    Pecking at each other

    My chickens peck at each other really bad, and I’m looking for the best solution. Is there a favorite ointment for healing? What do you all use to heal/detour chickens that peck at each other

    Am I a bad mom

    Update. My chicks are all grown up now! My girls sleep IN THEIR COOP, and lay eggs every day. They love to play in the grass, and are super happy. We weren’t able to get a bigger run, but they are let out in the yard daily. We ended up making a ladder that fit, and the hens figured out how to...

    No shell egg?

    My chickens just started laying eggs for the first time, and 4/5 have been laying for about a month now. I only had one that wasn’t laying. Today, I checked the coop and there was an egg with no shell in the roosting area. Is this normal? It isn’t cracked or punctured, but there is yellow...

    Can you freeze chicken food?

    Hey friends, I’m a first time chicken owner in Arizona. It has been reaching 80°+ this week, and my chickens have started panting. I was wondering if I could put water in their food, mash it, then put it in the fridge or freezer. I used to do this when they were chicks, but I never refrigerated...

    Is purina feed okay?

    I also have a 20% protein all flock feed, but it’s pellets. My chickens have only had crumble, and when I tried the pellets they didn’t like it.

    Is purina feed okay?

    I honestly don’t like anything purina. I’ve never bought their products, and didn’t plan on it, but I’m new to chickens and one laid her first egg today. I went and got purina layer feed. My friend said the purina was good. I didn’t like that it was 16% protein, as they have been on 18% protein...

    Am I a bad mom

    I think i'm just going to get a new coop. The coop is in horrible condition, not waterproof, and I can't access it easily. If anyone knows of a good coop that is affordable, please let me know.

    In need of a coop fast

    I have 5 chickens, and I am in Arizona. I am in need of a chicken coop. If anyone knows of a relatively cheap chicken coop online, or in a store that can fit 5 chickens, and is waterproof (preferably under $300) please let me know. The coop I have is way too small, and is completely horrible. I...

    Favorite actions or sounds of your birds?

    One of favorite things my chickens have done, is when they were chicks. I made a mini roost for them, and they would sit and try to balance on it. One day, one of the chicks tried to balance, and fell forward. She held on and did a loopty loop and made a woooOOO sound. It was the funniest thing...

    Chickens Coughing and Sneezing

    Have you called animal control? That is animal abuse, and his chickens need to get out of that situation. I don't know if animal control will take chickens, but I would call around and see what's possible. Maybe there is an equivalent to a welfare check for animals. Those animals need to be...

    Am I a bad mom

    I wanted the run to be the whole side of my yard, we paid over $500 for this run. It was the best we could find. That’s another reason I feel like I didn’t do it right.

    Am I a bad mom

    I just took some pictures, I used my hand for a size comparison. The coop has some notches where I can put something, I’m guessing that’s where the roost is supposed to go. I don’t know what age to put in nesting boxes, so I don’t have them yet. The front section (white half) has slits in...

    Am I a bad mom

    *This is my first time having chickens* I got currently have 5 chickens. They are 9 and 8 week old chicks, who are outside. A few weeks ago, I found a coop and got it. The friend who gave it to me didn’t give the ladder, so they have no ladder to get up to the laying section. I am still trying...
