    Should I let my girls out of the run?

    I have 16 girls and agree with all of the important points above: Beware: coyotes, fox, hawks, bobcats, and dogs. Having said that we’ve had attacks and no system will be fool proof. Predators are smart and see you 1,000 times to you seeing them only once. I have seen some crazy stuff for...

    Knowing when to rehome, cull or keep trying?

    Hi! We’ve had a chicken or two just be mean! Raised with everyone and then just go bully! It’s an awful feeling as an owner. We have rehomed them with a local farm. She has a lot of land and they free range. Maybe there’s someone near by that will take them, especially if they are laying. My hen...

    Hen with injured wing, small bones sticking out!!!😫😫

    I’m so sorry about the attack. If you want to save her, consider going to the vet. My concern would be that the longer you wait the harder it may be for it heal. Good luck. I hope someone on here can help you! ♥️

    Your Dogs thoughts on chickens ~ a poll

    I have a Labrador and a Cavalier. They ignore the chickens and would not hurt them, but love them for the sweet delights that they drop! It’s kind of a symbiotic relationship. The chickens appreciate the dogs for protection and the dogs love the girls for their poop! Go figure! Gross- I know-...

    Hatched shipped eggs with birth defects

    I would’ve agreed before last week. Early Last summer, I had a broody and I ordered from two different breeders on eBay for Bluebells, and Marans. I also threw some local fertilized eggs under her (some went into an incubator). I let them rest, followed a special schedule for the shipped eggs...

    Pullet with possible fungal skin issue?

    I know that this is strange but have you looked in her mouth, how are her eyes?

    Pullet with possible fungal skin issue?

    When I had an issue with poultry lice I emailed the “Chicken Chick.” She has a website. She was so kind and helpful. I would be tempted to separate her just in case it is contagious and maybe give her a break from the rooster. Good luck and keep us posted.

    Broody hen ?!?! and what to do now ?!

    Sorry! I didn’t realize that the coop was too small. I just love broody hens! 😊

    Broody hen ?!?! and what to do now ?!

    I go with the broody because I’ve never had success with breaking the broody and I never had the heart to keep her by herself. Plus you can choose the breed you want to introduce. If you place 12 eggs you’ll probably only hatch 6 maybe 8 and three will be Roos. So think about all of your...

    Broody hen ?!?! and what to do now ?!

    Or go with it! See what happens! I hatch under my broody Orpingtons all of the time! This could be your chance to add to your flock! I get fertile eggs from a local farm. Call around! There’s a way to do this. Get all of the eggs out of the bush. Keep the girls locked in the coop and run for...

    Young hen sick with possibly bumblefoot??

    I looked at your pictures again, don’t go to crazy with new foods and meds. Try to get her stool somewhat normal. Put ACV in the waterers, keep them clean (for her digestion) and try to keep the nesting bars clean once a week for her feet . Gypsy’s feet have been like that for four years! If...

    Young hen sick with possibly bumblefoot??

    I’ve only had chickens for 6 years, my 5 year old olive egger has had the same problem with her feet and I check it every once in a while, monitor it and clean it, and use Vaseline. I have not taken it out and don’t plan to unless it’s necessary. Gypsy is still following me all over the yard! My...
