    Coop roof

    I am building my coop, and we were trying to figure out a way to waterproof the roof. The guy at Home Depot said we could use roofing plastic cement. I have covered the plywood, but I’m afraid that it could be toxic to the birds. From what I read it doesn’t fully harden, it stays a little...

    New flock planning?

    My layer hens have all passed from old age, and the chooks I have now are show chickens that barely lay. We’ve been buying grocery store eggs and I am starting to miss fresh eggs but I am a bit rusty on my layer breeds. I will be starting two flocks, 6-7 hens with 1 rooster in each. So around...

    Protect coop from mini pig?

    I have 2 chickens, 1.5yr apart in age and my older australorp killed 3 speckled Sussex on the same day! So with only one SS left, I had to make a partition so they have separate coop/runs. Over the past year, the wood of the coop weakened with the elements and the mini pig (which I've had since...

    Can Turkeys, chickens and ducks all get along?

    G'day everyone, I'm new here and I just wanted to know can I run turkeys, chickens and ducks all together? Can they even all sleep together? Just making a coop for my place at Kangaroo island and wanted to know. Thank you to anyone who responds 🦃

    Blue Comb - should I be worried?

    Hello! I'm a newer backyard chicken owner. I've appreciated reading other peoples posts as they've helped me raise my own chickens. I have one that has odd coring in her comb. I noticed a white line in the middle 2 weeks ago, and now the top half is blue. It has been colder here, so initially I...

    3 wonderful hens need new home

    We have three healthy, happy, and friendly girls needing re-homed. When we came back to Colorado, we got the maximum number of hens allowed for our town, 6. However, with just my husband and I, we don't need all of them. Our three Rhode Island Reds have proven fun, cold hearty, and just terrific...

    How to prevent frostbite??

    this winter is going to be the coldest it’s been for these hens and I’ve just built a new coop that doesn’t have all the good stuff my old one did. The insulation was half done since I had to put construction on pause when the snow came in and there are even still holes in the roof from where...

    Hen dying suddenly - Found lying on her back

    Hi! Here is a thread concerning an one-year-old hen that died suddenly... She was a Golden Cuckoo English Marans named Pierrette. A very beautiful girl, with a very "Marans-ish" personality... but maybe a hybrid, since she had only laid cream-coloured eggs...? But whatever... So, this...

    Black skin and legs, white feathers, little gal

    Hi all! We hatched out babies for the first time on the farm. The eggs came from a friend's farm who has a large mixed flock, so they are backyard chicks. One of the hebs is way smaller (50% at this point) than the others and has black skin and black legs. I thought silkie but she obviously...

    Chicken coughing up saliva

    Hi there! I’ve noticed one of my chickens, whenever she drinks water, she coughs a bit back up along with a fair bit of saliva and also has a bit of dribble down her chin most days. She’s also smells a little stinky. (Probably weird but) I normally like the smell of my chickens, they remind me...

    Warts on comb - What is it?

    Hello! One of my chickens - a young white legbar - has had white, yellowish, warts on her comb for a few months (since last spring at least)... ...Her name is Lila. Actually, she has no worrying symptoms : she is energetic, is laying fine blue eggs, and has never been sick since I have had...
