Hey y'all! A couple of weeks ago we finally moved our two "og" hens to their new coop and run. The coop is a small prefab, and the run is one of those metal ones that you have to assemble; a tarp is covering one section, but we plan on getting another to cover the section their coop is under...

Omg, thank you so much!! After looking at other pics of fowl pox on here, I do really feel like it might be that! Which is oddly relieving, to me.

Hehe, aren't they?? And I'm fairly sure, yes!

Absolutely, that's a really good point... Thank you so much!! We live in the southeastern US, so definitely moist, and we live near a river/creek. We've also got a pond in our yard from the previous owners that we are looking to fill in. Usually we let our birds free-range while supervised...

Bo says "what's that?"

Staring into my soul

"Excuuuuuse me??"

Enjoying the new run

Ahh ok, thank you! If her eye is looking better, should I still put the ointment on it, or would it be a safe bet to just let it try to heal on its own? I ask because this is still a stressful time for her, so I want to avoid adding to it as much as possible! I'll see if I can get a hold of the...

Continuing from my last post, I've been just trying to make sure she's getting enough nutrition. Two days ago was scrambled eggs with crushed egg shells for protein and calcium, yesterday was mealworms and crickets for protein, and today was scrambled eggs with egg shells again. All three days...

Both of these gals came with our new house in December, and the previous owners didn't leave any details, unfortunately :/

Yes, brown eggs all around! And ahh, yeah, those are the 3 breeds I keep circling around!

Hey y'all, I've been trying to figure out for the longest what breed my bossiest girl is! Her name is Chocobodia (Bo for short). She looks like so many breeds I find online, lol. In two of the pictures is our other og girl (defo Isa Brown, right?) who we call "Lady", but her full name is "Lady...

I just went out to watch her and gave them some "moist" crickets and mealworms. She ate it right up! Then she went and drank water for a good minute. Aaand then pooped, which looked normal! I feel like for the most part, if she's not eating, then she's loafing out :/

We're in the near-coastal part of North Carolina right now! And... lesson learned :') I have her and flockmate quarantined in our old coop and run, and a good ways from our other two hens, and not letting anyone free-range during the quarantine. Her flockmate laid an egg today! She seems to be...

Ok, so on Sunday we bought two new Isa Browns that we were told are both 10mos old... One of them is in great shape, full plumage, bright red comb and wattles, drinking, eating, etc. The other one... she looks like she's been through it. It was our first time buying chickens from anyone, and...

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? We bought our first home in Dec, and it came with 3 hens! (2) How many chickens do you have right now? Right now, we have 4. One of the original 3 died in February (suspected old age), and we got two new ones on Sunday...
