    Teaching older hens to free range

    The main reason we haven’t been free ranging our hens is because we have a family with dogs in our neighborhood (who would definitely eat our chickens) that basically roam the neighborhood as they please, but we just found out that family is moving! :ya So we would love to try to teach our...

    Hens are acting like real peckers!

    In the past month or two, my chickens have been really pecky. They don’t seem really aggressive but they keep pecking my muck boots and legs and it hurts! My largest hen whose the top of the pecking order has also started acting strange when I hold her and almost comes at me like she wants to...

    Looking for a good coop!

    I'm thinking of getting some silkies this summer and have been looking into other coops. I can't keep them with my ISAs because they don't have enough room in their coop for more chickens.

    Second Generation Sex Link questions

    I've already asked this once but the more information I read the more I want to know! I saw a post about 3rd generation Isa Browns being White and sweet and 3rd generation BSL chickens being a form of barred and not very nice but I want to know if anybody's crossed the two? I have one Isa Brown...

    Flystrike Solutions?

    I have a small flock of three ISA Browns. One of my hens, Gertie, hasn't laid since early March, and has been having light diarrhea for about a month now. I've been keeping an eye on her and have separated her from my other two girls a few times (they are fine health-wise). I lost two hens...
