just wanted to share... I'm SO excited to get a new coop from greencoops.com! We have had a lot of raccoon activity the past several months & the hens were not protected enough...now they live in style & safety! It's been a great coop & easy to clean, but very heavy to move. It's going to...

Hello, I have 2 hens around 2 years old. They were laying really steady up until 2 weeks ago (the weather got cold/rainy in Seattle). In addition to that my barred rock started dropping feather like crazy & has large "bald" spots...only one tail feather left! There are new ones slowly...

I have 3 hens in my backyard, which has a 6 foot high fence all around. New & sturdy...but something got in and took my hen away. All that was left is feathers all over. The feather trail led underneath my shed (about 6 inches off the ground). The shed is right up against the coop, but still...

Hello - I have a small coop, both sides of which have a 2ft long & 3 inch wide ventilation strip on each side & the front "door" is removed (always open) I am getting worried with the cold weather to come & the possibility of freezing temperatures in the next month or sooner. My 3 girls are...

Is an occasional chicken sneeze (I have noticed one a day for a couple days) normal? They all act healthy and fit and very energetic...do I have reason to worry?

Don't know why I'm unable to post my lovely hen's pictures on here! I have a flickr account & try to copy and paste the HTML and this is what I get: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/pointyp/2831402461/" title="Who's Laying eggs now!?! by pointyp_72, on Flickr"><img...

Hi all! My 6 mo. old + barred rock hen just started to lay eggs! The first one was a bit rubbery & soft. The other chickens damaged it before I could get a good look at it. The next few eggs were good. I've got a constant supply of oyster shell for them to eat. So is it possible that...
