    Best Feed Option??

    Hi everyone! I'm trying to figure out which of the below foods (available at my local feed store) is the best for laying hens. I have two hens, they are pets and are both laying. One of my girls is a cross beak, so we have to go with crumbles, not pellets. If anyone has tried these crumble...

    Sex and Breed??

    I'm hoping our crossbeak baby is old enough to tell a little more about now....she is almost 15 weeks. As far as breed, she came from Tractor Supply and I'm pretty sure she was in the Buff Orpington box (the associate grabbed her for me and I didn't double check the label on the box) but she...

    The Big Fat Is This A Rooster? Thread

    Our crossbeak baby is growing so fast (and she's still doing great)! She is probably around 4 - 4.5 weeks now and has a lot of her feathers in. The full body photo was taken a few days before the others so she didn't have quite as many then. Any better idea on sex or breed?

    She does. She is also missing an eye. We saw her at tractor supply and decided to give her a chance. She's doing just fine so far...hoping for the best.

    Sex and Breed of this chick??

    Pretty sure this chick came out of the Buff Orp box at Tractor Supply, but it just doesn't seem to match any buff orp chicks I've seen....thinking maybe New Hampshire Red, Rhode Island Red, or Production Red? Also, I know it's early but figured I'd ask...any ideas on sex yet? She/he is probably...

    What to put in bottom of run/coop?

    We have almost finished building our coop and have decided to put down wire on the bottom of the run to hopefully keep predators from digging in. Once we do though, we'll obviously need to put something down on top of the wire. What is the best things to use...sand, pea gravel? We currently only...

    Messy/Dirty Chicken Bottom, Pause in Laying, and Broken Membrane Found????

    Hi everyone! My hen has been having some issues this past week and I'm hoping to get some insight and also some info on how to fix these problems. I'll start by saying that last Tuesday one of our dogs escaped his kennel and went after her. I don't believe he was trying to hurt her, i'm sure...
