    Mites with backyard chickens in lower Hudson Valley NY

    My chickens have mites but it's overwhelming b/c they are backyard chickens and we've taken their woodchips and poop and composted it. Between their coop being in a half wooded backyard and the fact that they free roam where all other wildlife lives -- how does one ever control the chickens from...

    My bird laid partial egg -- is this normal?

    I do put out oyster shell for them; I feed the purina layena which also has oyster shell in it. they also get treats -- dried meal work and scratch. how would I know if it's something serious with the reproductive system.

    My bird laid partial egg -- is this normal?

    Where they lay the eggs. I call it a brooder -- not sure that's correct. So, what should I do? Wait for it to happen again -- it's only happened this once and all the chickens seemed to be acting normal. What should I do next? And thanks for the response.

    frostbite comb and yellow scabbing

    I have a chicken with a big floppy comb. During the cold in the last two weeks, I saw that one of the tips started to turn black and I assume it is frostbite. Now that section does have yellow crusted scab. What do I need to do at this point if anything? How will I know if this is something that...

    Water buckets and feeders - cleaning and maintenance

    Awesome, thank you. This is the direction that I thought I'd be going in, but wanted to make sure that I wasn't missing any fancy-shmancy products out there. Even for basics like this, as a new chicken mama, it's great to have some feedback.

    Good morning, Wanted to get feedback on how people clean their water buckets. I have two smaller -- 1 gallon each -- gravity buckets and I'm like, how do you expect to get the inside clean?
