    Second dead chicken today

    Sorry to hear your flock has coccidiosis but at least you were able to find an answer quickly and can now treat everyone else

    Resource guarding keeps derailing my flocks. Can't crack the code!

    Unfortunately sometimes you just get difficult birds and despite your best efforts you have problems. Doesn't mean that they're hopeless, they just require a slightly different setup - and I think a trough style feeder would be a great idea for your flock. Either way, don't beat yourself up over...

    Resource guarding keeps derailing my flocks. Can't crack the code!

    Chickens like to do stuff together and food looks much more delicious if someone else is eating it, as long as they have the option to use another feeder and no one is getting hurt, I'd let them sort it out amongst themselves. Some flocks are also just plain more high strung than others. Sounds...

    Second dead chicken today

    Sorry for your loss Do you have pictures? How old were the birds and what breed? Do you have the nutritional analysis for the feed? Do they have any sort of injuries on them? How are the other birds acting? Has anyone been acting off at all? Has there been any bullying in the flock? How does...

    I think i messed up...

    Several things can cause reduced egg laying. First, they might be going into molt as it is about that time of year for it, could also be the stress of the new birds being added (chickens aren't fans of change). I think in your case it's a combination of the 2 Mixing the 2 feeds is not advised...

    Brand for supplementation of Green Tea

    Thx! The bird in my profile picture is an easter egger I used to have named Sage. She hated to be touched at all and if I did pick her up she would lecture me in her naturally annoyed sounding voice (she always looked and sounded annoyed even when she wasn't) until I put her down

    Brand for supplementation of Green Tea

    Green tea has less caffeine than coffee but it still can have up to 75mg per serving. Birds really don't need caffeine at all. As much as I love green tea personally and believe in its health benefits, I would not give it to my birds due to the caffeine. When it comes to chickens, simple is...

    Are salmon favorelles actually as cuddly as they say

    Depends, some are, some aren't. Most chickens in general aren't cuddly though even if they're friendly (my birds are friendly but not cuddly). Most salmon faverolles are good natured and docile though

    Rooster Aggression in Mixed Flock

    Also important to note if the drakes are trying to mate your chicken hens they need to be separated immediately 'cause a drake can very easily kill a chicken hen if he tries to mate with her, that's a big reason why it's not usually recommended to keep ducks and chickens together especially drakes

    What made you happy today?

    One evening after I got off work I was talking to dad to see what he wanted me to pick up when one of my cats Raven heard my voice and meowed at the phone (she's a talker, if you meow at her she meows back)

    Thinking about getting a barn cat

    Thinking about getting a barn cat

    Chickens absolutely love cat food. Most of the time cats won't go after a fully grown chicken but chicks are a different story Your best bet for a hunter is a cat that was raised by a mother who hunts. One of my cats Phoenix was and his breed - or rather one of the known breeds he's mixed with...
