Excellent help. Thank you!!

Hello. I have a question. I have a rescue hen she came to me with a rope on her leg and never left lol. I found her a home 2 yrs ago and the woman who took her called and told me to come get her because she was attacking her other chickens and ducks. So we bought a coop and built a large...

Its been awhile since I've posted and I haven't been getting any alerts...I thought the group was just quiet. I do have a quick question. Is it normal for my hen to want to roost at night on top of the coop? Now the coop is the type you buy from a farm supply store. Should I put up another...

I'm so sorry to hear about your lose. Its so hard losing a beloved pet.

Thank you danz and Trish. I'm using pine shavings in her tray area, but the nesting area I have straw. I've been lucky so far, she seems to only poop outside of her coop area where she sleeps. I'm going to have to google around for a Vet site to read up more on how to take care of chickens. I...

Thanks Trish. We have a small window at the top that I leave open and we also put in another round vent at the top across from it, plus the roof on the edge has a small opening on both sides. We are only insulating the thinner walls. The plastic will be around the sides and front, the back is...

Thank you Danz. I hear so many differently things about heating, I know the only one I would use is the panel. Same with other things like some people say use sand inside the coop, don't use hay for bedding.....etc, it sure can get confusing for a first time hen owner. I'm going to insulate...

I'm really sorry to hear that. Wish I had some advice, but I'm new to the chicken world.

Hi everyone. Well our coop area will be completely done tomorrow, we have the frame up so the last thing to do is put the poultry netting up. Here's a question, that I'm so confused about. As some of you know I only have one chicken, this is because the woman I adopted her from didn't want...

Here is my new girl. She still is shy and not as active as I thought she would be, but she probably is just adjusting to the new home!

The rain has been awful here and we did have flooding going on. Our yard was full of water, now we're dealing with mud. Well I went into the coop and gave her a gentle nudge out the door, then shut the door while I was outside working.....it worked. She's been a busy girl....lol. They are...

I was wondering if this is normal. I bought home my girl yesterday and she hasn't left the coop, just sits on her nest. I'm hoping she is just adjusting. I put some mealworms in hoping this might get her up and interested.

Wow what part of Kansas is getting snow? I live in Emporia and no snow, just really cold.

Love learning new stuff for my chicken and herbs was something I didn't know about. Thank you for sharing this!

No rush checking to see if you have a Isbar Pullet and I would like to pay you if you have one. I pick my girl up next week sometime and I'm excited. I still have to buy a few things.

Hello and Welcome. I joined about a month ago and the people here are great and very friendly.

Thank you Danz for all the links and for calling the company that has the netting. I checked out Bluestem and they have a lot of feed and some Chicken items, I was thinking they would have more. We are almost ready for her, just have a few things to finish up on. I just noticed you are in...

Thank you Danz. We put her coop against the garage wall and next to that is the privacy fence, so we're hoping that area will be more protected from the wind. She has a small run that came with the coop, but we are building a bigger one for her, also tall enough for me to walk in. Do you know...

Thank you for all the great information Trish. I was worried about using a heat lamp due to fire and was thinking insulation on two of the thinner walls. Our Chicken is a rescue and she will be alone for the moment, I'm thinking of getting another breed like her eventually. But with just her...

We were just talking about this, if we could trim our girls wings, since she likes to fly. Good article, easy to follow.
