    Weird “BRUISES” on pullets leg

It doesn’t seem sore to the touch. I have separated her mainly because she’s too clumsy and ends up...

    BLIND CHICKEN HELP!

The roo, Trainwreck, is 100% but now Bootsy, Gold Laced Cochin, is definitely blind in one eye. Her eye...

    New Coop and Run Complete! Comments, Suggestions?

    The sod because it’s was mud. I knew they would tear it up but I had some non treated sod for free from my work so I just used it. Spiny edge is the exterior top of the coop the chickens cannot get to it. The coop and run is in about 85-95 percent shade all day hence the no grass to begin with...

    Gold Laced Cochin Strange Behavior

    So today I noticed that when out in the chicken run, my Cochin stayed underneath the watering bowl and would roll around in the mud/puddles. I brought out their favorite treats and she wouldn’t budge. Now she’s soaking wet. Is this a sign of overheating or lack of a dust bath. I’m new to...
