    Hen with infected broken nail

    My hen injured her toe two days ago. The nail was snapped off at the base and there was a lot of bleeding. We got the bleeding to stop and we cleaned and wrapped it and used Vetricyn, but we noticed last night (when we went to wrap it again) that the toe looked red and puffy. It looks infected...

    I am adding two entries (last minute) since I realized I had only entered one photo. I am adding a photo of Noelle, a lavender Orpington, fitting in perfectly with some tiny stuffed animals. And the second photo is Noelle and Penny, a Dominique, snuggling together.

    how to get rid of a hawk killing my chickens

    You obviously have a lot of stereotypes in your head about chickens that don’t free range all day and how and where they are kept. I have a huge secured run with a drainage system under it to keep it dry and it’s clean and I do also let my hens out each day because they enjoy it and like to...

    how to get rid of a hawk killing my chickens

    I don’t understand the logic of putting defenseless prey (chickens) outside in the open that birds of prey (hawks) by nature will eat because it’s instinct, and then killing the hawk for trying to eat when you’ve placed a buffet at their feet. Just secure the chickens. You can’t blame raptors...

    Silkies sleeping low in the coop and getting pooped on

    Help. My two silkies who are now 17 weeks old continue to sleep on the lowest bar in my coop - which is in front of the lowest laying boxes (the bar is really not meant for roosting but more for getting up and into the lower laying boxes - it is quite low to the ground. ) I have to move them...

My husband wants to put in filter fabric/landscape cloth over rocks (for drainage) with a layer of fine pea gravel on top. Has anyone else...

    This is the second photo I am submitting, which is Lulu, my buff partridge silkie chick. This image was inspired by the knowledge that chickens are descendants of the Tyrannosaurus Rex. Lulu is trying her best to look ferocious. :) (I think she is too fluffy to be scary)
