    Is this Pecking or something else?

    We noticed about a week ago this girls comb had a piece missing and a bit of blood. We sprayed some vet Vetericyn, a couple days ago a bit more and today it looks like this. Any ideas what it is and how we can treat it? She seems to be eating, drinking and interacting as normal.

    Castile Soap?

    I recently got a sample pack of green goo products. I see 1 of the items is a wash for chickens which is Castile soap. I’m assuming that Castile soap is safe for chickens but what are your thoughts on using it to lightly bath your flock? If it works I’d rather buy a less expensive version of...

    Older Hen Getting Aggressive?

    3 if our girls are about 5-6 years old. I’ve notice that they seem to be getting a bit “pecky” towards the rest of the flock which are all about a year old. I’m just curious as chickens mature do they get a bit more aggressive? 1 of the 3 in particular I actually saw her jump on the back of...

    What breed is this little lady?

    Interesting. Since I have never bred chicks before, is the rule of thumb the egg color primarily comes from the rooster? If she is part EE, she has no tint to her egg as far as a blue or green.

    What breed is this little lady?

    We got this girl from a friend about 4 years ago and I still can’t figure out what breed she is. Anybody have any ideas as to what she may be?

    Marans Egg?

    So we got a new egg today (I can tell by it’s size). It has to be from one of our FBCM however I’m questioning the color. I think I expected it to be a touch darker. Our girl Gamora laid this egg (I think) and she’s not even 5 months old. I have 2 other girls her age but 1 is an OE so I know...

    Chicken Treats

    Sorry forgot to add the part about the water. I mix the fruit with water so it’s fruit and fill the rest of the container with water. Cover and freeze. When it’s ready I put it out on a hot day and the peck at the ice.

    Chicken Treats

    In the summer I make ice rings with fruit or veggies. I also cut a watermelon in 1/2 and throw it in the run. They love all of it. In the winter I give them hot oatmeal with fruit.

    Molt or something else?

    One of my girls has lost a lot of feathers and doesn’t appear to be growing them back. She lost them about 2 months ago. I thought it was her first molt because she is a little over 1 year old. Then I thought it was a hard molt but now I’m questioning it. She has recently been spending more time...

    Is this normal?

    One of our girls tends to lay eggs that are larger than a jumbo sized egg. The egg on the left is regular size the one on the right is the dinosaur egg. Is that large of an egg normal?
