Hello, we’re almost finished so I will share photos when it’s done. Thank you for your interest! 🙂

Hello, we’ve been busy renovating our chicken house and the run for our new babies (photos to follow when we’re finished😉). There is a door and two windows in the house and they all open into the house itself but I know chickens like to roost up there and I’d like to deter them from doing that...

Hello, that is my fear is that the paint will chip off into the feed or the water. I’m sure it’s just me being overly cautious, I just didn’t know if others here have done this and had their chickens get ill or anything. I’ll try them out and see how it goes. If I start seeing chips of paint...

Hello, thank you, so you didn’t have any issues with the painted metal and your chickens? I guess I’m worrying more than I should. 😬 I will post photos as soon as it’s completed. Who knew a middle aged woman could get so excited over a renovated chicken house! 😅

Hello, yes he has been but I’m worried with all of this spray painting the waterer and the feeders. Hopefully it’ll all work out. 🤞🙂

Hello, we have been renovating our chicken house for our new baby chicks that have arrived recently. My husband has decided that the galvanized chicken waterer and feeder need an upgrade and spray painted them barn red to match the chicken house, my question is, is it safe for the chickens to...

Hello, you have to be smarter than what you’re dealing with. If you don’t pen your chickens up in a coop/run set for warfare then you’re asking for trouble. You cannot kill wildlife because you allow your livestock to run without proper housing/fencing unless you’re willing to guard them or have...

Hello, I am thinking of putting together a chick order once we finish renovating our chicken house and run. I am wanting a large, pretty, docile, friendly and preferably feather footed rooster. With that being said, what breed of rooster do you recommend? Thank you! tj

Hello again, just wanted to update this post. Sadly, during the night, our rooster took a turn for the worse. Early this morning I found him lethargic, breathing heavy with his head tilted off to the side. His comb, wattles were no long bright red but a dull pink tinged with white. He would try...

Hello, I am facing this today and my question is what type of gun did you use? I had read to use a shotgun but I want to be sure. Thank you, tj

Hello, here are photos of him. He still holds his eyes closed, I’m hoping that changes eventually. 🤞 He seems alert but he rests a lot, loves being outside in the sun. I made a soupy mixture of ground chicken feed and poultry vitamin water and he eats a little of that, he just eats so little...

Hello HippieAtHeart, thank you so much for asking. Actually he seems to be doing just a bit better. 🙂 I could not find the antibiotic or the poultry nutridrench that coach723 mentioned above at any of our feed stores, so I had to order it online so hopefully it will be arriving soon. He seems to...

Hello coach723, they are resilient creatures that is for sure. I’ve been giving him poultry vitamin water and a bit of yogurt. I hold the water to his beak and he takes small sips, I’m not sure that he’s getting enough, I have a waterer in with him but his eyes are closed so he cannot find it on...

Hello again, my rooster is still living, he seems somewhat alert and he takes maybe a step or two but that is it. Sadly, his eyes still aren't open. He is drinking as long as I put it up to him and I gave him a bit of yogurt earlier because he used to love it before. I'm noticing something that...

Hello HippieAtHeart, (love the name btw ;o) Thank you so much for the link, I did read it and will do that today. I did clean his wattle and comb and feathers of blood, some of it especially on his comb was stubborn but I got as much as I could. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day yet...

Hello Coach723, thank you so much for all of the information! I have looked him over again and only see dried blood on his wattle, comb and where it ran down his feathers on the front. I am heading to the feedstore to see about getting the poultry nutridrench. I filled a dixie cup with poultry...

Hello everyone, sadly we had a raccoon attack the other night in our chicken house. It killed one hen and injured our rooster, he's a big rooster and sweet. I found him sitting in the chicken house with blood on his neck and face and his eyes closed. I talked to him and picked him up and brought...
