Hi- I am doing a coop/run remodel and moved the nest boxes. Since doing so, many of our chickens seem to have stopped laying. We have 9 hens and usually get 6-8 eggs/day. As soon as we moved the boxes we started getting 2-4/day. A few of them have gone in the new location and others are laying...

About 3 weeks ago my barred rock chick (then 7 weeks) was attacked by 2 of my older hens. Her wounds were pretty severe- pecked clean from the back of her comb to her upper back and around the sides on her head. (Her back wasn't bad- just a strip down the middle with missing feathers). There...

One of my 7 week old Barred Rock chicks escaped and got attacked by my 1 year old buff orpington & easter egger. I heard commotion right away and by the time I got out there they had attacked her so much she now has no skull & neck feathers or skin. I put neosporin and a bandage on it and...

My lil' white crested black polish hen (1 yr old) is still ill. She isolated, had white diarrhea, her vent area was bulging somewhat and she appeared to be trying to lay an egg and listless. I thought she might be egg bound and have given her about 5 long warm baths/soaks. I've gloved/lubed and...

This morning our 1 yr old polish hen isolated herself. She has appeared normal up to this point- laying regularly, eating/drinking, etc. This morning her feathers were fluffed and her tail down. And she didn't move when I approached her and she normally follows me everywhere. She has...

I got new chicks yesterday. I was supposed to get: 2 black australorps, 1 barred rock, 1 speckled sussex, 1 RIR, 1 silver wyandotte & 1 polish. (We had ordered a dominique, but they said they didn't send one) We can figure out the RIR, the polish and speckled sussex. And I think the silver...

We have 4 chickens in our current coop but are getting 6-8 more and need to expand our existing coop. We are hoping to use as much of the current coop/run as possible. I'll attach photos of our current coop/run. It is a tractor run but we don't use it as such. We are planning on raising the...

Hen or rooster? Any guesses? The Buff: The Golden: Thanks!

I have either an easter egger or an ameracauna that is 9 weeks old. Any idea what s/he is? Thanks!

Hi- We have a new coop and are trying to get it set up well. We live in Seattle, so it is wet much of the year and are drying to avoid a wet run and muddy penned in area. And rats, racoons and possums are potential problems. Since the photo was taken I have installed a brick-lie patio that is...

Ok- you all were so helpful with our White Crested Black Polish that I thought I would ask about our 6 week old Buff Polish Crested---- hen or rooster? Same thing for the Golden Polish Crested--- hen or rooster? Thanks!

Hi- I have 6 week old chicks and my 2 white crested black polish are developing (facially) different. I don't have a recent full body picture, but they appear to be similar. It is primarily the wattle development I am wondering about as they are very different. Thanks!
