whenever possible as well. The coop itself will be getting replaced eventually (it was originally one with an attached - tiny - run). I could probably move the bin out, but the coop wouldn't be practical. As it is they can move...

    Crabapple Mash?

    Most of the whole crabapples are 70% red, while the apple they normally get are green. I think they're just picky ;)

    What treat did your chickies get today?

    Mine got a head of spring greens (hung up to entertain them), some corn to scratch at, and the leftover seeds and pulp from some raspberry and blackberry jam I made this morning.

    Crabapple Mash?

    Thanks! I tried them with the leftover mash, which they seemed to enjoy more than whole crabapples, but sadly they didn't seem overly bothered by that, either. They go nuts over regular apples, but turn their beaks up at all the free crabapples. Naturally... They did go nuts for the leftover...

    Crabapple Mash?

    Hi guys, I've been lurking around here for a while now - since I got my first chickens a year ago, I've read just about everything chicken related the net can throw at me! - but I've finally bitten the bullet and signed up, as I have a question I haven't yet found an answer to. I have a...
