    COOP HEATERS

    I want some heat in the coop because several of my chickens have lost half their combs due to frostbite and I am in rural Georgia.

    Dead chicken(s)

    I'm trying to be dispassionate and say just the facts: I just found my third dead chicken in the last couple of months. We thought the first was attacked by a hawk because we found her in the open area in our chicken run. She had been partially mauled and the head was gone. The second one was...

    Toe nails

    This isn't an emergency but i do need help. I finally figured out at least part of why one of my hens isn't walking well. See pictures. Duh! I feel terrible for not noticing before now. I know I need to trim them and I know to be careful regarding the quick of the nail. However, I do not see any...

    Poop boards....

    We drink a lot of coffee. I dry the grounds in my dehydrator and mix the dried coffee grounds in with my PDZ/stall fresh. It stretches it nicely and smells good! 👍🏻

    Mixing same age chicks from different sources

    The four chicks i have (from the same local source) are 5 days (two of them) and 3 weeks (the other two.) I got tempted by the selection at Tractor Supply today. 😔😁

    Bigger eggs?

    If anyone is familiar with Barred Rocks and Light Brahmas, which one lays the bigger eggs? I have both kinds of chickens, and can never figure out who is laying which eggs. I'm hoping that there is a definitive answer...that one is known for laying bigger eggs. (@trudybot)

    Bright Green Poop

    One or more of mine has the exact green poop with the white mixed in. They may have been overeating oyster shells, because their little container is emptying quickly. Could that cause the problem?

    New coop... moist chips

    We moved our six chickens into a brand new 8x8 coop the other night. We are using chips from ChipDrop that we put in the sun on a tarp for a couple days hoping that they would dry out. We added them to the floor of the coop but they are still quite damp. They have not been in rain... We have...

    First egg!

    I have a couple of light bramas, a couple of barred rocks and a couple of cream legbars. I know the legbars will have green/blue eggs. Can anyone give me an idea about whether this very first egg from my flock is from a barred rock or the Brahma. The brahmas (24 weeks old) are a month older than...
