Not good, still the same. We talked to a vet and he said it’s probably just an ovaduct issue and there’s nothing we can do.

Here’s pics of her

Could this be vent gleet ? We removed her from the flock last night because she just keeps losing feathers and has hardly any feathers near her vent and it’s very red there too. She has very poopy feathers around there too, we trimmed those feathers with scissors last night. There’s nothing...

Thank you so much.

Thank you so much! I will definitely look into getting that spray. Hopefully I’ll be able to find it at a local store.

That’s another thing we’re having a really hard time with. We have ventilation on both walls of our coop above the roost they sleep on. It’s a pretty big coop too. We have 14 hens and 1 rooster. We are doing the deep litter method and turn the bedding every other day sometimes everyday. We...

Need major advice! we’ve been battling some severe frostbite on our rooster. We live in Northern MN where every now and then our nights get down to -20 F. the other night it got down to -12F inside our chicken coop and that’s when our rooster got severe frostbite. He has had frostbite since the...

She’s acting totally fine, like nothing is even wrong. Her vent is not covered up at all, and she’s still pooping it’s just the poop ball on her feathers under her vent keeps catching more poop and just freezes. It’s -15 at night here most nights recently and it’s barely been getting up above...

Hey all, So one of our Easter Eggers has a frozen ball of poop on her feathers. It’s getting bigger and bigger and the weather here in Northern MN has been in the negatives the past couple days. We are thinking of bring her inside tonight to let the poop thaw out and hopefully fall off and...

Our chicken run has been a mud pit for days. We had major storms for a week straight. It’s so wet and muddy, and we have a roof on top so it’s shaded pretty much the entire day. We live in northern MN so our weather is not going to be getting very warm anymore, so it definitely will not dry out...

Can chickens eat uncooked or cooked quinoa?

I was thinking 3-6 yolks in a day. And not everyday either. And yes in addition to regular feed. We have feed out for them all day. The yolks would just be a treat for them.

Hey everyone! I am a pastry chef and baker and have a business out of my house, and one of the main desserts I make is the French Macaron. This cookie only uses the egg white of the egg and I don’t have many other recipes that use only egg yolks, so I’m always generating a lot of yolks...

Has anyone used an electric wire around their chicken coop? We are building our coop and run now and we have many predators where we live. We live in northern Minnesota, and just recently we have had a 350-400lb black bear come to our front porch twice in search of bird seed. We take all our...

Awesome! Thank you, they would probably like that. They love cuddling up with each other now at night too.
