Bok is my favorite chicken. I hand raised her & she's the sweetest chicken I've ever met. Today my cousin brought over his new dog, a border collie. We played frisbee in the field for over an hour. I had noticed that the chickens had wandered out to the field. I immediately got my cousin to...

about a week and half ago two of my chickens died. They were VERY lethargic, laid in one place, had runny poo that was kinda yellow & opaque. they laid in one spot & never moved - with their heads on the ground ( with their necks extended over kinda). I tried to save those two - water with...

Hi, wow I haven't been on in a long while. I've decided that I'd like to find a new home for my Seabright Silver rooster. He's just a bit on the aggressive side - he no longer flogs me but goes after my room mate. i'm concerned about giving him away. I think that I'm afraid someone might...

wasn't sure exactly where to post this. My NH red is dehyraded - or it least i think she is. i let the chickens out yesterday & she stayed in the run, her tail down, & obviously not her usual self. I scooped her up & took her in the house, stuck her in front of a fan & a frozen water bottle &...

So i'm airbrushing a nameplate for each of my chickens, havnen't gotten to far yet, but wanted to share. I probably was the first person that inquired about a 'chicken stencil' at my local craft shop! I ended up having to make one! let me know what you think!! ( each one of the chickens is...

For some reason my hens looooove the compost pile. I usually have it covered up, but I had to throw away the plastic i was using because it had deteriorated so much, after that my girls were goin nuts over the pile! I think I'm gonna have to put a fence around it, or cover it again.

I've gotten a few nests around the coop - enough to where they were bothering me today while watering. can chickens eat wasps? will the wasps harm my chickens - will they sting them & such? just trying to figure out the best way to get rid of them - i might end of spraying them, but then i...

someone recently asked me if I had any poo for sale, they wanted it for their trees. they said that chicken manure @ the store is pretty pricy now. I dont think it's that bad of an idea! I'll have to start some more compost piles - i only have one HUGE one right now. I also had the thought...

I spent yesterday evening hanging out with my chickens. I was standing in the run looking at my little teenagers ( who @ this point are a little reluctant to leave the run) when i felt something touch my head. it was my kitty GIR, who is still learning how to be nice to the chickens, she...

I have some 'teenager' chicks that are fully feathered & growing, I was curious when I can allow them to eat 'big' chicken food ( as in laying pellet). They're still eating chick feed & they get a little scratch every once in awhile. I've estimated that they're it least 6 weeks old ( my pair...

well i know its apart of owning chickens, but so far I've been pretty lucky with my girls ( except for two - one just disappeared & the other was 'gotten' by a hawk or something similar - she was a BB red). this evening i went to check on my girls & I found my RIR Lucy laying on the coop floor...
