Hi! I have an Easter egger who is about 1 year old. This morning I noticed what appears to be pendulous crop. She acts healthy and laid an egg yesterday. I felt the crop and it feels very squishy. For a long time (months) she has had these interesting sideways head movements. From what I've...

Hi all! I have a wel summer chick I bought about a week ago that was supposed to be a pullet according to the breeder. I am not so sure if he/she really is. I did some reading and noticed that welsummer pullets tend to have the defined v, eyeliner and salmon colored chest. I thought at first...

Hi all! We just made the plunge and ordered 4 chicks from Meyers hatchery to be shipped in a couple of weeks (2x buff orps, 1x EE, and 1x barred plymouth rock). I was wondering if you all had used the Meyer chick starter feed? Thanks!

Hi Guys, I have decided after some thought that I will try to build my own coop (was previously considering purchasing one, but I think I could build something with clear steps). I was thinking of trying to build the following coop: https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/country-acres I would...
