Thank you so much for doing this! I was just noticing that in the last two bags of feed I have purchased (medicated chick starter) the grains I used to see in it are gone, and instead of crumbles it is basically just dust. Because I feed it fermented, not dry, this is not really a problem, but...

I have six hens, all 8 weeks old. We love having chickens and it is wonderful to go outside and play with them, but I do have one concern. They are all quite friendly, but one of them is almost overly so. As soon as we come into the run, they all scamper up to us and look for treats. Once...

I have a young chick (just under 4 weeks old) that is looking very sleepy. She keeps sprawling out on the ground and lying there, and this morning she did not want to come out of the coop. She does not have bloody poop, loss of appetite, weight, or anything else unusual... she just wants to...

Hi everyone, So I'm new to chicken keeping. We have our first chicks, and yesterday we moved them out to the coop and run (at three weeks old). They loved it, and everything was going well. Today we went out to play and visit with the chicks, who all appeared completely healthy and happy...

Hi everybody, So, being new to chicken raising, and almost done with my coop, I have turned towards the matter of bedding. To help myself and anyone else also considering this, here are my three questions. I would like as many responses as I can get, I know that there are many methods, and it...

Hi everyone, I have been reading lots of posts, articles, and information on this site and have decided on some chicken breeds. Problem is, they aren't the same breed. Is there anything I should really know before starting a mixed flock? Challenges that people have had or success stories...

Hi everyone, So I had this question about "Chicken Toys". I have heard vague mention of them but don't really know what they are, so I finally decided to start a thread. What is a good example of a chicken toy? And what are the benefits of providing them? Also, will I need them in my...

Hi everyone, I am new to chickens and was wondering if anyone can point out a place to buy chicks near San Antonio, Texas. Hatcheries, feed stores, local breeders, and farms are all okay, but I would love to get Easter Eggers if possible, and preferably have either pre-sexed or several week...
