    New chicks?

    I live in Arizona, and want to get 2 new chicks for show this year. Is march a good month to do that? I already have 2 chickens. I’m planning on keeping the chicks outside in a large box until they can go in the coop with the other 2. Is it a good idea to keep them in a separate coop though...

    Not laying eggs

    I haven’t noticed anything abnormal which is why I’m so confused. I will check for mites and lice.

    Not laying eggs

    Hey everyone, I have 2 one year old chickens who have already started laying. They stopped laying after this summer, and never picked back up. They have normal poop, they eat normally (they are on an egg layer and protein mix) they also drink normally. They get enough sun, and I don’t think they...

    Anyone keeping chickens secret from a HomeOwners Association?

    Definitely get the RIRs. Mine are almost completely silent when they are happy. (Fed and entertained) I live in the city where chickens are not legal. I’ve had them for about a year, and no problems from the neighbors yet. I also had Barnevelders, these were LOUD. I recommend the RIRs if you...

    Arizona backyard chickens - now legal

    “Gov. Katie Hobbs has signed into law House Bill 2325, which prevents a city from making an ordinance that bans backyard chickens at a single-family home. The bill allows residents to have up to six chickens in their backyard. The coop, which must be cleaned twice a week, can be a maximum of...

    Pecking at each other

    I give my 5 hens half a scoop of an all flock protein mix with 20g of protein, and half a scoop of egg layer mix daily with 15g. This gives them protein, and calcium. I do not give them separate calcium. They all lay healthy eggs with good shells. Sometimes one doesn't lay everyday, but that is...

    Pecking at each other

    My chickens peck at each other really bad, and I’m looking for the best solution. Is there a favorite ointment for healing? What do you all use to heal/detour chickens that peck at each other

    Am I a bad mom

    Update. My chicks are all grown up now! My girls sleep IN THEIR COOP, and lay eggs every day. They love to play in the grass, and are super happy. We weren’t able to get a bigger run, but they are let out in the yard daily. We ended up making a ladder that fit, and the hens figured out how to...

    No shell egg?

    My chickens just started laying eggs for the first time, and 4/5 have been laying for about a month now. I only had one that wasn’t laying. Today, I checked the coop and there was an egg with no shell in the roosting area. Is this normal? It isn’t cracked or punctured, but there is yellow...

    Can you freeze chicken food?

    Hey friends, I’m a first time chicken owner in Arizona. It has been reaching 80°+ this week, and my chickens have started panting. I was wondering if I could put water in their food, mash it, then put it in the fridge or freezer. I used to do this when they were chicks, but I never refrigerated...

    Is purina feed okay?

    I also have a 20% protein all flock feed, but it’s pellets. My chickens have only had crumble, and when I tried the pellets they didn’t like it.

    Is purina feed okay?

    I honestly don’t like anything purina. I’ve never bought their products, and didn’t plan on it, but I’m new to chickens and one laid her first egg today. I went and got purina layer feed. My friend said the purina was good. I didn’t like that it was 16% protein, as they have been on 18% protein...
