Swore they were both girls! Now.....?? No crow or egg yet.

Hello! I am considering starting meat chickens. Is there a recommended processor in Middle TN? I am south of Franklin, if that helps. Anyone else have them? Where do you get your stock? Thanks!

wrong spot! can't figure out how to erase!

I really can't say details just yet, as I only noticed this once thus far. I have one hen who has nasty funky poop every night where she sleeps (at least a few weeks has been going on). This morning when I went out I noticed some bright red blood around the area and with her poop (it wasn't much...

The black ones are under a year old.

I have had my two buff orph for 4 months and they always laid one every other day. Got the 5 black orph 2 months ago and they are all on 16% layer feed. I started fermented feed about two days ago. (Also have 6, 19 week old pullets, not laying yet). Really hard to tell who is laying what. I...

Who am I?!

I have 5 in quarantine right now as they are new. They've been there for 4 weeks. Honestly their area is too small but it's the best we could do. I was cleaning out the coop today and scooped some poop and realized it was squirming... Vom. At first I freaked thinking it was worms. The more I...

It didn't look Like any worm photos I googled. Does it to you?

It's the big reddish brown things I wonder about

Got some chickens from someone. They are quarantined. Is this normal poop? It did get wet, hence how watery it is. Just looks different than any of my other chickens!

Does anyone have a small chicken tractor they want to get rid of for free or cheap? Getting some new hens that I need to isolate for the 30 days. There is no way to do so in our coop. The last ones I got I ended up just putting in with the others, which I know isn't ideal. But I also don't have...
