I doubt lipstick would last that long. Would love to know. On humans the kind that would share color usually only lasts a few hours. A dog cage is great for isolating when needed. I just have a few chicks now so I try to buy 2 of each of different egg color. Ameraunas can be 2 blue and 2...

I really like the idea of touching his face and wattles. He is VERY stressed, by himself and away from his former companions if I read it right, and trying to establish dominance for survival. I have found that roos have more trouble with males, so if you have a woman who can help calm...

When I get new chickens, I get a different breed, preferably that lays a different color egg. That way I know which group they're with.

We just let them live out their lives. We add about 3 new ones every year or so and keep things at about 6 active layers. I used to have a lot more chickens, but a small number is now fine for our small family. How many do you need to supply your family? Make sure you always add any in 2-3...

Do others think this might be a time to use a red heat lamp if there is a plug?

I give meal worms in the winter. It seems to give them more energy and lead to better winter laying. ??

Thanks for a useful list!!!

Can you drill a hole the right size?

I have even used a little Pedialyte or Gator Ade. Might want to check on the balance, but it is electrolytles and a chicken friend told me he used Gator Ade in small amounts mixed in with the water. Also you can add some ice to help them cool.

Chickens go to roost when they're ready. You can't make them go early unless you chase them. They roost and start snoozing--with or without you. I try to close the little chicken door at the same time, (dark), but life gets in the way often and they are just fine. They are their own social...

Here's a technical article that you only really need to read the title of: https://www.jbc.org/article/S0021-9258(20)72685-2/pdf. Chickens don't respond to all antidepressants the same way. Let us know how she does. It should be metabolized in about 24 hours. In humans, OD is rare when...

I actually found a litter scooper that folds so that it can work standing or leaning over! I have used the putty knife approach as well. What kind of bedding do people use that sifts? My bedding goes into compost after and is pine. It doesn't go through any of the devices above.

Whichever breed you choose, you'll have to cull all roosters that aren't purebred, I think.

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE A HUGE PEN AS WELL THAT IS MUDDY MOST OF THE TIME WITH ALL THE RAIN I'VE HAD LATELY. FOR A SMALL RUN, YOU CAN DUMP IN SAND OR BEDDING TO COVER THE MUD, BUT IT WILL EVENTUALLY NEED MORE. THE GRASS IN MY CHICKEN AREAS HAS NEVER GROWN BACK--AND IT'S BEEN MANY...

Now I just need you to come do it for me! lol.
