Hello, I bought 50lb bags of sunflower seeds, wheat, and corn in June and have been storing them in the house until i needed them, which would have been this weekend since i just finished up my previous batch (I prefer to mix my own). I have 6 chickens, so they don't eat a ton, so it can tend...

Thanks

How do i know theyre broken? She doesnt pull away or flinch or anything when i straighten them out and move them.

Hi, I have an araucana, ~4-5y.o. She disappeared sunday night and reappeared monday sometime. (No clue! City lot. By best guess is bird of prey and she dropped from a height, though no clue how she got home. Yard has a 6' privacy fence.) Shes now wobbly and her wings are hanging down. Ive...

I dont think any of mine are broody. I never see them hanging out in the nesting boxes and longer than normal.

I got the bls when they were baby chicks. I added the other two in december. For the last few months, ive been getting 7, 6, 8, 8, 7, etc. Its just recently that their laying patterns have changed. Though i did fence in the north side of the run to cut down on the screeching of one of them (im...

1 year (April, so 1 year 3 months).

Hello, I have 6 black sex links (1 year old), an aracuana (sp?), and a speckled sussex. Some of my bsl are either not laying or theyre taking turns bc im only getting ~3 a day. and im not seeing any behavioral problems. I can only observe them after work and on weekends so i dk which ones it...

Hello, I have 6 black sex links, 1 yr old, and two of them can get awfully obnoxious and loud. Constant screeching from about 10 to 2p. I work 9-5 during the week, so i only hear it on weekend and therefore am not trained to go let them out when they get loud. Since i do work during the week...

I got transplants from people but did buy seeds this year from horizon herbs.

Thanks!

Hi, So my girls have taken to pushing the straw out of the nesting box before laying, so theyre laying on the underneath plywood. So i had six eggs laid the other day, and one was squashed by the time i got to them, so the others were coated with dried yolk. I couldnt wash it off, so i dropped...

There is no science that says its safe bc monsanto, et al arent forced to test it. But common sense says that splicing the dna of a plant and adding in pesticide dna cannot possibly be healthy. It cannot be wiped or rinsed off. There are, however, studies that show pesticides in the fetuses of...

Soy is 90+% gmo. Soy is not good for chickens and you shouldnt be so rude.

My girls poo a blue green when they eat a red cabbage. Freaked me out the first time i saw it! :)

Good luck! It hurts to lose chickens. :( hope the remaining four pull through!

I accidentally broke my dryer 2 1/2 yrs ago and havent replaced it. I have multiple clotheslines in the basement for drying. My basement is unheated though, so some of the heavier items might take 2 days to dry. I did not see a significant drop in electrical usage, but i only did about two loads...

About a month ago, i introduced two 3-4 yr old hens to my current flock of 6 10 month olds. I didnt have the ability/setup to separate them, so i put out an extra water and food dish in the furthest corner of the (decent sized) run. I witnessed a couple of wing pulling incidents but it only...
