Hi! It’s been a long, long time since I’ve been on here, but my chicken, Abby is very sick. About 3-4 days ago she was acting extremely lethargic and panting excessively. Because the temperatures have been in the 100’s I assume she as just hot. That afternoon I brought her inside to cool off...

I thought I might share the story of how we came to get Daisy and Abby. just know that I used to let the chickens do stupid things, so please, no judgement. (and sorry for all the typos...:oops: soooo, Once we had a chicken named Cher (she was my favriot chicken. she was a real cuddle bug!)...

I noticed in my chickens poop one day that there seemed to be what looked like a hair worm and so we are going to treat our chickens. This is what we bought and it’s for goats and I’m not sure how much to give them or anything. What do I do? The stuff is Safe Guard dewormer for goats. It’s what...

The two pullets are starting their transition to being with the adults by sleeping together (with the adults). Their nesting boxes are in the same place that they sleep in, so we have the pullets sleep together in the nesting box so that they don’t have to be right next to the adults on the...

little Abby has laid her first egg two days ago. Today, we found her in her new milk crate nesting box laying an egg! I went in to get my camera and when I came back out, Abby’s buddy (they are very close) was standing guard over her! :lauIt was the funniest thing!!! Her buddy, Daisy hasn’t...

Abby (circled) and Katie Ruby Betty Daisy (the reason her back is circled is because I was worried that the slant of those feathers might mean she’s a roo) I had asked a couple months ago tips on combining chicks with adults. Well, today is the day. We will be buying live crickets...

Little Betty seams to have chipped her beak! Does it hurt her? Will it grow back? Can she still peck around with it chipped? It’s only the tip that chipped off. So many questions!

I always made sure I’ve added a welcome comment to as many new member introductions as I can. Then, I realized that some people have a thingy for being a BYC greeter. Just wondering if that is any different from what I’ve been doing.

there is really no point to this. I just thought I would share what our coop looks like! We call that the big coop and the wooden thing. We started off with the wire coop (the big coop) and an Egloo (one of those things that if you what it is your like oh yeah, an Egloo! And if you don’t...

Just recently took this picture of our adults coming in after their morning free range time. They line up single file and make a bee line for the coop and then stop at the door and wait for it to be opened for them and then it’s food water and nest box wars. Lol. However, as they are running...

I know it’s still pretty early to tell, but I’m a little worried that our sweet leghorn pullet, patty might be a roo because of those tail feathers. We can’t keep roos... :fl

we have too identical nesting boxes, but all 3 chickens will ONLY use what’s come to be called the “preferred nesting box”. So, every morning/afternoon there’s a bunch of squabbling over that one box because they all have to lay at the same time. Just wondering if there is any way to get them to...
