Was just at a friends because one of her hens are sick and she didn't know what to do. When I picked her up and turned her over, her backside was slimy and wet and she felt underweight and there were small worms squirming in and out everywhere.... I've never had this happen and don't know what...

Can I purchase Tylan 50 and syringes at Tractor Supply?

I have a Blue Cochin rooster who recently turned 2. In the last 3-4 weeks I've notice broken feathers on some of the girls... on both sides with the breaks happening midway on the length of the feather. My thought is that he's gotten too big for them. The girls are RIR, EEs, Wyandotte...

Earlier this year I saw where TSC created their own breed of chicken that's supposed to be super friendly but I can't find the name or info now. Any help is appreciated! TX!

I have a kitty condo that isn't being used and wondered about putting it in the run for outside laying opportunities. (Minis the pillow of course) The wicker is thick and I guess I'm worried about their toenails getting torn or broken from it. Your thoughts are appreciated! TX!

I've never let a broody hatch eggs before so I have zero experience with this. We really don't want to keep the chicks but I don't want her all hormonal because they disappear either. Please share your experience!!!

I had to get rid of my mean rooster last year but because the flock free ranges, I was on the lookout for an adult, nice rooster. In the spring I found a LF Cochin rooster and he has been taking good care of the girls. This spring I also ordered day old French Black Copper Marans, of which 4...

Don't know if it's a wise thing to try or not. I've always wanted Silkies but only have one coop/run. I don't want my big girls killing them but thought maybe if my broody hatched them, they'd be protected and then intragated. Let me know your thoughts folks!! Thanks!

I have a hen who went broody. With the temperatures rising, should I put water and food right by the egg box? She is coming out and eating/drinking/dust bathing every day. I'm worried that with it getting hotter, she might be at risk. I don't really want water in the coop but can if your...

the eggs to an incubator? My hen is not proven but she went broody last week. A friend has some shipped eggs coming but I'm not sure we should try her or not. If anyone has had to do this, I'd appreciate hearing your story! If I could safely move the eggs into the incubator should she...

Thanks to Thespoiledchicken's thread, "poop-board-convert-warning-graphic-gross-poop-pictures", about how she designed the poop boards and are maintaining them with PDZ, I was able to start out my new coop with PDZ instead of some other substance on the floor. I was going to go with sand but...

A friend got a pair of turkeys last year and she started laying eggs. There are 8 eggs so far but she is not sitting on them yet. We are supposed to have freezing temperatures for 2 nights. The eggs are in the coop but the turkeys sleep out on top the garage. Would it be safe to put a...

I was expecting chicks to arrive this a.m. but they went missing in Louisville, Ky. last night. I don't really understand how they 'cannot locate' them. The chicks were sent Express mail and should have easily made it here overnight. Need some +++++ vibes for them to arrive safely either...

A friend has a friend.... this is the situation. They had chickens and a duck. Over time they had 1 chicken left and the duck. The duck and chicken had a very strong relationship to the point that the chicken would roost under the duck's wing at night. Sadly, the duck died 4 months ago and...

We used Tuftex corrugated plastic roof panels to cover the coop and the run. I love the look of it. However, last week after a wet spell, there were droplets of water everywhere underneath. I was walking around in the run and looked up and saw the droplets. The run is open on 3 sides and...
