Linoleum Coop Floors Give me the pros and cons of linoleum (squares / solid) over wooden coop floors! I have seen a lot of folks using linoleum on their coop floors and seem to love it due to easy clean up. Thank you in advance for your reply post. Pic of Weezer in our coop for me to be able...

Now at seven (7) weeks, this is one of my chicks hatched by my broody silkie. Please see the pics and tell me what you think. I do have one that we know for sure is a rooster by the way it's flocking the other lil ones. And that one flocks Sweetpea. This one usually runs away from that one...

What age does Splash Marans start laying eggs? I keep a calendar from hatch through hatching. I put down on the calendar possible times that my chicken may start laying, so I can keep an eye out in both coop and chicken run for tiny 1st eggs.

One of my new pullets had yellow bubbley poop yesterday, I and didn't think anything of it. But today while researching on chicken health came across some info on Coccidiosis! Is Huvepharma Corid 9.6% Oral Solution safe for my chickens to treat for Coccidiosis? It says for calves! And how much...

Poop Pic: On the poop pic, went back on my phone and reverted to original photo. I pray that it's just stress from the journey, and also, my young rooster didn't help matters. I pull my flock out of the run to free range. My flock & Newbies close, but seperated (See Pics): And I let my...

Age: The lady I bought her from guessed that she was 14-15 wks old and that was 6 days ago. Behavior: Her behavior is find. She is eating find, drinking find. She walks around the run and coop. I tried to let them free range with the others and day before yesterday and my young rooter did...

Help, Pullet (non laying) has water come out of her vent onto the ground as if she was peeing(?) I have had her 6 days at this point! I purchased two pullets from a lady. When I got home with them, the kennel carrier was wet (and some poop). So I cleaned the bottom of the pullets up and then...

What does this hen look like to you?

Meet Jimi Hendrix Jr & Maggie May

Can you post a picture of your run, so I can see it and give maybe some good suggestions.

I have roosting bars (3) on one end of my run. Enough for all 9 chickens to have a spot. In the summer & fall most of them sleep in the run. My run is predator proof, so we don't worry about them being in the run, instead of the coop at night. Below is a picture of Aretha. She is on the...

I haven't posted in some while. But we are enjoying out new polish mix chicks. They are mixed with Black with white crest polish hen and Plymouth Rock Rooster. So it's going to be interesting in seeing them grow and see which characteristics they will take on in looks and demeanor.

What’s your plan to keeping your flock safe😀

When the dormant, right-side gonad is switched on, it develops into a male sex organ, called an ovotestis. Scientists have found that an ovotestis will produce sperm. A sexually reversed hen with a “turn-on” ovotestis, will actually try to mate with the other hens in the flock.Jun 21, 2021

I have never hatched any. But my go to if I don't get a answer here is youtube.

We were given chicks and a broody mother hen a week ago. My 4 original hens were chasing and pecking and pulling feathers of my 2 newest hen and all 5 chicks. So my neighbor said she wanted the chicks. As soon as the chicks were going our 4 original hens became calm and stopped the...

Now isn't she a pretty girl! Goldie Grace is her name. And our girl here has gone broody. We can not and do not want roosters, so no fertilized eggs, no baby chicks. After 3 days of refusing to leave the nesting box and puffing up and pecking at us, we used a dog crate to break the broody...

Thank you. I am still new at this. But was thinking the same thing. That they need time to adjust to their new home.

We have had these girls about a week. A gift from our friend. They are the bottom of the pecking order. One came with chicks (not hers, she was a broody mother). After a few days our neighbor whom has a new coop and run wanted the chicks. So we gave them to her. And our Polish Mom, did...

I'm so sorry your rooster died. I'm a praying girl, so praying for you chicken and whole flock for healing and good health.
