I have a rhode island red that is a year old for a couple of months she's been losing feathers on her back and neck upon looking at it I see a lot of redness my husband says she is molting but I don't see the feathers growing back how long does it usually take what can this be

I add it to my run which is dirt and mix it in because I was getting a sour milk smell and now I have no smell at all

They grow fast and start laying the eggs. My dog loves them too

I have 6 Rhode Island Reds, they are pets I got them last year when they were two days old I am enjoying them very much laying brown eggs I was getting 4 to 5 eggs a day now they are laying six a day I sell them for $3 a dozen, my accountant gets every egg that comes out of them she cooks them...

I am a newbie at this I clean my pen every couple days in the summer and spring and fall their coop gets cleaned out every day there is no smell in the coop just in the pen where there's dirt

I was told that smell is from the grains that were on the ground and the food that's they scatter on the ground they've been in this spot for a couple months the other spot they were in for over a year and they never had this smell I'm going to try to PDZ

I have a sour milk smell in the run area which is all dirt, do you think sweet pdz will work? Didn't have this smell last year it is granular, but won't they eat it too?

They say lime is also good to use, what is PDZ?

Please help my chicken run smells like sour milk any suggestions I am a newbee

I am interested I have 6 Rhode island reds that are very friendly,,, but how do I get her? I am disabled these are my girls I got them when they were 2 days old, they just turned 9 months
