Hi, I have 3 BO's and one EE, born in April. For the past month I have noticed the EE tugging at her tail feathers but I didn't think anything of it. I could tell that she was losing some of her long tail feathers but I thought that she was molting. Today I noticed that her behind (from right...

Hi all, I have 3 BO hens and 1EE, that all started laying within the month. My EE started laying about 2 weeks ago and has not missed a day, until 3 days ago. Her eggs are easily monitored b/c they are the only blue/green eggs. In the past she has been extremely energetic, fast on her feet, and...

Hi all! One of my 22 week old BO pullets layed her first egg last Saturday! It was light brown and narrow. We got another yesterday that looked exactly the same. And then today we got one that was smaller, squatter, and a slightly darker brown color (but definitely a darker color). So my...

Hi, I have 3 BO pullets and 1 EE at about 17 weeks. Since they were about 1 month I've noticed sneezing, and I treated with duramycin-10. However recently it's been more pronounced, and now they have runny noses. When they shake their heads, clear, watery discharge flies out. Also I've noticed...

Hi! We finally got our coop delivered and assembled. It's made out of thin pieces of pine. There are some splits in the wood (Grrr) and some places where the asphalt roof meets wood that we think could leak. My dad wants to seal all of the wood with some kind of paint to keep it together...

Hi! I'm in the 4-H and we've decided to move our 4, 4 month old pullets closer to home (currently they're kept at a 4-H coop in cramped conditions). We're going to put them on a neighbor's farm :) , he's been very nice about it. We're really in a rush to move them out of the community coop and...

Hi everybody! I am in 4-H and all of our chickens (47) are kept at a farm together in a coop and run. Two days ago we noticed one of the EE's was seriously favoring one leg and limping. The only reason we found her was because I went to pick her up (she was sitting on a perch) and when I put her...

Hi all! I'm in 4-H and have raised 4 chicks for about a month and a half now, and it's time to integrate them into the big flock at the farm. We've visited this flock of about 40 (all a month and a half old) around dusk several times, and their sleeping habits don't seem normal, but honestly we...

Hello everybody! I'm a new 4-H member this year and on April 26th got my first chicks! 3 of them are buff orpingtons and 1 is an araucana. So far we're raising them at home, but eventually they'll go back to the farm because my county isn't zoned for chickens The buffs are: Icarus, Minnie, and...
