    Hen not leaving coop

    Well she had her first day and night with the pig. It’s not ideal but works for now. Her crate and food are on top of his house. I taught her to go up and down and she went to bed on her own and got up this morning to forage. My only hope is that she doesn’t over groom the pig. lol. The flock...

    Hen not leaving coop

    I promised her I’d never put her back with them again. I had her out overnight just to watch her eating and drinking and check her walk etc. I felt she was fine and maybe I was being too overprotective so I put her back and that’s when it got brutal. So she’s still in my shed and I’m trying to...

    Hen not leaving coop

    Update. She’s now living in my shed 😢 Apparently they ARE bullying her. I caught it on camera and it was brutal. She has some superficial wounds that were slightly bleeding. So I don’t know if this means they sense she’s ill or something? The rooster used to protect her, which is why I thought...

    Hen not leaving coop

    Ok she’s been eating her 20% protein pellets and I’ve given a few meal worms. I’ll try eggs too. Tomorrow will be warmer so I’ll try taking her back out then. I’ve not seen any bullying. Just worried as she stays on the roost bar and eats from the poop board above the nests. She never even goes...

    Hen not leaving coop

    Hi. We had a stray hen move in a couple months ago. She was healthy, eating, drinking and getting along with everyone else. The last 4-5 days she has refused to leave the coop. On day 2 I went to pick her up and she flew down and ran out with the flock and stayed with them all day foraging etc...

    Stray Rooster

    Wanted to share this bedtime photo. All cuddled together, one gal is in the main coop by herself. Every night is different as to where they sleep. This is in the small covered run area.

    When a Hen Passes...

    I think it’s sweet that you had a ceremony. We also buried the one gal that we lost a few months ago. It was tough since she was suffering and my husband had to euthanize her. I held her for hours before after taking care of her for weeks. I cried, not ashamed. I put flowers on her grave and...

    Stray Rooster

    Just an update on the 2 newbies. Thankfully they’re both very healthy and completely fit in with my 5. They still don’t let me pet but do come close now. It took Wilma awhile to roost or eat with everyone but now has been accepted by all. Ralphie still rules the roost telling them when to go to...

    Stray Rooster

    Thanks. He is a stray that made a home here 😆 We call him Ralphie. Aw what a great story for Baby! His own apartment! lol. That’s fantastic. You can’t keep him? Yeah people can be awful abandoning animals. Ugh. Ralphie came here about two months ago. This is his home now. A month after him a...

    Stray Rooster

    Checking out the smashed pumpkin. They’re all really getting along now. The two new ones still don’t let me pet but that’s ok.

    Most likely. People can be so cruel.

    Stray Rooster

    Just the one so far 😩 I swear they know each other from a previous life! All seem to be doing really well.

    Apparently if you don’t want your chickens, dump them at my place!

    I thought the same, maybe she was dehydrated and now with new food gave her some diarrhea. It’s still off and on.

    Fish/aquarium peeps! Rusty slime?

    Algae can be different colors, usually not harmful to fish. May be over feeding or intense light. What killed the fish is most likely from not cycling the tank.

    Apparently if you don’t want your chickens, dump them at my place!

    Well, new girl (Wilma) is getting used to things, the girls aren’t chasing her off as much and she doesn’t isolate herself now. Ralphie seems to leave her be. Last night she went to the coop at night on her own, it was great not fishing her out of a tree! She keeps her distance from me though...

    Yep, another! Ralphie needs to shut his beak! He has enough love ❤️ 😂😂

    Stray Rooster

    That’s funny, sometimes they seem smart and other times completely bird brained 😂 We live in a rural community. Everyone has 2-5 acres or more. Most are completely fenced in like us, so you really can’t go door to door. However I didn’t post flyers or anything 🤔 Someone said Andalusian, seems...

    That was my thinking as well, thanks so much.

    Apparently if you don’t want your chickens, dump them at my place!

    Was I wrong to not let them be? I hate to steal someone’s birds but they wouldn’t leave. On both of them I checked for mites and normal looking poops before letting them in. I understand there could be illnesses that I can’t detect or show up later but…🤞
