I have 9 chickens that are 11 months old. One girl is acting a bit odd. Her name is Beatrice and she's a Wyandotte. On 3/13/2024, I moved their coop to a new location in my yard. I had never done this before. I put all of them in their playpen (a mobile area of about 100 sq feet). I put...

I have a Rhode Island Blue / Production Blue (this is a combination of a Blue Astralorp and a RI Red) that is 9 months old - RORY is her name. She has what looks like an egg membrane hanging out of her vent. She was acting completely normal while foraging with the rest of the flock then she...

On this past Wednesday, November 22nd, a hawk attacked one of my chickens and messed her up pretty bad. Her back was a bloody mess and I took her to my vet who gave her a couple stitches, gave me antibiotics to give her, and charged me 360 bucks. Oh my goodness. My hurt girl is in my bathroom...

Three of my nine birds have started laying eggs. My first girl is a good 2 weeks in and laying 6 eggs a week. However she started laying in the middle of the night and not going to her nesting box. The first egg I got was undamaged, but the second was cracked. I haven't been using lighting...

I know the snake isn't poisonous which is why I haven't killed it yet. I just got my second egg today and when I came out 2 hours later I found this guy hanging around in the coop. I don't have food in the coop, it is all outside. I only have the automatic chicken door and a door for me that...

I have a mobile coop that I plan to move around my yard roughly 4 times a year with the hope that I can move an electric fence to give them more free range options as the year goes by. They will have a 6 x 12' dedicated predator proof 1/2" hard wire cloth run and access to the forage a few...

So, I had COVID back in May and never really felt like I got over the respiratory side of things. I got my chicken babies on April 27th and have been using pine bark shavings. I cough in the morning and a few times during the day. I thought I might be allergic to my chickens, but when putting...

I had to leave the house and left my husband to watch our 10 week old chickens and it started to rain. I'm new to chickens and our run isn't attached to our coop so the chickens could only get under the tent but not completely away from the rain. My husband doesn't pick them up and I couldn't...

I live in Waxhaw, NC which gets stupid humid in the summer with mild winters. I am building my big coop currently while my little girls are in a temporary structure. My coop is mobile because of setback restrictions which would have required the coop to be about 2 feet from my pool. LOL. I...

I'm finishing up my mobile chicken coop build and looking to purchase a door. I've read about the Ador1 and think that might be the way to go. I love to buy American when possible. My question is this...mount inside with a light sensor outside or outside with the canopy? Any other...

Hello, My name is Erica and I am just getting into keeping chickens. I've ordered 8 pullets and I am working on getting a coop together for when they arrive. It needs to be a mobile coop because I don't have 150' in every direction for the required building setback in my area. We are on 1.5...
