    Hen acting strange

    I think I'll lower the boxes down closer to the floor. As it is now the boxes are only about 12 inches off the floor. But they refuse to jump up into them or on th roost in front of them. I also have a medium size plastic pet kennel in the coop that they can go into when they want some added...

    Hen acting strange

    Thanks for the input Erin. I was wondering if she was doing as a prep for egg laying for some reason...who knows, she's just goofy I guess. None of my hens have taken to using the nesting boxes I installed. They all lay their eggs on the floor of the coop and stay on the floor. None of them seem...

    Hen acting strange

    I have a silkie hen that I've noticed acting funny. Several times I have caught her inside the coop, facing into one corner of her coop, against the walls, hopping up and down like she is stuck looking for a way out. I picked her up and checked her eyes, etc. to see if she was blind or had a...

When I gave them the bacon grease on bread, my first thought was that it should be similar to the idea of lard or suet you put out for wild birds in the winter...then I started getting nervous about it and therefore posted the question. I'm sure it isn't all...

    Is bacon grease a no, no?

    I had some bacon grease left over in the pan from breakfast and thought the chickens would like the flavor. I added some to a piece of bread and they gobbled it up. Is it ok? I know it isn't nutritious, but as a one-time treat is it ok or will they get sick?

    My month old Silkie chick is shaking its head when it hears my voice

    It is baffling. Only one of my chicks has this issue. Must be a sensitive ear.

    My month old Silkie chick is shaking its head when it hears my voice

    Hi all, I'm hoping someone has had this issue before and has an answer for the behavior my little chick is exhibiting. I've noticed in the last couple of days when I've been visiting my chicks (obviously startling the little nervous girls or waking them up) one of them has started shaking its...
