It has rained but I can still see some of the grubX on the ground. Thanks for your reply. I will give them a call.

My husband treated the lawn with scotts grubX. Then I let the laying hens get in the yard and I'm sure they ingested some on more than one occasion. I'm wondering if this will affect them or their eggs. I have been getting nauseated quite often lately and I eat a lot of the eggs. I know this is...

Loonie has been walking on her tip toes for awhile now I noticed the scales on her legs look different. Could it be mites?

Rosie checking out hers and our first egg. So egg citing!

My hen is walking on her tip toes and her tail is down a lot but not always. she also lays down quite a bit. she still runs when we go out hoping we have food. usually we do. she eats drinks and i know she laid one egg 2 days ago. not sure since then. i checked her legs and feet and they...

my little flocks first egg from m Rosie the red sex link. She is an egg laying machine. Rarely misses a day and when she does most time she lays a double yolk the next day. She also lays eggs so big i can't close the egg carton.

Did you ever figure this out? My golden Wyandotte is making this noise today and we found a dead chicken this morning! So sad she was a good girl RIP Pasty! I am hoping the two are not related. We think Pasty broke her neck somehow. But I am no expert

I am watching the rest of my flock. They aren't acting the same as usual but nothing I can put my finger on. Maybe they are grieving in their own chicken wy. My RIR has been searching our small yard for hours now. She keeps checking the nesting boxes even flying on top of the coop behind the...

We have 6 hens and today we woke to find one laying in the corner of run dead under the roosts. I am so sad these are our first chickens. They are 13 months old. I was out of town all week but my hubby said they were all acting normal. I just feel like I let her down. I am pretty sure her neck...

My husband and I decided to get chickens last December and we devoured any and all info we could get on the subject. Much of it came from this site. We finally ordered our chicks from mypetchixken and a coop from eBay. The coop came right away but we had to wait til April for the chicks. As of...
