I just rehomed my two roosters due to one attacking me. I wanted to hatch some eggs while they are still fertile. Someone told me they would be ok to hatch as long as they didn't get below 50 some odd degrees. I've been collecting them about 3 times a day so they don't get to cold but they have...

I'm going to give my flock of 10 chickens who are over 18 weeks old Wazine 17 today but I'm confused on how much to give them. It says on the bottle to give chicks over 6 weeks of age for each 100 birds 2 fl oz in 2 gl of water.. but I only have 10 chickens. How much should I give?

I free range do you think I should keep them in so I can mist them and they will also be closer to food and water?

Thank you that was very detailed and very helpful! I'll check them in the morning. (how to catch them is yet to be seen. lol)

I have two chickens with watery poo and one of the two has green in the poo. I have a good hunch what one has the green but the other with the watery poo I'm not sure yet. I'm not sure what could be causing it or how to treat them. Under the roosts there were two "puddles" in the sand. I say...

We have 4 hens from the original flock and the 3 new ones. We are not planning on keeping 2 of the roos. I wasn't expecting to have my runt turn out to be a roo. My little girl just went out and let all the chickens our to free range. I sure hope the new kids come back in and there are no other...

I have 8 BO and BR.. one is a runt who I think is a roo and 3 other roos they are all 12 weeks old. Today I got 3 EE hens that are about a year and half. The lady I got them from said she never had problems introducing new chickens and they hers were non aggressive and if mine weren't they...

Are you still looking for chickens in the Knox area?

Her body.

More pictures. I think I can only post one at a time from my phone.

My runt BO is 11 weeks old. She looks more like a 6 weeks or so old. She does not look to be getting any bigger in the last several weeks. When she was younger she had feet sores so we separated her then she felt with being picked ok. She got a few sores from that but seemed to heal ok. I read...

Thanks for the answers. What is DE? =)

It is so hard for the mother in me to watch. It doesn't help when she comes running to the door to be held whenever I walk by. She also hides by my feet if I stand in the coop. I have noticed her hiding under and around some of the other females so that makes me feel a little better.

I am thinking about putting sand in out coop but I have three questions to ask that I couldn't find the answers to. 1.) Why do you change out the sand every six months if it doesn't hold moisture or poo. (Maybe a dumb question) 2.) What do you do with all of the sand when you do change it out...

Hello I'm new to raising chickens. I just moved my 5 week old chicks into the new coop and I'm thinking about switching to sand. We laid vinyl flooring to keep the wood floor from rotting if I put sand in the coop do I need to add another liner or is the vinyl enough. (I'd hate to tell my hub we...
