Thanks for you reassurance! Having chickens for less than two years, I don't know what I would do without this site and all you generous and knowledgeable folks.

My 6 month old Fauvacana began laying 3 weeks ago and layed an egg every day until 4 days ago. Now she sits on the empty nest for hours at a time but has not laid an egg. She occasionally comes out for a few minutes to free range, but is sleeping on the nest. Also she is mean as spit while on...

My Orpington has had the same dirty butt problem since she was old enough to grow feathers, so it might be a different cause, but I had her droppings tested by vet and no parasites. She is active, eats well, and otherwise looks healthy so I have given up worrying. I just put her in the shower...

Thanks for starting this thread up again. I live in Georgia and when I got my first chicks last May I really wasn't thinking it would be 15 degrees here in January with 30 mph winds. I've thrown old blankets over their raised coop, and put six inches of wood chips inside, but the water both in...

I'm so new to this that my chicks are still in the broader, but reading this list has me worried. I plan to coop/ free range them in my fenced yard. But I have English ivy and now see it is poisonous. Can anyone comment whether this is absolutely deadly, or something they will naturally avoid...

Thanks so much for the posting this. I am new to this site, but this is exactly the type of info I was looking for. I got my first chicks 5 days ago, and am going through a similar situation to yours. My biggest, most active, best eating/drinking chick, an Easter Egger, suddenly just isn't...
