When I asked her to come to the farm and try to keep me from making any big mistakes, she dropped everything to help a rookie start their chicken journey on the right foot. I am forever grateful for her help... When I step back and see all that she has going on I am simply shocked at her generosity. So, on this Thursday, a BIG thank you to The Chicken Chick for sharing her time, knowledge and humor with me.

Have a dedicated dog crate or pet kennel/carrier with soft bedding material (pine shavings, Koop Clean, a soft towel, etc) set aside for chicken emergencies. The chicken hospital area should be a quiet space inside the house, garage or basement where the chicken will remain until fully recovered.

Hackle feathers grow around a chicken's neck and begin to appear as a chicken approaches sexual maturity, around 4-6 months old. A rooster's hackle feathers are long and pointy, a hen's hackle feathers are shorter and more round.
