Yes I know. Their coop and run is nearly done but we've had some pretty endless rain here for a couple of weeks that has stalled the progress. I take them all outside in a guarded area in between the rain as much and often as I can. Thanks for helping confirm my suspicions!

Went to a swap at the end of March and picked up several chicks that were supposed to be sexed as pullets. They were very young at that point and I am a first time chicken momma so I didn't know one way or another. I had another chicken momma there who was selling vent sex them for me since she...

Putting finishing touches on my coop. My husband and I have a debate going. For the inside coop perch, should we use 2x4 perch/roost (or something flat/similar) or do something like a pole/round for grasping?

I called every single ace hardware, true value, tractor supply, lowes and home depot in my area and not a single store had it. Ace had a shipment coming but not for a couple of weeks unfortunately and I'm hoping to evict these girls from my laundry room before then. I've seen so many similar...

Morning all, So I'm almost done with the coop and the girls are more than ready to move outside. That being said, I have tried I can not tell you how many stores looking for BJ57 locally for the coop floor. Even Amazon can't get here in a reasonable amount of time and the cost through Amazon is...

I've got 6 girls (2 that are 8 weeks, 2 that are 7 weeks and 2 that are 6 weeks). Coop and run construction is almost complete and we'll be ready to move them outside soon. One of my 6 week olds is still TINY and not fully feathered out like all the rest are. I'm not sure if it's because they're...

Update: unfortunately Coco crossed the rainbow Bridge last night.

In case it's not just Vit B would getting something like Durvet vitamin and electrolytes work the same or better?

Good morning all. I have a roughly 4-5 wk old blue laced golden wyandotte who is having issues standing/walking. I've checked for the obvious signs of injury/illness and I think she may have an injured leg. I've had to move her in front of her water/food and her appetite when I do that...
