Relationships are complicated. I think we all know that. So here is my complicated relationship, and I would like your opinion on what to do... Ive known this guy... lets call him Bob... since 6th grade ( I am now a junior). Yesterday, Bob and his girlfriend came over to my house for a pool...

I feel awful. How could I have lost HALF of my flock this spring?!? 6 died from predators (hawk, cats, foxes) and now I came home today to my locked coop and saw that I lost Willow. She was only 4 months old. She was just dead, I have no clue how. *Gross warning* Her body was sunken and flat and...

Sally has just begun to molt ( feathers EVERYWHERE) but when I picked her up today and looked at her comb there is this 'hole' ish thing and it has something inside it? Unless it's dead skin or something. She also has so yellow streaks on her feathers near the comb and her eye. I dont know it...

This is Journey, today I noticed blood behind her comb and a bleeding scab on her feet. Are they just from a pecking fight/ accidental injury/ dry air or from something else? How should I go about it? ( right now it is really dry and cold-ish, around 30 degrees faren.)

Aw man so Im a mess right now I recently ( in the past hour) lost my 6th chicken this year. I am a chicken owner who grows very attached to them because they are like pets to me. Ivy was a speckled sussex and was my *favorite* chicken. She would always follow me around and stand there until I...

My friend, Rhianoen, has a few maine coon cats which just had a litter of kittens *Awwww* and is looking for good homes where they can go when they are old enough. I love how they look like mini tigers and their attitude is so friendly and adorable BUT.. I already have 14 animals ( 9 chickens...

when I came home from school today my dad said there was a 'problem'. The neighboor's dog was in our yard and scared off the chickens. So we found the 5 adult chickens in the forest, and three almost- adult ones in the deck. Problem is we were still missing 2 of the younger chickens. Then we...

Im getting the chickies tomorrow!!!! Yay!!! BUT The brooder is our big rabbit cage. Last year, my dad let me keep the rabbits in the house ( in another condo-ish thing we built ) But this year he is not allowing her to be kept inside EXCEPT for that rabbit cage ( we had a male rabbit who...

It is weird- even for me... I don't know, agh. Okay, so, first- please excuse spelling mistakes, I horrible about that to begin with, now just throw in having to type and you get a whole bunch of weird words. Second, let me start my train of thought: I am vegetarian and have been for four...

My parents wont allow for our rabbit Olivia to stay indoors, so they bought a bunny hutch with a wire floor. Is this okay for their feet? I was planning to put some leftover carpet in one corner of the hutch- but im still wondering...

When your at the feed store and at home what should you watch out in terms of sickness? ( signs... warnings...)

Ive heard that golden Comets have a bossy and aggresive attutuide towards other chickens, is that true? Also, how big do they tend to get? Thanks

Isn't DE cancerous to human? Why put it on chickens to kill parasites and such if it could cause cancer to us? Or is there a safe brand?

today was pretty cool cause I saw Olive lay an egg. She sat on the three eggs that some of her fellow flock members had already laid and moved them around under her. Olive is an 11th month old golden wyandotte. Then, Mya, my EE, came and sat in front of Olive and kept sticking her head under...

One of my EE's, Mya, has only layed small eggs with no yoke: Edit: Sorry, again, figured out how to edit, that's what the little button on the right is for But I ment to ask does this indicate something wrong? she's 11 months old.

I had my first chicks last year and I used Pine shaving in the brooder and the chickens were all fine and I still use pine shavings for my pullets in their coop. Though, I just read part of "City Chicks" and the author said not to use Pine due to respitory problems, but instead to use Aspen...

Today I got fed up with the coops state caused by the past winter. So, I brought out my trusty dishwahing soap and sponge. This is before: While I was cleaning Sally came in to say hi. This is After: I decided to paint "la coop de poulet" on one wall:

My chickies love to eat grass, eat weeds, eat ALOT of feed... but no treats. I've tried cooked plain spagetti noodles, plain yogurt and bread ( i think they might have ate the bread though) Do you have any suggestion?
