    Quarantine time?

    No, there’s just two… oddly, the other two pullets from her clutch. The one above is the one that was massacred, and the white one below is what they are going after now. It’s weird.

    Quarantine time?

    Tried to let her back in… apparently, they are going after her white claw on the other foot as well…

    Quarantine time?

    As far as I could tell it was. She had some blood on her beak too…

    Quarantine time?

    So, I came out today to 5/11 of my hens with blood on them. One seemed worse than the others, though, none were that bad. She has a little blood on her beak and on one of her toes, and the talon seems partially broken. I separated her into a dog crate next to the run today, because I noticed...

    Polish chicks

    I picked up four chicks for Mother’s Day yesterday. Two of them are Polish. They cannot be more than 2-3 days old. First three pictures is chick 1, and the last three pictures are chick two. I’m assuming these are White Crested Polish? Also, I did my best to pick the ones that had the...

    Dead suddenly at 11 weeks

    Coming up on a week. I started letting them out yesterday evening. They’re still considerably smaller than the others though. I’m guessing it’ll be another 3 weeks to integration. My “big” girls don’t conform easily. I typically have to put one to two of them in “jail” for 24 hours after...

    Dead suddenly at 11 weeks

    That is one of my concern/fears. Yes, it’s a normal wire dog crate.

    Dead suddenly at 11 weeks

    It’s a pretty decent size. There were only 3 in there, and it’s the same one that I previously had had 5 in without issue. She had been roosting on the bar I have in there for them, or so, it appeared. Part of me thinks that it’s possible that her head got stuck in the bars. Her neck was...

    Dead suddenly at 11 weeks

    I started with 4 Black Star chicks back in February. I lost one within 48 hours of bringing them home, and now, at 11 weeks, as I was trying to integrate them into my existing flock, I found her dead inside the crate that I was using to slowly introduce the flocks. She has no injuries on her...

    Chicken poop?

    Okay. Ordered some and a separate feeder for pickup. Thanks.

    How long can a newly laying hen go without laying?

    So, my pullets just started laying a few weeks ago. The only who was laying the most consistently hasn’t laid in 4 or 5 days. Can this be a normal thing?

    Chicken poop?

    I should add though, I had previously answered this question, stating that I have only fed them their normal feed.

    Chicken poop?

    They eat grass shoots some.

    Chicken poop?

    That’s what I would have thought, but in a veterinary group, they believe it’s normal.
