Hey all! Since my chickens were young, I've noticed a bit of an odd behavior within them: they love drinking running water. If I ever poured water into their waterers and a bit spilled over, they'd immediately drink the running water, but wouldn't really touch the water in the waterer. Even when...
Yep! We ended up getting some not even a week after that post. They now have a layer feed, and they occasionally get fruits + vegetable table scraps, and eggs on occasion.
Hello!
I've seen lots of accounts of oregano having incredible antibacterial, antifungal, and generally anti microbial properties. So much so, that it's even used to keep commercial chickens healthy! I make oregano-cinnamon tea for my chooks every so often.
The antifungal properties are really...
Thank you! Yesterday after I wrote this, I gave her some ACV with yogurt. Today I checked on her, and she has no balloony/sour crop, and had far more energy. I think she is making improvements. :D
Thank you so much for the advice!
She does lay from time to time, and we haven't had any issues with her egg laying health prior to this. She hasn't been dewormed (dewormers are also highly regulated) but I've been putting ACV in the water. There haven't been issues with worms before however. We...

By the time I get home from school, the feeder is usually empty and I restock it then. I am a bit worried about overfeeding/them overeating, since we only currently have chicken scratch atm. We will also hopefully be getting some better feed soon, at which point I think I'll feel more...

However, I have recently noticed her crop is more full than the others. We have 2 additional brown, ISA chickens and I've noticed their...
