    Just one chicken left and I fear she is cold and lonely!

    new chick 203, cute hen house! Very nice. I ran it by my husband and he was open to acquiring a buddy. Our problem is in the warmer months, when our free-ranging chickens poop all over the driveway and walkways. Having just one was appealing in that regard. The loneliness, however, is more...

    Just one chicken left and I fear she is cold and lonely!

    Thanks for all the idea and support. I do think I will ask around for a buddy. We live in rural NJ and the weather has been snowy lately, keeping Feather in the barn. At least when she can get out she can sit by the front door, and peer in at us. She seems to like that.

    Just one chicken left and I fear she is cold and lonely!

    Thanks everybody. We do have a coop that we lock at night, but when the weather is good the former gang liked to come outside and roam for the day. After they got a taste of that, there was no going back. We'll think about a buddy in the spring I guess. I was worried about introducing a new...

    Just one chicken left and I fear she is cold and lonely!

Just last month our 2nd araucana, Daisy, was nabbed by a fox. She was molting off season too, so she was freezing in the cold NJ winter anyway. So, Feather is...

    Do racoons hunt in the day?

    We lost 4 hens over the course of a year. One in broad daylight to a hawk (lots if feathers in one spot) the other three to fox (a light trail of feathers.) The fourth and last was taken from right next to the house where she would hang out and eat the birdseed that fell out if the feeder. With...

    Need advice--chick with bad leg

    Thanks everyone. We bandaided her. The callus looks worse, actually a little cut open. And with the bandaid on, the foot is definitely twisted. Will hope for the best. Thanks again for all the advice.

    Need advice--chick with bad leg

    I guess we'll try to bandaid her when my husband gets home and see how it takes. My two little girls just love her.

    Need advice--chick with bad leg

    We just picked up four 7 day old chicks at feed store to discover one little baby has a bad leg. The "elbow" is callussed from her using it as a foot. Any advice on correcting this or helping her along? I've read abt splinting, bandaids, cod liver oil but do not know which road to take. She is...
