    Free hens!!

    First of all, the Vet was in surgery when the box was left on their porch. I arrived at 8:00 a.m.to get a shot for my dog, given by a vet tech. She told me about the hens and when I left I took them. Don’t think my Vet knew about the hens! They are both in good weight and seem healthy except...

    Free hens!!

    Took my dog to vet yesterday and someone had left a box with two hens on their front porch. They gave them to me and when I got home and put them in quarantine did I see that one of the hens can hardly walk . A awful case of bumblefoot! Very swollen with toes going off to the side.

    Automatic coop doors: I'd love your input

    I’ve had an automatic door for years and never had a problem. The door is plastic and goes down very slow. There is no way the a chicken could get caught. Mine locks also, which is important, raccoons could possibly lift the door. I couldn’t have chickens if I didn’t have it. I never have...

    Wry Neck quail chick

    The first two chicks hatched perfectly but Last three quail that had trouble hatching. After three days of trying to get out of shells I carefully helped. Their toes are all drawn up and one has a curved neck. I think it’s from remaining in the shells so long. Anything I can do?

    Roos comb is bad

    Don’t know what is wrong with my rooster’s comb. I cleaned it and put Neosporin on it. The comb is hard and bloody in spots. Only rooster so no fighting. We did have some cold temps this winter but hens combs are fine.
