    What breed is my Rooster

    Meet Captain Smalls, named by my 6 year old. I am pretty sure he would be considered a barnyard chicken but does any have an idea of what breed(s) this handsome guy is?

    They just pick out what they like and knock the rest on the ground. That is why I started fermenting the feed. I give half and half because of the bowls I use to feed. I have 4 bowls and about half fits perfect inbvb the 4 bowls. The feed is expensive and we really can't afford to miss waist...

    Their weight is good and by the end of the day their crops look nice and full.

    Is this Marek's disease.

    So true. My kids love our chickens. They sit and watch them throughout the day.

    Is this Marek's disease.

    Her beak was clipped when I got her. She was not taken care of very well. She is super spoiled now. I ferment feed to give my girls. I think it makes it easier for her to eat.

    Am I feeding my girls enough, they act like they are starving everytime I come out. I feed them Scratch and Peck brand 18% layer feed. The bag suggests 1/4 cup per bird. I have 14 chickens total. I ferment 4 cups of feed and add 1/3 cup coconut pulp (I make my own coconut milk) and 1/4 cup...

    I rescued this chicken she had lice bad and it is now resolved but she has a lot of feather loss from the lice. My daughter noticed today that she has two different color eyes. Could she have Marek's? I have not noticed any issues with balance.

    Soft eggs...what to do next

    I should treat all of them for worms, right? I have been keeping an eye on their poop and everything looks pretty normal.

    I have calcium citrate that I give to my kiddo, and D3 in a separate pill. Could I give them seperately?

    I feed them scratch and peck Organic soy and corn free 18% layer feed. I also sprout lentils and feed them those 2x a week. I have never checked the mill date. She is my only hen with issue. I have had them for about 3 weeks now. Her shells have gotten a bit better but I have not been seen...

    Soft eggs...what to do next

    I got them from a local kid (20's) who had them in his backyard. He said they are a year but I think they are more like 2 years. They also have their beaks clipped. He did not say where he got them from but he said he had them about a year. They needed to be taken care of so I just took...
