    Eggs taste like dirt!

    Yes, I believe that it comes from multiple birds. From my bantams and regular sized hens, but I dont know which ones. Yes the bantams are the only ones that lay year round right now and the eggs still have the dirt taste. This time of year is very noticeable since all the hens pick back up...

    Eggs taste like dirt!

    Yes, they have been on Bar ale organic soy free chicken feed for quite some time. I just don't get it....some eggs do and some don't. Maybe they changed ingredients...or maybe one hen eats a specific bug that makes the eggs taste like this. I have no idea. I was hoping that maybe someone...

    Hi! Check in with this local breeder in Pollock Pines. Ask if they plan on having Dorkings. I got 4 bantam cochins and they are the sweetest/healthiest little things. They were great at communicating and returned my messages. Good luck! https://foxandhenpoultry.com/order-now

    Sour crop with black/green vomit

    Hello everyone, just an update. My sweet hen passed almost a couple of weeks ago. My guess is from cancer or some type of organ failure, but she was comfortable up to the end. Thank you everyone for all your advise, she had a wonderful 10 years and was loved.

    Hen Growing Spur?

    Hey! I remember being shocked seeing a spur on my Langshan for the first time. She is 10 now and her spur has never been a problem, and I have never had to trim it. It adds to her uniqueness LOL.

    Ok. She is still here and seems to be improving! Her crop is emptying now, which is a huge improvement. For the next person who stumbles upon this thread trying to find answers, let me help. What I did to keep her going. Subcutaneous fluids, crop washes with epsom salt (google crop wash for...
