    Overpowering stench coming from small flock

    Thank you everyone. I’ll dust them again next weekend and give them a healthy dose of love until then.

    Overpowering stench coming from small flock

    Like I stated at the beginning, I’ve only been raising chickens for a year, so I have a lot to learn about taking care of them. Today when I got home the chickens didn’t smell as bad, so I’m also leaning towards neglect versus an illness. They haven’t touched the nesting box or the perches and...

    Overpowering stench coming from small flock

    Frist, I’m new to raising chickens so I apologize if this post sounds a little silly.

    Who is setting eggs today - 4/14?

    This is my second hatch, my pervious hatch I netted 14 out 20, so I’m tryingto do a little better this hatch. Lessons learned from last hatch: My Hovabator holds steady at 47% humidity, instead of adding water daily like last time; I waited to every third day, and added water once it hit 27%...
