I have a nice verity flock, but recently I noticed that my Lavender Orpington was staying in the coop. At first I thought she was malting but her feathers are all back. She basically sits around, not in the nesting box. She will eat and drink when I put water and food next to her. She will...
My dog got in the chicken pen and did a lot of damage. The vet is not opened today and I don't know how to help my girls. 2 already passed, but I have more that are injured. I have separated the healthy chickens from the injured. Is there anything I can give them for pain to ease their...
Excellent. Thank you for all of the advice. We initially didn’t think we would love being chicken parents so we went cheap.....now it is time to up our game. There are Amish around in PA not far from us. My neighbor is very handy so I may be able to solicit so help. New coop coming for my...
