Bleach won't hurt them? Yes I will put a fan.

I use a plastic bin that is 25 gallons. The bedding is straw. They were on my top floor for a little over a week and now they are in my basement and then they got wet nostrils.

I have 4 easter eggers that I go from a farm supply store. They are 2 weeks old and on a non-medicated, organic chick starter. They have been sneezing for about five days now with no discharge. Yesterday I did notice a little moistness under one chicks nostrils and this morning two of them had...

I am using straw because I find that pine shavings is too dusty. They are my basement.

I use vetrx on my adult flock for good respiratory health. My 2 week old chicks have been sneezing a lot with no discharge for about for about 4 days. Today I noticed that one of them did have discharge under the nostril. My first though was to use vetrx to help, but no where in the instructions...

good advise!

I am going to be building a broody pen on a 4X8 platform that comes off of my coop. The plat form is about 3 feet of the ground. I am going to build it like a mini coop so that it is preditor proof and will block drafts. How big will I need to make it so that my hen will be comfortable, and be...

I see. I really think that cities should raise the number of chickens because 4 eggs a day is about half of what our family of four eats.

I made bone broth soup and some of it did not get finished so I fed it to my chickens for the good protein. It did have added salt in it. Is that bad for the chickens?

okay I put save-a-chick electrolyte in their water and it contains riboflavin. Could the siting on their hocks thing be nothing? thankyou!

I would say that would work fine. If that was your whole run height it would have to be at least 2 feet, but since the rest of your run will be six feet tall it will work. In my experience, when designing a coop/run always plan for more additions to the flock. You might not see yourself wanting...

I got 4 Easter eggers from Theisens and now they are 12 days old. Just today I noticed that one of them was twitching its head. I looked it up and was brought to this disease. One of the other symptoms of Avian encephalomyelitis virus was sitting on the back on the back of its legs. I had...

It's unlikely that she would have mareks disease because from what I understand chicks under two weeks have a maternal antibiotics so the can't catch it. But I would do some research on mareks disease because what you are describing is a symptom of it. Also you should do some research on wry...

On Valentines Day I got some chicks from theisens. I wanted 3 easter eggers and one buff orpington. In a pullet brooder I was told that there was Ameraucanas (which I don't think are true ameraucanas), Buff Orpingtons, ad Rhode Island Reds. I picked out my easter egger and the worker told me...

Yes that is what I thought them I got them. I wonder if the price eventually evens out because you don't have to feed roosters just to get rid of them. How is silkie meat btw? I have not tried silkie meat yet, does it taste like normal chicken meat? It would be kinda weird eating blue chicken.

You can handle them right away! If fact I would recommend handling them right when you get them. I find that handing them the first week, and even the first days, of their life really dose make them more docile in the long run. You will want to start acclimating to your hen around 8 weeks of...

My first thought was buff orpington

There is a lot of controversy about where or not you can sex silkies. Some people believe that buying sexed silkies on mypetchicken.com is a scam and a waste of money. In September I decided to take a gamble and purchase 5 female silkie chicks, and 2 female rhode island red chicks. They were...
