    Official BYC Poll: How Often Do You Clean Your Coop?

    I clean the poop out every morning. In the spring, summer ( complete bedding change). and fall I clean whole coop out and wash weekly. In winter I do a modified deep litter method daily. I clean poop with the bedding it is on out and add more straw as needed. I do a complete bedding changed...

    How many days in a row do chicken lay?

    Thank you. She is still laying daily. I'm sure its been well over two weeks but I officially started counted 10 days ago yesterday. You put my fears to rest. Robin and my black sex linked Loki are my first two chickens and they are the most sweet birds. My other three, Lacy-silver wyandotte...

    How many days in a row do chicken lay?

    Hello I have an olive egged who will be 2 years old on May 3rd. She has laid 8 days in a row for sure that I started counting but I’m pretty sure it’s been longer. She did not do this last year. She always took a day off about every 5/6 days. Should I worry. She acts normal and looks good. Still...

    I hope this helps. They had no problems last winter except when he had -30 wind chill and subzero temps I did bring them into our large garage in a temp coop and they all did fine with transitions to and from original coop. I have stayed outside or watching from window there are no predators...

    Housebound

    I’m not home at the moment I’m doing last minute Christmas shopping. I will get pics on my coop and run in the morning. I swear they are vampire/werewolf chickens. Sun comes up they go in sun sets they come out and finish eating. I just deep cleaned their coop (done monthly no matter the...

    Update. All 5 girls come out eat and go back in. It’s really nice out here in Northern Illinois and all the girls ate and went back in. I don’t understand. They sometimes come out later and will definitely come out when I say dinner time. The younger three will actually come out when it’s dark...

    My husband and I made windows with plastic leaving 3-4” on top for ventilation. I also put a window shade on the back of the coop to keep out wind and rain. I just roll it up when I clean every morning. I think I figured it out. I had one of those Christmas extension boxes to plug in my heated...

    All 5 come out to eat and all 5 go back in. They look good. Other than my two who are molting. As a matter of fact my black sex link already has her feathers growing back. My Wyandotte doesn’t look too bad either now. Everyone has good color and no drainage from nose or eyes. They still talk to...

    Hello My girls have not been laying. Two of them are molting (wow they look funny). But the other three don’t seem to be. My question is why do they stay in their coop. They’ll literally come out to get fed and when they are done they go back in. Their coop/run is winterized and has good...

    egg withdrawal

    Thank you so much. That's exactly what I plan to do. I would have asked when I was there but an emergency came in and he was called out.

    egg withdrawal

    Hello My Lilly (13month old bard rock) just finished a course of Panacur, cephalexin/nystatin and albon for coccidia, yeast infection and one round worm ova. The other girls tested negative. Due to an emergency in the vet office they did not inform me of the egg withdrawal time after these meds...

    Shell-less egg

    Thank you. Maybe my husband mowing the lawn for the first time this year bothered one of them. I wish I could stay home to monitor but off to work I go
