I went out to the coop this morning and found one of my cinnamon girls hunched down in a corner. She’s not acting right.
I gave her a warm bath, trimmed some of her feathers so I could see what had to work with, it looks like she has been pecked and some feathers pulled out! It seems to be...
I went out to close the door on my coop, there was a skunk drinking out of the water dish! My girls are up on their roost. I brought the old blind girl in. She's in the basement in my hospital coop for now. How can I get him out of the coop ? It smells awful in there. I feel so sorry for my...
It seems that all the hens are picking on one! What is going on here? Here are pictures I took a few minutes ago. Should I bring her in? Just spray with Blue ?
What should I do? I've never seen anything like that before. I only have the one coop, but I do still have my hospital set up from when...
last Friday I soaked her foot and I thought I pulled it all out. Now, I took the bandage off and this is what we have. Please help??
Is Texas Kiki on now? Can someone tell me what to do?
One of my hens feet looked deformed. I took a closer look and there were some kind of growths between her toes. I lifted on one of them and it came off! Now there is a big open hole. I cleaned it good and put antibiotic cream in it. I also put the blue spray on it. What is it? And what can I do...
A while back a possum attacked my old blind hen, you all helped me with her. In that same post, I posted some pics of my little dogs eyes that had been badly scratched. His eyes are still healing. Just now he got sprayed in the eyes by a skunk that was eating eggs in the coop! How do I clean his...
I was out late today, when I got home I went straight to the coop to lock the girls in. I have 15. Only 10 were in the coop. I was frantic! My coop is in the barn. I stepped out of the coop and started to look for my girls. There was a huge possum right outside the door. I shot one about a month...
Can somebody explain how the deep litter method works? Do you just keep adding litter? How do you get all the poop out? If you don't remove the poop, how is the smell and flies handled?
Thank you in advance for your help. I want to try this method but am concerned about smell and pest.

I ordered 9 birds. I got 12! What to do now? I know I got two or three boys! What should I do? I have had bad experiences with aggressive roosters. How should I go forward? I do not want to kill birds, we want our birds for pets.
What can I do with these extra birds ????
I came home from town and my retarded chickens head was upside down! I held it up for her and forced her to drink water. What else can I do? What do you think is wrong with her? I'm trying to post a video but don't know how??
:drool ⁉️ I checked for eggs yesterday, none. I go out this morning and found five. What could have happened? I only have three hens! Can a hen lay more than one in less than (17) hours? I'm very confused⁉️⁉️⁉️
I posted in chicken behavior, and got no replies. Please, I need some advise. I have no experience with chickens. I bought three grown hens and a huge rooster at the auction about a month ago.
Yesterday Mr. Red wouldn't let me back in the pen to get my cleaning supplies! Thank goodness I had...
I bought three hens and a huge rooster at a town auction, they said they were 7 months old. I've had them three weeks now and they haven't laid any eggs. I think they are maybe too old to lay❓
They are not very active, and one of them has a shut eye! How can you tell how old they are? I was...
