Do you have trouble (with a loose lid on top) with critters getting into it?

No, I have not

My granddaughters Buff Orpington hen has been sick for the past three days she's drinking alot of water not eating and of course passing a watery looking liquid. Anyone got an idea what could be wrong with her and what to do about it. Thanks in advance.

is there any solids in her droppings? how does her crop feel?

I use water straight from the hose, never has been a problem w/ the chlorine.

Do any of you buy organic? If so, have you found a decent source that doesn't kill the pocketbook? My intent is to mainly freerange, but I know I will need to supplement, especially in the colder months.

Well my blue Andalusian pullet is MIA today. No feathers or trace left behind. I expect some losses, but dang it, I was looking forward to seeing that girl all grown up!

Hi!! I have a question!! Two of my 6 young silkies (too young to sex) have wonky toes! They're all twisted and backwards! Is this a birth defect? Is it genetic?

I would send a pic but they're already in bed!

I have always heard it is an incubation problem, but do not know that for sure.
