    OHio ~ Come on Buckeyes, let me know your out there!

    Just wanted to say hi to everyone! We're up in the Cleveland area with 7 layers: BO, BR, black austrolorp, black ameraucana, blue copper marans, and one goofy blue EE. This is year 1 of chickens for us & we're having a blast.

    Poor Marble got bitten by a dog. VetWrap?

    I got Blukote at the feed store--tractor supply in my area. It was in the equine medical section of the store. But I've seen it on Amazon too. Good luck!

And it always seems to be the same color/shape egg. Could one of my new layers alway be pecking her egg after she lays it...

    Crooked toes=non-layer?

    I have a 6.5 month old BR with bent outer toes. Her brooder mates (BR and BO) have been laying eggs for a few weeks now but she's not squatting yet. Her comb has been quite red for weeks now. Do you think she's a non-layer? Please let me know what you think. I'm new to this!

    My dog just killed two of my chickens and seriously injured a third.

    Googoo, our BR, was degloved down her whole back this summer by our dog. Miraculously, she made it through and laid her first egg last week and is back to bossing everyone around. We cleaned her wound with diluted Betadine, coated it with Neosporin (no pain reliever type), then switched to...
