Having chickens has been my life dream. I’ve had the chance to live it for a good couple years, but the property I’m on keeps...

    Moving is a must, they have to go. 😭 NorCal, Colusa county

    Hi, all. Having chickens has been my life dream. I’ve had the chance to live it for a good couple years, but the property I’m on keeps getting more run down instead of better. Due to furthering health decline combining with that, I need to rehome my flock in full or piecemeal. I’ll try to get...

    Unsure of broody’s egg age… ideas?

    So, one of my girls went broody and hid herself away. We finally found her and got (almost) everything out, but it seems she was hiding one under the floorboards. When we went to do another sweep a couple days later, she had more than she should have. I candled them, and she had a successful...

    Bees in the Feed… What?!

    Does anyone else have this problem? It looks like they’re trying to gather it up, but I can’t be sure. The chickens aren’t eating when they’re in the pens, now. They’ll only eat when I scatter it while they’re out on the property doing free range. I bought pellets, so hopefully that’ll alter the...

    Camp Fire smoke & ash - Chickens’ nares bloody/runny?

    I’ve got one chicken with blood traces on both sides, and so far I’ve been thoroughly wet-sneezed all over by another. We aren’t far from the Camp Fire, but we are far enough to be out of danger. I’ve been out every day in makeshift smoke & particulate gear to clean cages and refresh everyone’s...

    Attempting a cross-States Rescue pick-up! :D

    A lovely couple I’ve bbeen chatting with online for some time now was very excited to hear that I not only got chickens (finally), but that they were rescues. Did I want their special babies, as well? They’re outgrowing the living space, and here I am, another chicken person who loves special...

    3 Weeks Old, Dog Attack - Photos in comment

    Hi, peeps. Sudden emergency today with my tiny flock of rescues. We've only had them a few days, but they're already special to us. Out of six, five have been found. It looks like the dog that attacked ripped open their short term home, Emergency Coop, and started "playing" with the "toys"...

    NOW is the time to buy fake eggs!

    I went to my "local" (now that I'm rural, local has a whole new level of "how far is it?" LOL) Walmart to pick up some goods the other day, and saw all of their Easter stuff is now at 90% off. Why post about it here? Well... I got a dozen pack of fake eggs for 19c!!! A little over a penny an...

    Outdoor Nesting Boxes?

    Hi, all! I vaguely remember my grandfather having various milk crates, wood boxes, etc, outside of his coop for chickens who decided they want to lay, but aren't interested in going back into the coop, and to give them places to plop down for a bit. He also had several ducks, but they...

    Hermit is a Crazy Chicken Lady

    (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? Well, I'm not entirely new, but it's been so long that I'm a RE-newbie! :D I left my last chicken in the care of a friend of my family, a woman with a lovely tiny flock, about fourteen years ago. I would be moving to the city...
