So 2 months ago we had bought some chicks from a flea market. The vender said they were about 1-2 days old. We got them set up with chick crumble, electrolyte water, and newspaper bedding with a heat lamp. We constantly monitored the temperature with a thermometer. They were growing fine. After...
my ameracauna hen hasnt eaten (i think she hasnt touched the food put out for her) for w few days. I've set her aside to try to figure it out. I've seen her drink, but she refuses to eat, and is very lethargic. We've given her antibiotics, but that hasnt done anything. There is a sour smell...

We are looking for a bigger home but I am having a hard time finding an HOA that will allow us to have our chickens. Please help me find areas that we can bring our feathered friends.

I'm fairly new to the chicken world and I have raised many chicks myself but I had a hen laying eggs while my last batch in the incubator was still there. I figured I'd wait and see if she would sit on them and raise them. Well yesterday they hatched and she's been an awesome broody hen!! I took...
I bought a pair of silver pheasants last May, and this spring they layed eggs, I incubated them and managed to get 3 to hatch in mid May. I put them outside in a fenced in portion of their parents pen about 2 weeks ago and overnight the largest and fastest growing of the 3 got this crook in its...
Hi!
Can anyone connect me with chicken owners in Novato or Petaluma CA? We have adopted 5 baby chicks from my son's kindergarten class and may have two roosters. The farmer was supposed to take the roosters back but cannot be reached. They are 7 weeks old. They are cute little guys and we want...
Hello all! I have a sick hen. I noticed the last few days that she had been sitting around a lot, but didn't think much of it since it's been very hot. She was very responsive and would get up when I came out. Then yesterday morning I noticed she couldn't keep her balance. When she is standing...
This is my roo. Or at least I think he's a he. Anywho. He's 16 weeks now and this picture was taken about two weeks ago.
I have scoured the internet and I can't figure out what the name is for what's wrong with him or how to fix/ manage it.
It's been getting worse since about week 5 which is...
Last week we bought a new chicken feed that TSC had on sale. It was a Purina brand. Then two days ago we woke up and found three chicks dead. All our chicks are between 3 and 4 months old. The first thing we did was to remove the largest three hens (they have been integrated for about two weeks...
Hi there! This is all new to us and hope you can help with some ideas. We will be picking up 4 pullets on Sunday and will be spending Friday/Saturday securing the coop/run from predators. We purchased the coop and pvc run this weekend and the previous owners of our home had this fenced in area...
Alright so this is a dump question.
There was a Chicken Coop of the week.
I really, really loved the design. I want to find it again but I cant!I THINK it was called the Eggplant Coop, But I'm not sure!
Do you have a list of the Chicken Coop POWs?
Hello, I am new to being a chicken mommy. I work at a school where one of the older classes hatched eggs & one of the chicks was born with a splayed leg. I of course decided to take her in until she got bigger because she was getting picked on by her siblings. We splinted it when she was just a...
