We bought these (4) gals in August and wondering if anyone knows what kind they are? Thanks for your help!

I wanted to post this in case anyone was interested in looking. I often overlook the "My Coop" link in regular posts. Didn't want to post everything twice, so here ya go! For more, click on "My Coop".

We have a sick chicken. About 3 y/o. She was a wild one - hardest to catch, not tame at all. Squawked and ran when you looked at her from across the pen...not kidding about that either! She was this way last night when I shut the coop door - jumping up and down off the roost, depending on...

We will soon be making the run bigger and would like your opinions, pros, cons, and insight as to what would be best. Still working on the new coop, roof is on now. Trying to get things done before cold weather comes. Hard since there's not much daylight when DH gets home. This pic is a...

Today I made a coop page and everything seemed fine. Now when I go back to look at it, all the pictures are gone and it says "No Image Available" where the picture used to be... Can anyone help me with this? Is there a way to find them again, without posting each picture again? Just click...

This morning was the 4th morning in a row that I've found bloody poop in the poo-tray. I cannot be sure it's the same chicken, as they are probably moving around at night (not sure about that), but it is in the same spot each morning. Tomorrow I will see if the same hen is in that spot when I go...

Yesterday, I found a strange thing in the poo-board. I wish I had taken a pic of it, but of course, my mind didn't work that fast... Occasionally I've found a shell-less egg in there in the morning along with the poo. Yesterday, what appeared to be a broken, shell-less egg was there and it...

Hello! I think I just may need some reassurance here and a few questions answered more completely before I go do this! I appreciate all who may give me some more advice. So pour it on, and thanks! July 31 - I put Wazine in their water, dumped after 24hrs. I did see (1) 2-3" roundworm in one...

I've looked through a bunch of threads and didn't find anything to address this one: 3d after Wazine treatment in their water, I only had 2 eggs from 10 chickens and the 3rd egg was no bigger than a robin's egg. All in the same nest. Is this an effect of the wormer?

Have been looking and haven't found anything quite like this in any threads: I am finding 3-6" long poop in the poo-board in the morning. 10 hens and 1 roo roost there at night so I don't' know which one it is. They all seem to be acting fine. On further inspection, it seems the poop has...

i have been trying to fatten up my chickens - they seem a little thin to me - so have been mixing in about 2cups of buttermilk each morning with their crumbles. They gobble it down like they are starved! My question is: Can you give too much buttermilk? They still eat the dry crumbles but...

About 1 week ago, I had to change my email. I did receive your email that said to verify my email, which I did, but haven't received ANYthing since that. The website said that my email had been verified but nothing else has changed. I checked to be sure of the settings. I miss your emails and...

I posted these questions, but it was an old thread, and haven't received any replies yet, so thought I'd start another one, please forgive the repetition! There are SO MANY differences in opinions and SO MANY different options, it's VERY confusing. That being said, I'm trying to sort out what...

We had a hen that was acting sluggish past 3d, but she's done this before and acted normal after a few days that first time. Today, she up and died in my arms. I went out to open the coop door at 6am. About 1/2 the flock came out, and I left them be for a few extra winks. About 9am, I went...

When I got home today, I found an EGG on TOP of the water bucket. At a distance, I thought it was a regular egg, but when I went inside the run, it was very SOFT. All intact, but soft. Just sitting there, minding its own business. Doesn't appear that any of the chickens tried to eat it or even...

I was looking through the thread about chicken saddles and wondered if this could be why a lot of my hens have bare backs? If I post a few pictures, would someone be able to tell me if it is from the roosters or from something else, like other hen picking or mites or molting or - whatever...

I found this in the pooboard this morning. To me it looks like the membrane just inside the shell. I did not see any shell pieces. The glob at the bottom is gelatinous and appears like the white of an egg would be - kind of jiggly and I see the clear gelatin-type substance. I did not see any...

One of our Golden Comets has been acting strange today. She is very listless, shuffles around if she moves at all, keeps her head pulled in (I haven't seen her extend her neck all day.) She just stands there mostly with her eyes closed. Not pecking around like all her room-mates. Nobody else...

What is the best type of feeder to use in order to not waste so much feed? I feed crumbles in the feeder but most of it is pecked out and wasted on the ground. Here is the feeder type that we used right now. It is screwed to a board under a plywood roof. 12" long...

We bought 16 adult chickens and 2 roosters about 4 weeks ago. The roosters fight terribly, so one remains in a cage. I'm trying to sell him. One of the chickens has (had when we got it) a sore on her back from being pecked. I've have her in a cage so it will heal up but put her in to roost...
