    Omlet automatic door motion sensor

    Hi all, I don't know if we made a mistake with calibrations or it's a defect with our Omlet automatic door. My students installed the door this morning, and while we were testing out the motion sensor it did not work. They even lightly pushed on the door but it kept closing. Is there something...

    3 yr old suddenly cant walk well

    We live outside of Houston and have a flock of 6 hens. 5 of those hens, including the one in question, was added back in early March by someone we knew. I honestly dont know if she was vaccinated for Mareks. She does not look physically injured by another bird and is 2nd in the pecking order...

    3 yr old suddenly cant walk well

    We have a 3 yr old cinnimon queen who has taken a turn within hours. She seemed normal - running around and such - until about an hour ago. My son found her laying on her side inside the coop. She couldnt hold her neck up right and it seems to be bent to the right a bit. Upon further inspection...

    Roundworm not found in poop...

    ...at first glance, this sounds great! However, I was cleaning out our run and coop - done once a week - and found a few roundworms on the ground in the run. They were not in any poop; they were laying on the ground somewhat alive. I could not find any worms in any other poop. I observed the...

    Thanks for your imput GC, it was very reassuring. Sometimes I feel I'm getting shamed by the internet because I have chickens and their yolk isnt orange :hmm

    Newbie(ish)

    Although I've already been here for a month and have made 2 threads, I didnt actually introduce myself. I'm a middle school teacher with a current flock of 6 at my (very) small school in Texas. I got thrown into the chickens about 5-6 years ago. I had help with chicken care until about a year...

    Daily veggie scraps

    Hi all, Given a temporary (hopefully) change in our flocks roaming space, they do not have access to grass all the time. We only have 6 hens and they are laying normally since the change over a month ago. They only get about 2-3 hours of grass roaming a day and, naturally, all greens in the run...

    Mixed ages flock and fighting

    Thanks everyone for the help. Each flock has more than enough water and food stations. We are adjusting barriers again to see if this set up will work better. I know it's just the beginning of a several week process. What worried me about the whole thing was the amount of blood on one chicken...

    Mixed ages flock and fighting

    Thanks, I will try this tomorrow and hope for the best. We tried to keep the single hen and the new hens divided but these 2 decided they wanted to pack through the hardware cloth barrier. This was more than establishing a pecking order.

    Mixed ages flock and fighting

    I'm at a loss and need help. A bit of backstory: We have 1 black australorp (3.5 years) and she has been alone for about 2 months now. She was part of a flock of 5. It was in limbo whether or not we would get chicks or full grown hens. 2 weeks ago, we had the opportunity to adopt 5 hens from a...
