Thank you justbugged! I think I will return her to the flock and see how she is in the morning. I have no idea if there is a vet around here. I was hoping I could call one and get some friendly (free) advice over the phone. :)
Hey guys got a question for ya. I tried the emergency thread but had no luck. I have 24 week rir with a huge crop. Every other thing about her seems normal. Shes pooping eating and drinking normally. Her feet are warm and her comb is red. I've isolated her for about 24 hours. This morning the...
Shirley was a bit cold today when I checked on her. I was holding her closer to the light to warm her up. Our top chick flew straight up out of the brooder onto my arm. Thinking she just wanted to visit I let her be. She marched up my arm onto my shoulder, looked me square in the eye and then...

Good evening chicken lovers! I'm planting my garden tomorrow. Looking for suggestions on what to plant to give my chickens treats over the summer. I've already got corn going along with sugar snaps. Any ideas?

Welcome to the Washington thread to the new peeps! Got the coop totally framed out today and found tile at habitat for humanity for the coop floor for a whopping 15 cents a piece! Woohoo! All in all a great day! :)
Coop is halfway done! Had to stop when we ran out of wood. Off to the lumber yard tomorrow for a few 2x4 s and some plywood. Can anyone tell me how big the chicken door should be?
Hey laughing feather! Thought I would share with you that I carted a chicken around in my bra for a few hours yesterday! :) this morning when I checked on the chicks little Shirley had a new row of feathers! No lie! THANK YOU THANK YOU for the wonderful advise.
