Hi there. I have an Easter Egger pullet who is about 14 weeks old. Yesterday I noticed she was doing a weird "high step" walk, but seemed fine otherwise and seemed to be eating and drinking normally (at least when I was there to observe her). So this morning when I let the pullets out of the...

Hi, just looking for some opinions here. We are presently brooding 8 chicks in our house (some 5 weeks old, some 6 weeks old), so they are nearly ready to go out to the coop. We have two adult hens, who are the only ones who survived a predator attack that killed all the other hens. Of course...

I'm considering ordering some day-old chicks to sneak underneath her, but I'm concerned because we have...

I'm really new to this, so I hope I'm doing this right. If you reply to me and I don't answer you, it's only because I'm not sure how to do all this (I'm a Computer for Dummies kind of gal). But I would love to make friends with some fellow chicken lovers! We started our flock in the spring of...
