    Pink watery poop

    I noticed this on our porch this morning and was wondering if anyone could tell me what the issue might be? There are quite a few spots of it. The poop in the coop and run all looks normal. We have 4 chickens about 4 months old. The rooster in particular is in the middle of molting. They...

    Raccoon proof coop

    Raccoon proof coop

    I am new to keeping chickens and as my babies are getting ready to live in their coop/run I am getting more and more nervous about the raccoons getting to them.

    Pullet or Roo

    I am new to raising chickens and I am curious is anyone can tell this early if one is a roo. We have 2 Orpingtons and 2 light Brahmas. The light Brahma that was the smallest and took the longest to feather out now is the largest and looking a bit different than the other Brahma. I noticed the...
