Thanks guys! that's quite helpful! anyone else?

Hi! I have had chickens for 2 years now and they are slowing down laying. I do know this is supposed to happen! They are my first batch. We got them from Buckerfield's at 2 days old so we never got to hatch them. I would like to hatch chicks in the spring. We are planning on sending them to...

my hen is 8 months old

how cold is it there??? im up in canada and it went from about 1 degree celsius (33.8 degrees) to -5 degrees celsius(23 degrees farenheit) within the past 2 or 3 days and one of my isa browns is standing on the floor of my coop but has her head tucked into her feathers and is just standing there...

just wondering how to check for lice or mites in my hens. What will lice look like?and what about mites? our hens are 8 months old and laying well. we have 4 sex-sal-link browns, 3red rock crosses, 3red sussex crosses, 1 rhode island red roo, 4 buff orpingtons, and 3 ameracaunas(2 hens 1 roo)...

is that farenheit or celsius???? what size coop do you have that could be the factor

we have a 6 x 8 coop with 3 long roosts and a 20 x 12 run wich it is not cold right now so they still go outside
