    HELP PLEASE

    I found the Article about keeping chickens in Winter: https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/caring-for-chickens-in-the-winter.77128/ There are more, but I haven’t read them. I have no clue if they are good and add more reliable info. The number of ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ in the reviews give an...

    HELP PLEASE

    What exactly is 50 * 50 feet ? Usually a coop is much smaller. Are you new with chickens? Your first winter period? I see now you joined BYC yesterday. So .. I suppose we all make/made beginners mistakes with chickens. We just try to help. Please don’t get annoyed. One of the staff members...

    Random chicken shows up…male or female?

    Maybe she got lost (after getting scared of a predator)? Where is the owner? He/she might be glad to have her back.

    HELP PLEASE

    You probably have too many chickens for the space. Chickens with temperament need lots of space. Can you free range them at least a few hours, daily. If you really have no possibilities to separate, sell her + one more hen to someone who has lots of room and very few chickens. Or sell 2...

    HELP PLEASE

    Keep watch. See if it is what you expect. Maybe it could be something else too. Is she low on the pecking order? How much space do they have? Are there hiding places? Can you post a few pictures?

    Yes. I won a balloon trip as a prize at work, together with 4 other colleagues. 🏆. Great experience. Its only allowed in very calm weather.

    Question of the Day - Monday, December 1st, 2025

    Not for fun. In general it’s no problem if I have an appointment or if it starts to rain. I do seek shelter sometimes if it’s raing hard for a short time. When it starts to rain, and I’m in the garden I usually go inside.

    Peeps in Europe!

    Congrats! I was surprised you had shows recently. Here all chickens, quail and other poultry are in a lock down for another long period with bird flu. No shows since October. This year the amount of contaminated birds are even worse than the previous years.

    Windy hill chickens - first flock(s) of my own

    Yes Yes, with sugar. I think she uses apple syrup. What else did you have in mind. I advise you to this thread. Snow seems a bad alternative for water...

    Peeps in Europe!

    I have 8 bantam chickens now. All female. I keep a record of my flock in the App Anymal. This ⬇️ is from the Dutch app, but i believe its available in English too. The hatch dates are not exact. But the app needs a specific day. The app has an archive section too, where I keep all losses...

    Peeps in Europe!

    Thanks for the update Abpatchy. So glad things worked out for you after such a hard time. :hugs Are you keeping the bantams in the same coops and runs where you had the big ones previously? Do you have to travel further now? I’d love to see a few photos of your wheaten colored bantam...

    Peeps in Europe!

    She was recently online, on November, 20. If you click on someone’s name you can see their profile, last visit date and read their last posts. I did. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/water-belly-first-ever-drainage.1680256/ And now i wonder if the drainage was successful.

    MJ's little flock

    I don’t grasp this. Are you a cricket player? Is this about the field where you play cricket? Or is it all metaphorical? Either way :hugs .

    Rats? A Cat? Something Else? What killed my chickens?

    I suppose we all have made mistakes. I did for sure when I started keeping chickens. We had a rat problem too in the first years, because a neighbour had chickens and rabbits in the same run. They spilled feed and attracted rats. Rats came in their run through the tunnels the rabbits made. The...

    Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

    In all our mainstream news today: A kitten on a Dutch goat farm has died from avian influenza. This is the first time that avian influenza has been confirmed and died in a Dutch cat. It is not yet clear how the kittens contracted avian influenza. The owner of the litter says the mother cat...
