OMG Much to my surprise I have Fall Babies. I tried to get a photo with all of them in it but that was impossible. I just pulled them all out of the coop and put them in a nice big clean stall.

2 days ago I went out to 18 new baby chicks.....I have 2 hens that hatched them in the big coop. Mean while I have my hen Jenny that is definitely at the bottom of the pecking order. She gets picked on terribly and still has a limp from a month ago. I have put her cage in an empty stall and she...

Hi All, Well it is going on 5 weeks that my Jenny hurt her leg/foot. She has no puncture wounds and no swelling When this first happened she was holding her foot up and hop on one leg.

Hi Everyone, I live in Maine and it has been raining for 3 days. It is very damp and the temp is in the high 60's and at night I have no idea. My geese are outside they have a big pool and they have a nice shelter my husband made them. I also leave my Barn door open to the tack room in case they...

Hi Everyone, Well it has been just about 2 weeks ( but it feels like years ) and my Jenny is still favoring her leg. I put her in her cage, to keep her from using it so it will heal. She has been confined for 5 days now as suggested. She has access to everything she needs. BUT she has not laid...

Hi everyone, My favorite little hen Jenny has been hopping around on one leg for about 4-5 days now. I have checked her foot did not see any kind of wounds, I moved her toes she did not squirm or say anything. I even ran my fingers up her entire leg and lightly pulled on it to see if maybe it...

Okay so here is the thing.....my 2 geese have been handled and interacted with on a daily basis....BUT a few days ago my Gander bit me on the back of the calf and left a good bruise~! Now usually when he gets all excited and wants to bite we pick him up and let him calm down. I am not sure if it...

Hi everyone since I found out that Bantam is the size of a chicken I have no idea what Breed my chickens are. I think I have a few different types but this is Jenny maybe you can help me. She has beautiful feathers on her feet, like my 2 Roosters. I am hoping I can figure out how to post the photo.

I have only been around chickens for the past 6 years. My husband had them when I met him. He told me they were "Bantam" Chickens.......My question is.....Is Bantam a breed? or is it a size??? If that is a size terminology then I have no idea what the breed of my chickens are. Sounds ignorant I...

Help I am infested with mice. I swear at night when I go and let my horses in there are at least 50 mice in my coop it is way out of control now. I made the mistake of using mice bait and lost my sweet little hen Penny last week. I am still beating myself up over that one. I think she ate some...
