Well that is great, I would like to get a Rooster but hubby says no. I don’t think I want more chickens than what we have now. Your girl is beautiful btw.
Hello, We have 19 hens the coop is 12x12 inside the barn and the height is 9 ft so they have high roosts as well for winter months. The run is 20 x15 . We do let them free range in an attached area that is 40x15 so I don’t think it’s crowding. I feed 16% crumbles but I give them sardines or...
I am having the same issue. I have used no peck. I am going to try to use the blue kote. Has anyone gotten back to you I don’t see any replies? I have 19 and 6 of them look like yours. Not sure who is doing the feather eating so I need to look into peepers. Good luck.

I cannot get it to stay in:( she seems better I did have some amoxicillin on hand after all and gave 125mg orally. She keeps pushing it back out. I have tried honey it will stay in them she pools, but there isn’t much just white which is because she is drinking and I wanted that to continue to...
I have a 25 week old Rhode Island Red that I noticed was prolapsed this afternoon. She definitely was not in this condition yesterday. So we brought her inside and realized she had an egg inside the prolapsed . Couldn’t find any information on a prolapsed egg bound chicken. We soaked her for 20...
