Two of my chickens are losing feathers near their vent, I did not see and parasites or infections and they are laying well, is this something I should be concerned about or is it normal?
one of my chickens started laying eggs today but recently I noticed that one of my birds is laying two eggs at a time, is anything wrong, she is still acting normally not even broody.
I am pretty positive it is her because she will go up to her nesting box and all the other chickens will stay down.
I am looking for chicken coop plans (a website where I could get them would be helpful). The coop that I would like to build has to be a walk in (fairly large) and have a roof over at least part of it(I use this kind of coop more like a run and put the chickens in at night) thank you for taking...
Here's my funny story, when my chicks were tweenagers I put them outside for a few days, but then it was predicted to be cold so I put them back in their brooder except KFC(the one who is the first to try everything) jumped out and walked around the basement so I put some boards over the brooder...
I took a coop tour and one of the people there said that she used fermented feed I started using it as a supplement to my regular feed but I was wondering if I could just use fermented feed could I get some pros and cons or personal experiences
This is an out of focus picture of her as a chick it is hard to see but she had a white spot on her chest
she has some brown on her breast she may grow out of that though
she also does have some white on her wing tips
When she was a chick I was sure she was a barred rock but now not so sure if...
This is no a very good picture but it is the only one I have ,she is the one on the left
It also occurred to me to tell you about her personality(if it will help) she is very independent and does not seem to be picked on much
A couple months ago I got this hen as a chick at a farm store she was a brown chick with a dark stripe down her back ,now she has a black and yellow beak and yellow legs I want to know what breed she is so I can know how many eggs to expect
