What a peaceful feeling when I brought her in last night, and she was a lovely indoor guest. I walked outside today and every ground plant that had been living was crumpled and crinkled, turned to ice. I think since I don't have much room here, after reading the suggestions what I will do is...

Ha-ha. Even before I read your message I was starting to think I better bring her in. She should have someone to huddle with *and* she should be able to fluff her feathers and trap in her body heat without that loss coming from the back of her neck. I don't think she will be happy about being...

Forgive me - I don't know much but I'm learning. Through reading here and elsewhere I relaxed about my hen Florence being outside down to freezing, but now it's getting colder. She hasn't gone bald from molting but lost a lot of feathers and looking a little ragged, has a 2 inch bald spot on the...

Thank you so much for your expertise. I am believing that she will be ok. I do realize that she needs other chickens and so I am resolved to spend two or three hours a day with her outside, scratching the dirt with a weeding fork right next to her, exchanging dinosaur sounds with her. I have...

Florence was left to me by a neighbor recently. She's been pecked and has a large bald spot on her neck, even larger now that she's molting. It's going down to freezing tonight and she has no one to huddle, less feathers, and that enlarging bald spot. I found out today I had the wrong feed to...

I have one. The law is specific in it's definition. On what is it based that what the law says doesn't matter? I'm not arguing with you, just asking. It seems very clear to me.

I am vegan, eating no animal products. The Tacoma city code has regulations for where a coop can be but defines poultry as specific breeds kept for --> meat or eggs. My chicken is kept for neither. She's not poultry then right? Tacoma Municipal Code TITLE 5 HEALTH AND SANITATION ... Chapter...

Thank you for the expertise. Flo's previous owner said she was a couple of Chinese breeds but I didn't write them down.

Tomorrow my neighbors will be done moving and she moves into my yard.

It was fun and informative reading the info, wisdom, welcomes and ideas. My dream for her is to be able to eventually find her chicken friends, understanding the challenge. I'd never push if it wasn't working. The link about adding chickens will probably work in reverse - trying to adapt her to...

This weekend a neighbor who is moving out of a next door apartment is leaving his chicken with me. He can't take her and I've been visiting the chicken every day spending time with her, talking like a chicken, bringing her treats. She runs to me. I usually am who goes into their yard in the...
