    Our coop has no electricity. I am searching for a coop light to turn on in the am prior to sunrise. It needs to be solar, and the coop is too far away for a remote control. I am not able to find a timer that allows me to set the hour that is compatible with solar lighting, but rather they come...

    Quail and chickens

    I am planing on turning a 8x8 ft shed into a coop for my 8 chickens. We had talked about getting quail could I turn a 3x7 foot and about two feet high part of the coop into a quail cage or would it be to close due to diseases?

    Hen with a stiff leg and toes, help appreciated

    Hello, two days ago I noticed that a two and a half years old Serama hen started standing on one leg after a fight with another hen. She was a bit more withdrawn a day or two before that, but I didn't notice anything else. After the fight she started standing on one leg, and reluctantly walks on...

    Necropsy for White Wyandotte Cockerel

    If you've been following my posts, you'll know that I had a cockerel die after battling some illness. I got a preliminary report Wednesday, and then this one today. One thing that stands out is the "Overgrowth" of a certain bacteria. Could you guys look this over and tell me what you think? I'm...

    How long until she can go back?

    Morning everyone I have a sick hen. I'm treating her now and was wondering. How long after her symptoms stop can I reintroduce her to the main flock? She's still sick right now but not sure how long to wait to put her back when she's better.

    He needs to eat...

    Just another thread about my sick bantam Wyandotte rooster. How can I get some feed in my bird? He has been drinking A LOT of water. Like, he literally stands in front of the water cup and slowly drinks it until it's all gone. His breast feathers stay wet because of all the water he's...

    Maybe impacted crop...maybe not?

    Morning - I turn yet again for a health related question for one of my hens. To preface, she is molting right now and hasn't been laying eggs for at least a week. Last night I noticed her wings looked droopy - not tucked up on her body. It was not hot and no other bird was behaving that way. She...

    Stop telling me to kill my birds....

    Good morning everyone. I just wanted to rant a little bit. In the show world, things can get a little harsh/brutal. An example being that my white wyandotte cockerel has a sinus infection. I know it's a sinus infection because his right sinus cavity is swollen and his wattles are swollen...
