About 2 days ago I noticed that some of my chickens poop is not white on the top but GREEN. Is this normal? What could it be?

I have 3 types of chemicals that I have on hand. DE, Chlorpyrifos 0.5% in dust form (the chemical is listed under DURSBAN brand), and carbaryl 22.5% this is the same stuff as Sevin dust but liquid and concentrated. They do for sure have lice and lots of eggs . I have them locked up so I can...

It could be worse I suppose.....they could be in the middle of the lawn doing it!!

My lil banty started to lay today! She does have a gentleman that adores her. So my question is when will I have a good successful chance at hatching eggs? I have an incubator so it's just a matter of eggs being stable enough for a hatch.

The reason for this question is I have one of my lady birds that is acting broody. If there are eggs in the nest she's laying on them unless I'm feeding treats to everyone outside then she's scrambling like the rest. If left to herself and eggs in the box I know I can find her there. If no...

I have a cabinet style bator, the temp is around 98 to 100 but the humidity is around 30%. I have a dish the size of a sandwich container but a bit longer with a sponge in it and it's just barely getting to 32% I need some help with this one. How do you get ur humidity up???

I built my first one. Have never had a bator before and got it plugged in but it seems to be taking hours to get to temp. How long does this normally take?? I've had it plugged in since noon and it's now 4:30. Is that to long? Maybe I need a larger watt bulb. It's a forced air bator with a...

I have not yet built my incubator I'm waiting on parts that are coming in the mail. I would like to know if anyone has hatching eggs they could mail. Has to be in Canada as the delay on the border could prove fatal to the eggs. Once I have build my bator I will be trying it out with my own...

I just don't know about my mother. She thinks I'm a redneck because I have chickens. She totally doesn't get the attraction to them. I told her that this afternoon I dispatched 3 of my roos to freezer camp, she was shocked! Says to me that she's gonna take me to the doctor to see if I have a...

Alrighty here's the trouble...I seen this morning runny poop with a long white worm (not tapeworm) in it . I called the feed store and they have one kind of wormer and can't get it for another 2 weeks and it only does 2 types of worms. Called the vet and they don't deal with poultry at all...

So I went to collect eggs this morning and the girls where "screaming" for the morning toss of scratch so I dig out a scoop of it and think this stuff is looking "funny". This is a new bag of scratch and it just looks different to the other bags I have used, so I smell it...and low and behold...
