    My sister and brother in law have a farm and have 30 chickens. This spring, when they introduced the most recent batch into the established flock, one of the new teenagers got picked on. Her head was bloodied and bald and she was terrified. We separated her out, cleaned her wounds daily and...

    The Hen House

    As a first time chicken owner I really don’t know if what I’m doing is right or wrong or as long as I treat my chickens well and keep them happy, fed and a nice home all will be well. We used to have a Great Dane and she sadly passed, but we will be using the dog house we built for her as our...

    Happy Chickens

    Is it just me? When my chickens look like they’re happy their tails seem to get larger and then they ‘wag’ their tails. Instead of a thin tail, the tail gets wider.

    Lone Rooster - tv/movies for him to watch? iPad games for him to "play"?

    For those with chickens that like to watch tv - are there any particular shows or movies that your chickens seem to really enjoy? (anything on Netflix, Hulu, Prime, Youtube...) I spend a lot of time outside with Rooster, as he is all alone (I live in east LA, he was dumped in our alley so he's...

    Spent my birthday finishing the new setup.

    Spent my 27th birthday finishing up painting to roof we added to the protected run. I had another thread on how I should go about expanding my space. Added a 10x10 area to the 32 sq ft run attached to the coop. Used a heavy duty dog kennel and covered the top with chicken wire to protect from...

    A good fodder mix

    Hey thanks for having a look I'm going to use fodder to help keep my feed cost down, is there a good mix of seeds I should use or should I just use barely? Any help would be appreciated, thank you

    yellow head

    When I pet my chickens their faces turn a yellowish, when i put them down it goes right back to red. I thought I might be squeezing them too tight, but they don't run away. When i put them down they sit right in front of me and wait for their back rub. Any idea why their face turns yellowish?
