I ended up culling the worse hen, still waiting for the antibiotics to come it's been a week which will be tomorrow one of the pullets started laying I haven't been really hearing the rattling anymore but I haven't really been listening closely at night when they're on the roost which I'm going...

This person constantly has ads for years on Craigslist this time of year they have a huge indoor, I want to say it looks like a battery hens factory but they're loose in separate rooms I was in there years ago but I think they've let go of how they take care of the cleanliness inside if you know...

So as we all know prices have gone up on everything, I started my new flock this year of 10 it was only supposed to be four but we know how chicken math goes. I had six pullets... I bought 2 more after 3 week quarantine introduced 3 weeks went by and then got two more.... The last two went...

Funny a new chicken that went through quarantine I added to my flock has now developed a low rattle, I'm thinking URI now she most likely infected the flock of pullets she came with a friend who isn't making the noise now I hear that rattle from a other of my pullets so annoying, I ordered the...

And I used to free range and butcher some of my roosters I would find so many rocks that they picked up.... I'm sure that ground up the food properly as well but having grit added it's always a plus, do they put grit inside layer feed by the way just wondering I've heard I think that they do but...

All these are great ideas... They don't have mites and they're run area is half cement and half dirt so they get plenty of pebbles and rocks while pecking around. I checked them for mites and nothing. One is just molting a new tail and 3 others are molting around the neck area. I've always had...

Oh I know, they have me trained, my uncle is partial owner of a bakery too so I get tons of leftover bread I take a loaf and I rough chop it in an old food processor so they eat all of it and not just the inside I give that to them three times a week and no treats such as cracked etc, I don't...

Hey there everyone so I got some chickens after taking a break since September I bought four one and a half year olds barnyard mixes the rooster to the hands was an Americuana, and 2 Leghorn pullets who are going to start laying in the next few weeks. I've only been getting one or two eggs a day...

I stick with what I know I've never gone wrong with blue seal or the 22% grower and if they're layers every once in awhile I put a handful of crushed oyster shell in their feed and I'm good to go they're spoiled little chubbies.. it's also crumbles.. which wasn't my choice when I got them I...

Another way. To tell is if they are producing eggs I know in the winter they don't produce as many but if they are on the younger side they produce and they don't molt their first year

I never heard anybody ponder such a question LOL
